After the launch of AI tools like Dalle-2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, we were all hearing different news about AI tools. That AI will take over our jobs. In between rushes, I was seeing some artists that were creating some great kinds of art. And you will feel surprised after checking their Instagram. So I have prepared a list of some Indian specific artists who are making some great kinds of art. And when I was researching, the one pattern that I recognized was that all these artists were coming from the worlds of art, photography, and design.

Prateek Arora

Prateek Arora is among my favorite artists from the list. Prateek is known for his bold sci-fi stories. Prateek Arora has created Indian sci-fi characters through the power of AI. His mission was to re-examine Indian sci-fi cinema. So he used AI and his perception, and now he has created his own kind of art.

The series that I liked were “Granth Gothica: Family Album” “Resanauts,”” and “The Progression of Samsara, a Supercomputer, Through its Bloom Stages.”.
