1. What's the coolest thing you've created using AI, and why?

It is tough to pick one theme or set of Ai generated images as I experiment extensively with various styles and themes on Midjourney. However, working on Medusa and Squid girls was interesting as it all started as creating a surreal octopus with vivid colors and intricate details; then I incorporated some female fashion and portraits into it, so I got very surreal and, at the same time, very Vogue-like imagery.

2. How do you see AI art evolving and shaping the future of the art world?

I am definitely not comparing AI art to traditional art or drawing, as it requires much less skill and dedication. However, it is just another form of art. It can be much faster and generate many new ideas, even for those who do fine art and paintings. With so many AI art generators, many new opportunities and ideas can be born.

3. How do you balance your technical skills with creative intuition when making AI art?

I am usually doing many images until the result satisfies me. Most of the time, I have an idea in my head, and it's relatively easy to describe it as a prompt. I do not see a huge challenge in that, though it's not always possible to get precisely what you wanted/had in mind. I do not use ChatGPT, Photoshop, or something similar for my AI art. My primary approach is posting as they are because of generated art from prompting.

4. How do you think AI art can bring more diversity and inclusivity to the art world?

AI art can help in gaming, fashion, design, architecture industries, and many more. It could generate the initial images and ideas, and then people skilled in 3D and other media can work from those. I believe this can save some expenses and time in many industries. For those who enjoy, for example, surrealism or calligraphy, it's a great way to try out different styles, mix styles, and create something unique.

5. What challenges have you faced as a woman in the AI art field, and how have you overcome them?

I haven't faced any challenges as a female AI artist.?

6. Can you tell us about an AI art project that was particularly challenging and how you overcame the obstacles?

Usually, the most challenging thing for me is when I want to use and reflect some specific natural person in my AI imagery. For example, I wanted to create Mads Mikkelsen (a great famous actor) in a Cyberpunk game setting using AI. The challenge was using many prompt words to describe the scene. The clothing sometimes, the features/face gets distorted or does not look so natural. It took me lots of hours and changing the prompt many times and the order of prompt words until I got what I was looking for.

7. How do you think AI art can help raise awareness about important social and political issues?

It is an extensive theme, but one of the recent examples was the campaign done in collaboration with Brave Bison , WWF , and AI/CC :: Artificial Intelligence Creative Community Creative Community, “Imagine a World Without Nature,” for World Wildlife Day, March 3. Many AI artists united and made huge sets of imagery in this theme, showing the impact of pollution, destroyed forests, and what the world would be like without animals, flowers, and life itself. And that was a critical message, and I hope and I believe it was seen and heard.

8. What advice would you give young women interested in pursuing a career in AI art or related fields?

AI art is a hobby for me, at least now. However, I hope that it will evolve into much bigger things in the future. My only advice is to be true to yourself, do what you like, communicate with other AI artists or professionals in your desired industry, don’t be afraid to post your art and ideas, and be active in community life, and you will succeed.

9. How do you think AI art can help break down gender stereotypes and promote gender equality?

I think we are already going there; we are on the correct path. More and more women go to tech, programming, IT industries, and AI art and also show great results. Maybe, not so many stereotypes are left to be broken already.

10. Finally, what message would you like to send other women artists and creatives globally?

I wish all of you to blossom and express your creativity, ideas, good and bad sides, voice, message, and dreams. You are all wonderful and unique!

Conclusion

The world of generative AI art is a fascinating and constantly evolving landscape with tremendous promise for the future. However, we must prioritize diversity and inclusion to ensure that everyone has a chance to contribute to this exciting field.

By embracing and celebrating the unique perspectives and talents of women and other underrepresented groups, we can foster a more vibrant and inclusive community that empowers creators to push the boundaries of what is possible. From mentorship to networking opportunities and beyond, there are countless ways we can support and uplift women AI creators.

As we reflect on the contributions of women to the field of generative AI art, let us also look forward to a future where innovation and creativity know no bounds. By working together to create a more inclusive and collaborative community, we can unleash the full potential of AI art and unlock a world of limitless possibilities.
