AI Conceptual Artist | Rotarian | Recognised among the ‘115 Best Digital Artists of Our Generation’
Mia Fendi operates at the intersection of memory, machine, and imagination—where centuries of artistic mastery are reinterpreted through artificial intelligence. Her work is not imitation, but transformation: a new visual language born from reverence and bold vision.
Her breakthrough began with a single question: What if Picasso painted Los Angeles? That idea sparked a transhistorical journey, reimagining cities through the eyes of 25 grand masters across 544 years of art history.
Fendi’s debut solo exhibition unfolded beneath the vaulted ceilings of a 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site—marking a world-first AI art event of historic significance. Her work has since been shown globally: from New York’s Oculus and The Holy Art Gallery in London, to Paris, Miami Art Week, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Vienna, and Dubai. Her exhibitions draw crowds not only for their visual impact, but for their cultural weight and visionary scope.
Her upcoming NFT auction—created as a landmark cultural gesture—is being considered by Christie’s, with proceeds supporting UNICEF. She has been invited to contribute to Davos 2026 and was recently nominated for the Ig Nobel Prize for her innovative reimagining of visual legacy.
Named among the “115 Best Digital Artists of Our Generation,” Fendi’s practice has earned praise from curators at Sotheby’s and institutional partners across art, tech, and diplomacy. With a professional background in banking, diplomacy, and strategic management (MBA), and as a dedicated Rotarian, she brings rare discipline and purpose to the world of conceptual digital art.
ART REVIEWS:
Truly honoured to be reimagined through the lens of AI conceptual artist Mia Fendi—recently featured at New York’s iconic Oculus (and in the metaverse), and celebrated as “one of the defining digital artists of our generation.” The personalised, AI-generated art, shaped from my own photography, represents more than aesthetic innovation; it marks a new chapter in the unfolding dialogue between technology and human expression. What moves me most is the deeper message embedded in the images: that in the hands of a thoughtful creator, AI becomes more than a tool: it becomes a mirror. It has the potential to reveal hidden layers of our humanity and invite a deeper introspection about who we are and what we might become…

From Sotheby’s:
“Golden Reckoning: Nadja Skaljic as the Modern Goddess of Climate Justice” A Gustav Klimt Reverie Reimagined by Mia Fendi
“At the heart of this work stands Nadja Skaljic—serene yet resolute. Her presence radiates the calm assurance of someone who has already brought her visions to life, her gaze hints at new frontiers still forming in her mind. Set within a dreamlike landscape, the piece unfolds with symbols of a rebalanced world. Wind turbines rise like sculptural sentinels of sustainable energy, while a golden sun beams the enduring promise of solar power—eternal, inexhaustible. Rolling green fields evoke a planet in balance: fertile, thriving, and whole. Her cloak—part garment, part cosmos—is adorned with motifs of regeneration, digital currencies, and ecological symbiosis. The details whisper of a new mythology, where technology and nature are no longer at odds but collaborate as co-authors of a luminous future.“

“Nadja: Eternal Muse of Inner Sovereignty” An Amedeo Modigliani Invocation Reimagined by Mia Fendi
“In this arresting homage, Mia Fendi channels the ghostly elegance of Modigliani through the lens of AI serving as both mirror and muse. The portrait of Nadja Skaljic emerges as a figure both ancient and ultra-modern—elongated, introspective, and imbued with a haunting serenity. True to Modigliani’s legacy, the composition transcends mere likeness. The almond-shaped eyes become portals, enigmatic and ungraspable. They meet the viewer's gaze and also eclipse it, inviting contemplation. Here, ambiguity becomes a form of intimacy. Nadja’s figure is not observed so much as sensed—grace distilled into line and shadow.
Fendi’s reinterpretation gently weaves a new iconography of female autonomy. Nadja is not simply a subject; she is an archetype, a symbol of inner sovereignty in a world rushing toward artificial certainty. Executed with digital finesse yet deeply human in tone, the piece resists the spectacle of hyper-reality. In an era saturated with synthetic perfection, its restraint is refreshing. This work is more than portraiture—it is a meditation.”
