About This LoRA – Artistic & Ethical Statement

This is not deception… this is art... digital art .

This LoRA was trained with the goal of capturing and reinterpreting the visual, expressive, and emotional essence of public figures admired for their presence in film, television, or visual media. The model does not aim to replicate any specific image exactly, but rather explores learned facial patterns, styles, and emotions to generate new, idealized, and unique representations.

📸 About the Dataset

The training set consists exclusively of publicly available, official, and professional images such as:

• Promotional stills

• Event photographs (red carpets, premieres)

• Cinematic portraits

• Other publicly accessible material

These images were carefully selected based on visual quality, facial expressiveness, and aesthetic coherence. Their use falls within what many consider acceptable under "fair use" principles — specifically for non-commercial, educational, and creative purposes .

No private, sensitive, or unauthorized content is distributed or used. The process always respects the public identity of individuals, without attempting to confuse reality with artistic interpretation.

🧮 Technical Vision: Transformation, Not Reproduction

From a mathematical and functional perspective, a LoRA does not memorize or reproduce specific images. Instead, it works more like a nonlinear regression : it learns general patterns across the data and generates new representations based on those trends.

In other words: it doesn't pass through real images like an interpolation (e.g., a Lagrange polynomial) , but interprets visual tendencies and creates from them. Therefore, outputs are not copies — they are transformations guided by style, lighting, and expression .

🎭 Artistic Vision

Artificial intelligence is not a mirror reflecting reality; it's a tool that, when guided by intention, can reveal hidden beauty. I act as the creator, director, and artist: I define the dataset, choose the parameters, design the prompts, and shape a unique style.

As makeup artists say: “we discover beauty where it’s not seen.” I simply use matrices, tensors, and synthetic light instead of brushes and pigments.

⚖️ Responsible Use

This model is intended solely for:

• Artistic exploration

• Educational projects

• Responsible digital creation

It must not be used to generate illegal, false, offensive, or harmful content. I firmly support ethical, transparent, and respectful use of generative AI.

Catherine Deneuve in "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg": A Bloom of Beauty and Youth

Jacques Demy's "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (Les Parapluies de Cherbourg) is a cinematic jewel, a melancholic musical painted in vibrant hues. At its heart shines the luminous presence of Catherine Deneuve, who, at the tender age of 21, embodies the youthful innocence and burgeoning emotions of Geneviève Emery, the 16-year-old daughter of an umbrella shop owner.

What is particularly striking about Deneuve's portrayal is the freshness and ethereal quality of her beauty. Her porcelain skin, blonde hair, and delicate features perfectly capture the fragility and vulnerability of young love. Knowing that she was slightly older than the character she played only enhances the impact of her performance. There's a palpable youthful bloom that radiates from her, a sense of a young woman on the cusp of profound life experiences, both joyful and heartbreaking.

Deneuve's performance isn't just about her captivating looks. She imbues Geneviève with a sweetness and naiveté that feels entirely genuine. Her expressions, often subtle, convey the intensity of her first love with Guy and the subsequent heartbreak and difficult choices she faces. While the film is a musical with almost all dialogue sung, Deneuve's visual storytelling is just as powerful. Her eyes convey a depth of emotion that transcends the lyrics, drawing the viewer into Geneviève's inner world.

The contrast between Deneuve's actual age and Geneviève's youth further underscores the film's themes of time and change. We witness Geneviève's rapid transition from a hopeful teenager to a young woman shaped by loss and circumstance. Deneuve, on the edge of her own international stardom, captures this pivotal period with a remarkable blend of youthful idealism and emerging maturity.

"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" not only launched Catherine Deneuve onto the global stage but also immortalized a specific moment of her radiant youth. Her portrayal of the young Geneviève is a testament to her early talent, a captivating blend of beauty and genuine emotion that remains as fresh and poignant today as it was in 1964. Her presence is truly one of the film's enduring treasures.
