Where the ideas come from
Every piece starts from a painting or print that is in the public domain because its artist died more than 70 years ago (and it was published long before 1929): Hokusai, Hiroshige, Van Gogh, Monet, Seurat, Turner, Vermeer, Bruegel, Friedrich, Böcklin, Whistler, Klimt, Mucha and Leonardo. We name the original on each artwork page.
How each remake is made
We write a detailed description of the original's composition and mood and the new style we want (for example "Hokusai's wave in gold leaf on black lacquer"), generate several versions with an AI image model, and keep only the best. We never copy a photograph of the original; the result is a new image that borrows the composition and spirit.
Each image is rendered in 16:9, then upscaled to 3840×2160 for 4K screens and lightly sharpened. Phone, tablet, desktop and ultrawide versions are cut from it in your browser, with a crop you can move.
The licence
You can download and use any GildPix image for free, for personal use: on your TV, computer, phone or tablet, as a screensaver, or as a print for your own home. Please don't sell the images, print them on products for sale, bundle them into wallpaper apps or packs, or claim them as your own. For business, print or other uses, contact us.
