Pikazo App Transforms Mona Lisa into 100 Artistic Styles

digital · 2026-05-05

A new mobile app called Pikazo uses neural algorithms to transform any image into the style of any artwork, demonstrated by reimagining Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa in 100 different styles including cubist, impressionist, and futurist. Developed with the same neural network technology used by Google's Deep Dream and the popular Prisma app, Pikazo goes further by allowing universal style transfer. The app's creators describe it as a collaboration between human, machine, and art, producing beautiful, surprising, or unsettling results. Pikazo is free for basic use on Android and iPhone, with paid additional styles and features. The promotional video showcases the Mona Lisa as the ideal test subject for demonstrating the app's capabilities.
