A New Era of Symbolic Storytelling in AI Art
In a digital realm filled with pixels and possibility, Kateryna Hushylo (@nerdanex), based in Riga, Latvia, forges visual stories that feel more like personal revelations than static images. Whether she’s embedding eyes within roses or placing a swarm of bees around a crowned monarch, her art dissects the duality between beauty and vulnerability, strength and softness, identity and perception.
Each of her pieces—“Eyes of the Roses,” “Ethereal Harmony,” and “King of Bees”—is an emotional archetype dressed in surreal elegance. At a time when AI is often reduced to surface-level aesthetics, Kateryna uses it as a lens to reflect our deepest truths.

“I aim to highlight the intricate interplay between appearance and reality, urging a deeper understanding of our multifaceted identities.”
Petals, Bees, and Gaze: The Power of Subtle Icons
In “Eyes of the Roses,” a figure cloaked in vivid red blossoms stares back through embedded human eyes—each petal a lens, each glance a question. The roses become more than flowers. They are symbols of intrusive beauty, a commentary on the gaze and the vulnerability of being constantly seen. This piece invites us to confront how we are perceived and how we present ourselves—whether proudly or with defense.
“Ethereal Harmony” shifts the tone to surreal elegance. With pastel petals forming an ethereal mask, the subject seems suspended between organic and synthetic. The contrast between futuristic metallic textures and delicate flora evokes a soft rebellion—where fragility is not weakness, but the root of transcendence.
And in “King of Bees,” Kateryna flips the traditional power narrative. A crowned figure surrounded by bees represents leadership through nurture. The bees, though fragile, are essential—just like compassion in leadership. The result is an image that balances majesty with responsibility, reminding us that true power sustains, rather than dominates.

Kateryna’s work finds strength in its symbolism. She doesn’t just make beautiful compositions—she orchestrates metaphors. Each color, texture, and design choice serves a purpose: to evoke empathy, contemplation, and at times, confrontation.
With a foundation in photography and visual design, her transition into AI was not just a technical leap—it was a creative liberation. Her intuitive use of color, floral motifs, and body-centered compositions positions her as one of the few artists turning AI into a mirror for identity. Every piece touches a universal chord while remaining deeply personal.

The Meowtaverse Diva: A Creative Synergy with Noemí Marcillo
In one of WOW WORLD’s standout collaborations, Kateryna joins forces with Noemí Marcillo (@noem4rt), an Ecuadorian-born UK-based artist, to create “Meowtaverse Diva.” This surreal yet fiercely human portrayal of a catwoman blends retro and futuristic aesthetics, showcasing an empowered symbol of identity exploration.
This piece celebrates fluidity, contradiction, and acceptance. From feline grace to bold retro hues, every detail was designed to challenge the notion of a fixed identity. The result is a tapestry of evolving emotions—where human, digital, and mythic elements exist in harmony.
More than a collaboration, it’s a statement: that femininity, identity, and technology are not separate languages—but parts of the same voice.
