Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) make Art? Researchers and artists are posing this question. In the last decade, the development of AI technologies has created genuine opportunities for artists, who are venturing into this world as experimenters or, perhaps, as pioneers. Like other innovations in the artistic field, the introduction of AI-related technologies is subject to a variety of criticisms and debates; among them, the legitimate doubt regarding whether an emotionless entity can make an effective contribution in a field in which the emotional sphere has a central role. In this regard, our thesis work has the objective to propose an AI system that generates paintings expressing human emotions.
