Going into AI helped her to create art that was both innovative and deeply personal. This move was driven by her curiosity to explore diverse aesthetics, each reflecting a unique facet of the human experience. Her artistic evolution parallels personal growth and technological advancements, marking distinct periods of creativity and exploration.

Petra's work looks into the complexities of human nature and identity. She uses AI to explore the complexity of our inner lives, often focusing on the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of the female form. Her process is quite powerful, drawing on a mix of emotions, current events, and pop culture. She aims to create art that resonates deeply with viewers, inviting them to reflect on their own inner worlds.

She likes NFTs for their innovative potential in art creation and global accessibility, supported by a community she has cultivated around her signature style. While appreciating collectors' role in sustaining her practice, she manages balancing artistic integrity with market demands in the digital art space.

Recently, Petra faced intense tweets, highlighting the debate on AI art's acceptance and exploration. She handled it, finding validation in praise and resilience in criticism, viewing both as essential for artistic growth. Her 'Babes' collection, strategically launched amid heightened attention from the argument, was meticulously planned. Its release capitalized on the moment, turning controversy into an opportunity.

As an artist working with AI, she believes AI art redefines creativity and authorship by bringing new possibilities and inclusivity. She advocates for clear legal frameworks, diverse datasets to minimize biases, and transparency in her creative process.
