Timea Paál

Timea Paál is a Hungarian multidisciplinary artist based in Romania, working under the name The Artifictional. With a background in architecture, graphic design, and visual communication, her practice centers on generative AI and promptography as methods of visual inquiry rather than spectacle. Her work examines how perception misfires, how memory distorts, and how inner experience shapes what we see. She sees AI as an unparalleled medium for deeply personal self-discovery, wandering the inner architecture of thought and emotion through a tool that is both alien and strangely human. She currently serves as visual lead and character designer at a US-based production company, building cohesive visual languages for narrative projects.
