5. Neural Networks and Style Transfer – How AI Mimics Famous Art Styles

One of the fascinating applications of AI image generation is style transfer, where neural networks learn to mimic the style of famous artists, traditional painting techniques, or modern digital art.

The process works as follows:

• The AI is trained on thousands of paintings from specific art movements (e.g., Impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism).
• It extracts key stylistic elements such as brush strokes, color palettes, and composition.
• Users can input any image, and the AI applies the chosen style while preserving the original subject.

This technique is widely used in applications like Prisma, DeepArt, and Deep Dream Generator, allowing users to transform ordinary images into AI-generated masterpieces.
