For human perception, this portrait is filled with mystery. It shows the oldest scholar of the planet in the image of either Biblical Augur, or even Mephistopheles. Proving the duality of the world, the face on the portrait is changing depending on the view angle. According to the power of the impact on spectators, this portrait can be compared with the famous self-portraits of eminent artists from the Renaissance.
Ukrainian News Agency Ukrinform held a pre-auction display of the world's first photo portrait made by Artificial Intelligence on November 26, 2019.
The idea of creating a peculiar composition belonged to the American photographer Sergey Melnikoff, a.k.a. MFF. The board of trustees of his The Soul of Ukraine Foundation is headed by Borys Paton.
For the implementation of this project, Sergey Melnikoff has been awarded the Order of St. Volodymyr Equal-to-the-Apostles by the Patriarch Filaret.
