Roman Lipski is a Berlin-based contemporary artist exploring the frontier between art, science, and emerging technologies. Known for his transition from poetic landscape painting to digital abstraction, Lipski has become a pioneer in the field of AI and quantum art.

Since 2016, he has collaborated with scientists, developers, and research institutions to develop creative tools that challenge and expand traditional artistic processes. His collaboration with Florian Dohmann led to the creation of the Artificial Muse, one of the first AI-driven systems designed to support and inspire artistic decision-making. Later, together with physicists from IBM Research, he co-developed Quantum Blur, a technique that applies principles of quantum computing—such as superposition and entanglement—to image manipulation, resulting in entirely new visual aesthetics.

Lipski’s most recent project, Quantum Brush, was co-developed with Moth Quantum and researchers from DESY. The open-source painting tool allows artists to interact with quantum algorithms in real time, translating artistic gestures into quantum processes. The tool is compatible with today’s noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices and has been tested on IQM’s Sirius quantum computer.

His works—ranging from large-scale prints and paintings to immersive video installations and handwoven quantum carpets—have been exhibited internationally and are part of numerous important collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Elgiz Museum, Istanbul; Art Foundation Mallorca; Colby Museum, Waterville, Maine; Sammlung Marx; SOR Rusche Sammlung; Zachęta Contemporary Art Collection, Szczecin; Julia Stoschek Foundation; and the Alex Katz Foundation, New York.

Exhibition venues include the Julia Stoschek Foundation (Berlin), Microscope Gallery (New York), the National Museum in Szczecin, ERES Foundation (Munich), and the Swatch Art Peace Hotel (Shanghai), among others.

Roman Lipski’s work opens new pathways for contemporary art, positioning the artist as both a creator and collaborator in shaping the cultural dimensions of next-generation technologies.
