Artist Statement:
My compositions are instances
of algorithmic art, namely art
produced by algorithms. An
algorithm is a set of
unambiguous rules applied to
some data to produce a result.
The algorithmic artist does
not create a work directly,
but rather devises an
algorithm which will yield a
work. My algorithms are
executed on a computer, which
performs computations and
logical operations to produce
a digital image.
The resulting compositions are
purely abstract. Accordingly,
they do not carry any title; a
mere number is assigned to
each of them for convenience.
Yet, they display ubiquous
fractal structures which have
numerous analogs in Nature.
The bark of a trunk, a rocky
cliff, the surface of a planet
display everywhere details on
a large scale range, what
makes their visual richness
and beauty. I am striving to
reproduce this characteristic
in the purely abstract context
of my works.
To this end, most of my
compositions are constructed
on the idea of "pattern
piling". Copies of a simple
pattern are created at various
size scales and are merged
together. This technique
allows to produce images so
complex that they could never
have been imagined, let alone
realized, by a bare human
mind. Each of them ...
