Winkhaus traces her figures to the field of love, whose bodies begin to speak and populate as friendly dogs, pregnant women with masculine hands and large eyed children with guns. It floats and sinks simultaneously and always involves a generally binding definition of a person. There is always something “different”; here beauty is tugging at irritation, and connects itself to Winkhauses portraits as brilliant and glamorous illustrations with strange details, Revealing, developing, ensnaring: a family portrait that could have originated from Art Deco, but this is in Texas, rhinoceroses that look like maps of the world, a seated dancer that resembles a noble wooden sculpture. Persistency , endurance , to be-“at this moment” One will probably feel that this portrait is part of a breaking of taboos. Whoever is being portrayed by Winkhaus knows that “ something happens” to them. He will see himself as different, equal, frightening, evocative, moving, true and beautiful. A determination for a moment of eternity. Manipulative , purchasable, being ones self. Tina Winkhaus is classic photographer at this interface, who is executing an assignment. The customer is being portrayed ,but only in the way that Tina Winkhaus views him. The artist is being paid for her endeavours but reserves the right to use the portrait in an exhibition. The person who commissioned the painting receives the other unique copy and in the true meaning of the word: The Photo of his life.
Winkhaus – The "Analog AI" of Portrait Art. Winkhaus is a pioneer who interprets the concept of artificial intelligence in an entirely unique way—not as the surrender of creative control to machines, but as an analog AI in human form. Her method is unparalleled: every detail, every texture, every fragment of an image originates in the real world. She photographs everything herself—people, objects, fabrics, light reflections—and then assembles these elements with the precision of an AI to create a masterpiece. Yet, unlike digital algorithms that operate based on probabilities, her work is founded on deliberate decisions, artistic intuition, and a deep mastery of image composition.
Each Portrait – A Conscious Construction, Never Left to ChanceWhile AI systems often generate images by statistically combining millions of data points, Winkhaus follows an entirely different principle: she creates every element herself and then—like an analog AI—combines, transforms, and orchestrates them until perfection is achieved. Nothing is left to chance; instead, with a sharp eye for aesthetics, contrasts, and structures, she crafts portraits that are unparalleled in depth and precision.
The Technique of Analog AI – Perfection Through ControlWinkhaus' working method is a counterpoint to the conventional use of artificial intelligence in art. While other artists allow machines to randomly generate images, she consciously controls every step. She brings light, colors, and forms into dialogue, creating digital compositions entirely built from real elements. Her portraits contain no algorithm deriving patterns from datasets—only a human artist working with her own archive of photographs, textures, and meticulously staged elements.
Beyond Reality – Yet Entirely ReaThe result is faces and figures that appear hyperreal yet were never calculated by a machine. Her portraits feel like dreams in perfect form, like beings from an alternate reality—yet they originate from an analog source. She blends her photographs with the precision of an algorithm, layering shadows, skin reflections, lighting, and compositions in a way that creates something entirely new: a visual universe that fuses the machine aesthetics of AI with the artistic depth of the analog.
A New Perspective on Art – Beyond Human or Machine. Winkhaus demonstrates that art does not have to be confined to the extremes of purely analog or purely digital. She is an artist who sees herself as an "Analog AI"—a creative system built on experience, intuition, and technical perfection. Her portraits are not the result of chance but of conscious construction, layer by layer, until they become masterpieces. In doing so, she not only redefines portrait art but also poses a fundamental question: Who needs AI when the human mind itself can be the highest form of artificial intelligence?
