At the beginning of the 20th century, female miners, facing adversity, shaped resilient lives in an emerging industrial context. At the same time, the world of opera shone with its ability to move and inspire through the sublime expressions of its stars. The portraits, whether real or AI-generated, offer a gateway between tangible reality and artistic expression, capturing the essence of the lives of female miners and opera stars, and inviting a dialogue with the past.
