When Darkness Whispers AI Beauty: Meeting the Enigmatic Remquire

I’ll be honest with you. When I first stumbled upon Remquire‘s work, I had to stop scrolling.

There’s something about Christian Alonso’s art that grabs you by the soul. You know that feeling? When an image doesn’t just catch your eye—it holds it hostage. That’s Remquire.

His portfolio is staggering in its range. One moment, you’re lost in neo-naturalist landscapes that feel almost ancient. The next, you’re standing before architectural visions that defy gravity. Then suddenly, you’re transported into cinematic frames that pulse with narrative tension.

But here’s what really gets me. It’s the darkness. Not the horror-movie kind. No. Remquire’s darkness is peaceful. Melancholic, even. His color palettes whisper rather than shout. Muted earth tones blend with twilight colors. Shadows don’t threaten—they invite contemplation.

The details? Obsessive. In the best way possible.

What strikes me most is his versatility. Some AI artists find their lane and stay there. Not Christian. He moves effortlessly between contemplative stillness and gripping storytelling. Between the organic and the geometric. Between silence and drama.

Despite his obvious talent, Remquire remains discreet. Which makes the following interview even more special.

Today, we’ll talk about his artistic background, his inspirations, and he’ll share some wisdom for fellow creators.

So let me introduce you to a master working in the shadows. Someone whose work deserves way more attention.

Let’s meet Remquire.

Can you introduce yourself?
I’m Christian Alonso, from Colombia. Although I hold a Bachelor’s degree in architecture and some postgraduate studies in urban design I’ve always worked professionally in budgetary, administrative and urban and land regulation positions. AI is purely passional for me as it does not relate to work nor do I create any profit from it.

How long have you been using generative AI?
I’ve been using GenAI since 2023. A couple of months with no job and no prospects but with some savings pushed me to do something I felt passion for to fight off the anxiety.

What is your biggest source of inspiration?
I’m kind of adrift right now with this idea of looking at monsters with kindness looming around.

For me it’s all about emotion and having music around me, from there it’s a shot in the dark as long as I feel moved to explore something, anything.

Which AI tools do you use the most?
Started with MidJourney, I’m still using it. Tried a couple other tools but MJ just works for me. A couple months ago I picked up Magnific for upscaling, which I always found lacking to MJ, it’s not been as straightfoward as I thought but I’ve come to understand it better.

Any advice for those interested in getting into AI art?
I guess that you have to be able to allow yourself to struggle. What I mean: no tool gives you results with the lowest effort, even if at times the effort made is contemplation. There will come a time when a simple or a first prompt seem to give you what you wanted, if so, allow yourself to tweak around this ‘finished’ piece, if after exploring you return and still pleases you, go for it.
