Gizem Akdag works with artificial intelligence, but her focus is not technology; it’s imagery. Trained in architecture and visual design, she uses AI as a production tool to build scenes that feel spatial, intentional, and controlled. Recently, flowers have become a recurring element in her work. In this article, she shows you how she has implemented flowers in her floral art and why they make everything better.
Gizem Akdag – Using Flowers in Unexpected Ways Through AI Techniques
In Akdag’s latest images, flowers appear oversized, exaggerated, and often placed where they don’t belong. They are comprised within architectural spaces, stretch across landscapes, or interrupt otherwise clean compositions. The point of her work is to create contrast and delight soft forms against hard surfaces. As one of her main goals, she aims to display organic shapes inside digital environments and show growth where it’s not expected. All in all, show how flowers can bloom any and every day, even in the world of AI.
The flowers don’t represent specific varieties; they come from her head and what she wants to portray. Sometimes they look familiar, sometimes not. That ambiguity gives her freedom to play with scale, texture, and color without being tied to reality.
A Controlled Use of AI
The artist doesn’t rely on one-click results. She builds images through repeated testing, adjustment, and selection. AI generates options, and she decides what stays. Composition, balance, and mood are always deliberate in what she creates. One plus for her is her architectural background, which shows in how scenes are framed. If you look closely, flowers are placed with freedom to guide the eye, break symmetry, or introduce tension.
What makes her recent work compelling is how flowers are built into the scenes from the beginning. They exist within the same logic as the architecture, the light, and the digital space itself. In Akdag’s work, petals, stems, and foliage are placed naturally alongside futuristic forms and abstract environments. The compositions feel balanced because everything follows the same visual rules. The organic and the artificial develop together.
Nonetheless, the presence of flowers gives these digital spaces life. The result is digital masterpieces that give a look and feel of contemporary and visually calm, even when the setting is entirely imagined.
To see how her ideas unfold in real time, Gizem's Instagram account is where everything comes together. It works almost like a living archive, showing how her visual language evolves from post to post. Scrolling through it reveals patterns, obsessions, and shifts in mood, with flowers appearing again and again as a quiet constant. It’s the clearest way to understand her work!
