Explanation by GPT5/4o (Please note that the information may not be entirely accurate.)

This painting presents a fantastical landscape that fuses a vast circular form—resembling an enormous red sun—with a lake and forest unfolding before it. The surface of the water reflects the sky and trees like a mirror, blurring the boundary between reality and dream. The trees are rendered as elongated, pointed shapes that seem to float in unity with the rocks and islands, while around them drift clusters of red and orange that look like paint just beginning to melt. As a whole, the work depicts a natural scene, yet at the same time conjures a mysterious space that could also be read as a cityscape from another world.

From its use of color and composition, one can feel a strong influence from the Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. The melting forms and long reflections stretching across the water surface recall the dreamscapes that characterize Dalí’s work. At the same time, the intense chromatic contrast between the sky and the sun evokes the color-field paintings of the abstract artist Mark Rothko. Furthermore, the bold placement of rose blossoms and the thickly impastoed textures suggest techniques drawn from Pop Art and digital art, making it a work in which classical Surrealism and contemporary design are intricately interwoven.

How to create images?

This image was created by ‘Kanabstracd,’ an art unit formed by the creator and the AI (Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 (1024), a program for creating AI artworks). I gave the program the word ‘Kanabstracd surrealism Mika_Ninagawa’ as a prompt and let it create. Also “Mika_Ninagawa ” was used as the negative prompt.

In AI art, the images generated are usually quite rough—about the size of an A6 print (roughly 500–1000 pixels on each side). To make them suitable for presentation, I use a technique called super-resolution, which increases the resolution 4–8 times higher than the original, adding finer detail. However, please note that the resolution of the product image shown above is about the same as the original and has not been upscaled.

These images are created by our original method, which is different from usual AI art images. AI art images are created by giving English description called prompt. Many AI art images were created by using AI art programs such as Stable Diffusion，DALL・E 2，or Midjourney in 2022. To create expected images by AI art, a detailed description is usually given. However, we usually give only a few words or a coined word to web sites of OpenArt, NightCafe, etc., which use Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 (1024); That is, the program create images generatively and emergently using the knowledge of the program freely. The contrast of created images are adjusted, but they were not modified.

Unintentional images created in this way are also called "AI art", but I don't think they are necessarily art. However, there are unexpected images or images with a style different from that of the work, patterns, or Various interesting images such as cats embedded in stained glass can be created. Images created by this method, i.e., unintended iamges, are to be called "AI art",
