A New Era of Hyperreal Imagination
In an age where synthetic visuals often feel disposable, Cynthia Mauruschat stops us in our tracks. Her characters gaze back—not as digital avatars, but as sentient enigmas. In Issue #1 of WOW WORLD Magazine, Cynthia’s work invites viewers into a deeper interrogation of presence and perception: Do I see you because you exist, or do you exist because I see you?
Based in Berlin and known as @futureella_ai, Cynthia’s pieces blend eerie beauty with unnerving clarity. Her creations don’t just straddle the line between fantasy and realism—they obliterate it. With cabbage leaves transformed into skin, or cloudlike creatures built from concrete textures, her AI-born characters blur the boundary between the tangible and the imagined. Cynthia doesn’t just use AI—she battles it, bends it, and breathes her fears and fascinations into its output.
“It is a constant search for the perfect balance between control and randomness, between planning and intuition. This dynamic keeps my creativity alive.”
The Art of Not Letting Go: Wrestling with the Unknown in AI
At the heart of Cynthia’s creative practice is a profound paradox: she strives for hyperrealism in characters she knows can never be real. “I want the viewer to believe they could exist,” she explains, “even if they don’t.”
This friction—between the known and the unknowable—drives her artistry. AI tools like MidJourney offer her a surreal playground, but also pose a maddening creative dilemma: she cannot fully control what she births. Sometimes, the results leave her speechless. Sometimes, they leave her in despair. But in either case, Cynthia doesn’t look away—she pushes forward.
Her process is highly photorealistic, with characters so refined that their fabricated nature becomes emotionally confusing. You recognize their fiction, yet feel their truth. Each piece is a portal where emotion meets illusion, inviting the viewer to confront what it means to feel something for something unreal.

Cynthia Mauruschat – The Creator of Uncanny Souls
From the vibrant chaos of Berlin, Cynthia draws daily inspiration from the city’s unpredictable textures, faces, and contradictions. Like the city itself—simultaneously beautiful, unsettling, and full of secrets—her characters echo the urban duality. She describes them as confident, fragile, sometimes seductive, sometimes grotesque.
Her ability to extract creatures from surfaces and shadows is uncanny. Whether pulling characters from rusted textures or morphing snakeskin into a woman’s face, her work is guided by a deep respect for contradiction.
Her AI-generated beings are not caricatures or abstract figments. They are emotionally loaded portraits that dare you to believe in their sentience. Cynthia doesn’t just craft characters—she manifests existential dilemmas in 8K.

When Technology Becomes Soulful
What makes Cynthia’s work stand out in the AI Creative Community is not just the sharp realism—it’s her emotional honesty. She doesn’t romanticize AI. She sees it for what it is: a co-creator, a chaos machine, a muse, and a mirror. The deeper her emotional intent, the more surprising the results.
Whether it’s a reptile-skinned angel or a hauntingly expressive AI muse, Cynthia’s process becomes a collaboration with the unknown. AI offers the raw noise; she finds the music in it.
In her own words, the most beloved pieces are the ones where AI refuses to obey, forcing her to surrender, adapt, and eventually see something entirely unexpected emerge—a co-creation between human spirit and machine logic.
