The Carolina Delgado Interview

A conversation with AI Artist Carolina Delgado, aka @carolletta on X

INTERVIEW CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 10, 2025

ALL IMAGES BY CAROLINA DELGADO ARE GENERATED USING MIDJOURNEY, ADOBE FIREFLY AND GROK UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE

Today, we’re honored to introduce the fantastic work of Carolina Delgado, known on X as @carolletta.

Based in London, Carolina is a visionary Visual/AI Artist whose works shimmer with elegance, intellect, and emotion. A featured artist in Midjourney Magazine Issue 21 and a finalist in Beeple Studios’ Digital Art Deadmatch, she continues to leave her mark on the evolving AI art world. Her style is instantly recognizable: a fusion of classical poise and futuristic flair, where timeless grace meets cutting-edge technology.

Carolina’s body of work revolves around two central series: her New Renaissance series, which depicts statuesque women adorned with delicate circuits and cybernetic fragments—stunning modern reliquaries—and the evocative Nike series, where the winged goddess of victory becomes a poetic figure of yearning, strength, and tragic love. Often bound or blindfolded, Nike is reimagined as a symbol of beauty in restraint, as if love itself were a battlefield.

Her women—angelic or augmented—radiate confidence and sorrow, poise and power. Carolina explores beauty not as perfection but as presence: serene, commanding, and deeply feminine. Whether she’s creating cybernetic busts, android goddesses in gleaming power suits, or fashion-forward avatars in VR goggles, there’s always a quiet reverence to the figures she builds. It’s not just visual—her work feels composed, intentional, and steeped in art historical knowledge.

A lover of art, design, and architecture, Carolina regularly travels to museums around the world and is an avid reader. She shares this curiosity through well-written Medium articles exploring AI art, techniques, and philosophical questions around originality and hybrid aesthetics. True to her collaborative spirit, she also frequently runs theme-based challenges on X, crafting beautiful posters of her favorite entries, infused with strong visual identity and typography—curation as creation.

In Carolina’s world, elegance holds a charge, and beauty—whether veiled, winged, or wired—always carries a quiet power. It’s an honor to feature her in this interview.

Let’s discover Carolina Delgado together.

(And all-time favorite of carolletta, and revelinai)

Without getting too personal, can you tell us a bit about yourself?

I am a UX/UI Designer and Visual/AI Artist. I studied cinema and photography at the university and trained in Fine Arts for many years. Although I am a Designer for a living, I am an Artist at heart.

Could you please tell us which country you live in?

I live in London, but I am Argentine, Spanish, and now British.

What led you to begin working with AI imagery?

I started to get into AI Art when the first DALL-E was out, then I found Midjourney, and I couldn't stop.

What AI tools do you use?

Principally Midjourney, although I also use Adobe Firefly, Grok, and some of the video ones like Nim, Runway, Kling, Hailuo, and Luma Dream Machine.

What inspires you?

Art, Design, and Architecture inspire me. I have an inquisitive mind, and I love to visit Art museums around the world and read loads of books.

In which other medium, if any, do you practice art?

I do many drawings in Pitt Brush Pens, Watercolours and Ink, Gauche, Pastels and Charcoal, and also some paintings in oils and acrylics. I also tried mixed media techniques.

Would you consider AI-generated art true art?

Sure, why not? I think the Art you create is in the artist's mind; the AI-generation part is just a tool.

Please share one or a few of your favorite images with us.

Here are some of my favorite images.

I want to first show some of the New Renaissance series, which is the most important series for me. The first five are my favorites from this series. I’m also adding some Renaissance-inspired cyborgs, which were accepted in Beeple Studios "Digital Art Deathmatch."

Then, I want to show some from the second important thing I did, which is the Nike series, where Nike longs for her lover. She is feeling trapped, yet she can free herself at any time, but not without the risk of losing him. She is also feeling blinded by love.

Finally, I’m also showing three of my favorite Angels.

NEW RENAISSANCE

Expressed Tenderness - New Renaissance series

The New Renaissance series

Behold the 'New Renaissance' collection, where the sacred dance of human spirit intertwines with the mechanical heartbeat of the machine, each cyborg figure a testament to the journey through soul and circuit. This collection reimagines the Renaissance's celebration of humanism through science, philosophy, and the arts, now infused with a renewed quest for the sacred and spiritual through human connections and the connection to the divinity. Just as the Renaissance thinkers sought to understand and elevate the human condition, 'New Renaissance' delves into what it means to be human, using cyborg imagery to explore our deep-seated need for connection, not only with each other but with the divine in an increasingly technological world. It's a modern odyssey, a reawakening that seeks to bridge the gap between the mundane of machinery and the eternal in our souls, inviting viewers to contemplate the sacred within the synthetic, and the human amidst the digital.

Renaissance-Inspired Cyborgs

Seeing the world through augmented senses, perceiving hidden patterns and harmonies invisible to the naked eye. Beauty lies not just in aesthetics, but in the hidden structures and rhythms of the universe.

These pieces were accepted in Beeple Studios "Digital Art Deathmatch."

ANGELS

Do you title your AI-generated art? If you do, what inspires you to come up with these titles?

I title some artwork, especially the ones that have a story behind them, those are very easy to title, as I have an imaginary world behind.

When do you tend to be the most productive, and do you work in long sessions or short bursts?

I tend to be more productive when the ideas are fresh in my mind, especially in the morning, but it could be any time for a brief creative session. I tend to push concepts to the limits, so normally I do long sessions, but sometimes something flows easily in a short session.

Cyborg

What type of prompts do you prefer: text or AI-generated descriptions through fed images?

I normally write my own prompts, but sometimes I have an idea of what I want and I ask Grok to write some prompts for me, with my direction, of course, then I amend the prompts as needed.

When prompting with text, do you write simple text-based prompts or complex ones?

I normally write complex ones, as I am trying to capture things that I've seen or are in my mind's eye. I usually add a lot of details on the clothing, the scenery, and the action.

Do you think text-based prompts should be shared within the AI art community?

Sure, this is what my X Account is about. I am sharing my prompts so people can learn.

What is the most unconventional method you have used to create an image?

My unconventional way of creating images is to mix styles in a more controlled way, so the output cannot be reproduced that easily, and this way, I create more unique images. I wrote some articles on this in my Medium account, which you can find links to on my X Account.

How many images have you generated using AI technology?

Not many, something like 8,000 images in Midjourney + Grok and Firefly.

How many X accounts do you currently follow?

Dreaming of Rain in the Garden of Eden

Is there any other online platform where we can view all of your previous work apart from X?

I have a few things on Behance.

In this world of cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), are you currently selling your digital art on any platform? If so, which platform are you using?

I am selling on OpenSea and Rarible.

Are you selling tangible AI-generated artwork, such as high-quality prints like Giclée prints?

No, I am not, although I would like to sell some artwork.

Could you suggest some AI artists you like that we could follow?

Is there anything else you would like to add or share with the AI community?

Keep making great AI Art!
