I'm an artist working between code and painting. The studio is still built around generative systems — but the practice now also includes works made by hand.

Each digital piece begins with a system, not a sketch — a set of rules I design and then watch unfold. There's no final brushstroke, only iteration: I tune parameters, let randomness in, and see what emerges.

The work lives in that space between intention and accident.

By hand, the process reverses. A line, a limited set of marks, no loop to run again. Some of these pieces remain studies. Others become physical versions of a digital work, or the seed of a later series.

My collections each chase a different question — rhythm, repetition, organic texture, the logic of natural patterns like water and erosion.

Code is still a medium, not just a tool. Painting is the other one.
