Elena Lytvynova, a Kyiv-based digital artist with a background in law, treats AI less as a shortcut than as what she calls a new medium in its own right, one that expands what visual storytelling can do rather than replacing the storyteller. Her work, exhibited internationally including at Cluster Photography London, merges human forms with surreal and abstract elements built around the idea that form itself is fluid, shaped as much by nature and technology as by the artist.

Her legal training shows up less in the images than in how she talks about the field around them: she has become a reference point on questions of intellectual property and authorship in AI-generated work, arguing that interdisciplinary knowledge, not just technical fluency, is what actually separates a lasting AI-art practice from a novelty account. The unpredictability of the tools themselves is part of the discipline, in her account, requiring multiple regenerations and careful prompt refinement before an image earns its place in a finished series.

She expects the medium to keep moving past static images entirely, toward work that's immersive and interactive, built around movement, sound and real-time generation rather than a single frozen output.
