Yes they probably can be trademarked.

But a big question is why? Trademarks are very expensive.

It makes sense for a company logo that was AI generated, but spending 100K+ for very limited protection of a piece of art seems questionable.

Trademarks are actually much cheaper than that, I paid a few thousand dollars for mine. The price range your quoting is more typical of patents

You can lose your trademark if you do not actively enforce violations. Hence, the full cost of a trademark should include its legal maintenance.

Was it international? And in how many categories?

It adds up very quickly.
