"Sevilla" shows some of the most appealing parts of historical Seville. Discovering its beauty of Moorish, Roman, Gothic, Neo-Classical or Renaissance as well as modern architecture with orange trees, palms and flamenco dancers on its streets, was one of the greatest aesthetic experience of my life. I started with the stylish "Edificio La Adriática", surrounded by Alcázar Palace, La Giralda, Plaza de Espana, Puerta de la Macarena, Calle de Arfe, Torre del Oro, Puente de Isabel, Velázquez, Alameda de Hercules, Colón, Semana Santa...
I work as a computer programmer with background in psychology (clinical + psychometrics) and economics (public + transition economics, industrial organization). I won international prizes in chess composition, programming, newspaper's literature contest, and published interviews and articles.
In 2016, I presented Personality Model explaining psychosis (my MA in psychology, 1998), and Maximization of Uniqueness redefining utility in economics to explain irrationality (my Phd thesis in economics, 1999) at conferences in Greece, Korea, Australia, Switzerland.
Impressed by journals of art historian with whom I shared a flat in 2000, I was contemplating works of Dalí, Ernst, Duchamp, Arcimboldo, Picasso, Magritte, Warhol, Monet, Chirico, Degas, Bosh, Gogh, Hokusai, Velázquez, Duchamp, da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rothko, Munch, Mucha, Gauguin, Kandinsky, Matisse, Cézanne...
I realized that history of visual art is interpretable via chess composition with its exact definitions of the genre (direct / self / help... mates, studies, fairy...) and evolutionary logic (e.g. direct mates and studies - the most similar to chess, occurred logically prior to other genres). Invention of a new-strategy by Italian composers, reminds the origin of the modern art (Mannerism): a deviation from the imitated
reality.
I apply the new-strategy to digital arts, utilizing the logical series of intelligence tests.
