His birds-chairs are so real and captivating that the moment you see them, you have only one wish – have it physically in your salon. There is only a little nuance, all these amazing furniture pieces are virtual. Just as some candy shoes, cutie toes, crazy noodles and other inhabitants of Bonny Carrera imagination. Welcome to the joyful world of positivity brighter reality.

How did you become a graphic designer? What was the starting point?

I’ve always been fascinated by 3D illustrations, advertising posters and how such campaigns are created. Very soon I wanted to contribute myself to it. My motivation was always great creations.

Purchasing an NFT from, for instance, your collection of birds chairs, what can we do with this object? Shall we use it in our virtual space, or, probably, we can try to create a real object from this image to decorate our living space?

You can use my artwork for many purposes. Currently I see three main applications: to exhibit the concept designs as art. Both digital as NFT and there is also an analog exhibition of my paintings in France. Then there is the educational area. I have a masterclass, online and also starting this summer at a university. The third report is the production of the furniture pieces. I am currently planning the implementation with a producer in Portugal.

Debates on replacing the physical reality by virtual/ augmented one are rising. Do you think it would be possible one day that artificial world will be substituted for the real?

I don’t hope that the real world will be replaced. I have always seen artificial intelligence as a useful extension of our lives.

Let’s talk about the actual process of creation and the part AI plays in it. In your prompt online course you promise to teach how to create beautiful artworks within Midjourney using “an AI that generates beautiful images from text input”. Does it mean that anyone can become an artist as the creation would be conducted by a machine and the role of a human would be only in guiding it? Who is the artist in this case?

Artificial intelligence is just another digital tool for creating a work of art – just ike Photoshop or a photographer’s camera. So Midjourney is as much the creative author of my art as the sculptor’s hammer.

Where does vanilla palette come from in your artworks?

I come from the 3D field. And I find this style realizes its potential most with round, cute shapes. I like to see all this detail, reflections and textures on light objects and backgrounds in pastel shades.

My daughter of 5 yo loves your art-objects, most of them are so cute that you want to touch them and play with them. Do you envisage to make some of them real, probably a capsule set of toys or small decoration objects?

Best greetings to your daughter – this is my great pleasure. Yes, we are currently testing the production of my concept designs with a furniture manufacturer. The community has chosen an armchair called “Mongo Yoghurt” at this prototype stage. I’m documenting this process on my Instagram channel.

What is the most challenging from your point of view, in a creative path of a digital artist?

Good news is that it’s getting easier and easier to create works of art. More and more people can make their visions visible without much prior knowledge. Therefore, the biggest challenge is still the great idea: the content of the image that can trigger emotions. Artificial intelligence can only assist in this creative process so far.

Can you share with us some projects you are currently working on?

Yes, I created a collection of plum armchairs yesterday that I’m about to post.

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
