My problem with AIArt is that it feels a bit too lifeless/dull, but imagination is imagination; it is way harder to form by oneself..

"A Tiger Entered the Orchard....," Maria Prymachenko, 1994.

The full title of this work is "A Tiger Entered the Orchard and is Delighted That the Apple Trees Are Plentiful, There is an Abundance of Apples."

Prymachenko (1909-1997) was a self-taught Ukrainian artist who rose to prominence as a beloved figure in the Ukrainian art world. In 1966 she won the Schevchenko National Prize, UNESCO declared 2009 was her year, and both a street in Kyiv and a minor planet are named for her. Her work graces a series of Ukrainian stamps. Picasso hailed her as a genius.

Her work relies heavily on Ukrainian and Polesian folk traditions and fairy tales, so it may not always make a lot of sense to us Westerners. Still, the vibrant colors and sheer joy in her work is a pleasure to behold.

Sadly, some of her works were destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and much is still endangered due to the conflict.

Slava Ukraini!
