Maya Artwork

Introducing "Maya", a mixed-media portrait of a stunning figure captured in a state of movement—except she doesn't exist, at least not in the traditional sense of existence. Created as a photorealistic image by AI, she evolved into a traditional painting with a digital aesthetic, taking on a new form and stylistic expression that echoes humans' interpretation of a digital being. Maya may not be a real person in our world; however, she exists in the dreams and reality of AI. "Maya" (माया), derived from Sanskrit, translates to "illusion" or "magic." In Hindu philosophy, it symbolizes the material world as an illusion, concealing a deeper reality. This artwork aims to unravel the complexities of Maya, prompting viewers to contemplate the blurred boundaries that define our understanding of existential differences between human and artificial realities.
