"AI Enigma" by the Mexican artist Ercilia Cepeda is a striking acrylic painting that merges modern questioning with a tapestry of artistic styles. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Banksy, Cepeda uses stencil like techniques to portray a thought-provoking ensign that boldly asks, "What is AI?". This central theme is surrounded by a constellation of figures and symbols, reminiscent of Basquiat's raw and emotive style, yet infused with a distinct touch of Mexican magic realism.
Set against a vivid red background, the painting is a visual feast, rich in symbolism and complexity. Cepeda's work challenges viewers to delve into the depths of contemporary issues, wrapped in layers of artistic heritage and cultural references. The incorporation of various elements and the question of artificial intelligence make this piece not only a stunning visual experience but also an invitation to explore the intersections of technology, identity, and art.
"AI Enigma" is more than a painting; it's a conversation starter, a bridge between the past and the future, and a reflection of the ever-evolving narrative of human creativity.

Through her work Ercilia Cepeda reveals her vocation to dialectically express the truth and the creative talent to be found in the unconscious, as well as the lies. These paintings represent a record of her journey through her own psyche during which we are presented with moments of intense anguish and pain with no hint of pleasure, moments of loneliness with no hint of redemption, and an introspection that allows no concessions. The iconography and the titles of her work contain constant religion.
