Caption: Refined Reverie: As the Los Angeles sun casts its golden rays upon an enclave of serenity, the illustrious trio—Cassius the Visionary, Julian the Strategist, and Felix the Philosopher—delve into deep conversation. Wrapped in a cocoon of tranquility and adorned in the day's finest, they bask in the company of kindred spirits, savoring a collective pause as the world around them edges towards a silent finale.

"Poolside Party (2023)" is a playful series of AI-assisted artworks by Lee Wells that reincarnates the Naiades from ancient mythology into lavish 21st-century pool parties. The project began while the artist was in residency in South Crete. During this period, he endeavoured to communicate with the local goddesses through meditation, natural medicine, and various AI tools. These tools served as channelling mediums, helping him gain a deeper understanding of the realms they inhabit, as well as our own. The digital artworks serve as a new form of painting, showcasing intriguing and exquisite figures relaxing and revelling poolside at mesmerising garden house parties. Through this collaborative effort between the artist, the spirits, and AI, the overarching message conveyed is that life is fleeting. Thus, the most crucial thing is to enjoy ourselves, have fun, and strive to love as best we can in this wonderful and strange world we call home.
