Helena Sarin is a pioneering figure in the world of AI-driven art, best known for her use of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to create richly textured, dreamlike images. With a background in engineering and software development, Sarin stands at the confluence of art and technology, using machine learning not as a tool of replication, but as a deeply personal instrument of creative expression.


In OM: Mediations of the GAN, artist, Sarin explores the spiritual and introspective potential of AI art. The series is a visual meditation—blending Eastern philosophical motifs, organic forms, and algorithmic aesthetics to evoke a sense of stillness and transcendence. Each work in the series is generated using her custom-trained GAN models, based on her own drawings, collages, and watercolor studies. The result is a deeply hybridized visual language—part machine hallucination, part human intuition.


OM reflects Sarin’s unique position in the digital art world as both coder and mystic, offering a contemplative vision of the future where algorithms can become collaborators in the artistic search for meaning.
