Through my works, I hope to inspire fellow artists and art enthusiasts to explore the world of algorithmic art, generative art, NFTs and the profound impact it can have on our understanding of 21st c. creativity.
G-NEUTRONICA
ALREADY AVAILABLE HERE
First and foremost G-Neutronica is an artistic expression within the parameters of algorithmic art. This is a poetic view, a game among abstraction, colors, light and darkness and the search for beauty. It all comes from a variety of interests, from nature, art, colors, light to physics, mathematics, science, science-fiction and the unkown outer space. Probably, it is also about the little knowledge I have of some of these concepts, especially the ones related to real science.
About similarities between large and small structures
The idea that there may be deep conections, relation and structural similarities between the very large – cosmic structures like the universe – and the very small – microscopic or subatomic structures – has intrigued scientists, philosophers, and artists for centuries. While space and the universe involve the largest known structures, and things like atoms and subatomic particles represent some of the smallest, there are several interesting ideas and theories that explore possible connections between these extremes, such as the ideas about the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).
The Cosmic Microwave Background is the radiation leftover from the Big Bang. Patterns in the CMB provide a snapshot of the early universe, showing slight fluctuations in temperature and density that would later grow into galaxies and galaxy clusters. These fluctuations are thought to have arisen from quantum fluctuations in the very early universe. This means that the large-scale structures we see today (galaxies, clusters, superclusters) may have originated from quantum processes at the smallest scales. It is not my work to be a scientist, philosopher or scholar, neither supporting one or other idea. Not necessary to mention, I am not even aiming to really understand these theories, I do not think I could, but just imagine the open subject and wide space for imagination these ideas create for a visual artist. Oh yeah!
Collectors collection
Collectors collection will feature 520 pieces from the algorithm that will be minted utilizing a long form generative process. Artworks will be generated from unique hash numbers at the time of minting. Following the system normally used on fxhash platform.
Project available here:
The visual language of G-Neutronica
The artwork displays a variety of elements, ranging from physical forces to abstract concepts I wanted to reflect upon while creating it. Rather than providing a detailed explanation of technical specifics, I will share a few key points that may help you understand the art and that I believe may be interesting to collection lovers:
The art represents a moment when the universe was so small that it was essentially about to be born. In this moment slight fluctuations in temperature and density would later grow into galaxies, galaxy clusters and all we see today, as I described above.
Gravity is the primary force depicted, and the “G” in G-Neutronica highlights its significance as both a physical and conceptual element in the artwork.
The visual elements are created using small colored spheres (neutron-dots) and wide, obtuse colored triangles. These triangles when put together, they resemble and simulate waves. These two main “brushstrokes,” if we call them that, represent fundamental concepts. The dots symbolize minuscule, foundational entities—neutrons or similar small-scale concepts that form structures. The triangles, on the other hand, suggest waves and fluctuations, representing radiation, energy and motion.
As I will explain in detail later, the color palettes are inspired by the hues observed in real nebulae. While not all colors in the artwork come from this reference, they were an important source of inspiration that served to approach the images to what we see today in the universe.
Black plays a crucial role in the artwork as it is the most prominent color in terms of its overall presence. Different shades of black are used: the background black is normally deeper than the black used for shapes and forms, although not always. There are various black objects in the artwork that have their own importance and meaning, very high importance to me. The black gravitational shapes or objects represent concepts such as dark matter, black holes, and anti-gravity forces. They represent ‘the contrary’, ‘the opposite’ and also the unknown—the aspects of the universe we still do not fully understand.
The gravitational shapes and objects in the artwork are arranged to resemble cell-like or egg-like forms. This was obviously intentional, as it adds another layer of symbolism tied to the theme of birth or the universe being about to be born.
Certain visual elements, like spirals, represent the spiral formations of galaxies—specifically the neutron-dot spirals. These spirals were significant in giving the artwork a clearer narrative, as they helped introduce the galaxy-like structure to the composition. Once I began incorporating them, I felt the images improved greatly. For me, it was essential that this depiction of the universe’s early moments retained some resemblance to the structures we observe today, but in a primitive simplified form.
There are no lights or shaders in the algorithm for two reasons. First, even though I tried them, I felt that adding lights didn’t enhance the visual quality of the drawing. Second, I thought that it made sense conceptually that, if I was depicting an initial moment in the universe, light might not yet have existed. For this same reason, I also thought that if light did not exist, then colors probably did not exist either, but I took this creative license… and stopped thinking 😉 or in the end I would come up with something totally black. Remember that this is an artistic expression not a scientific work. Sooo, to me, elements had to be self lighted in some way. In order to create areas that appear brighter, I used variations in the brightness of colors within the fill of the dots and adjusted the density of neutron-dots in those regions, with tightly packed neutron-dots creating the impression of brighter areas.
G-Neutronica palettes
Although I am not trying to construct nebular systems, I decided to use nebular colors for G-Neutronica. Nebulas are some of the most colorful and visually stunning phenomena in the universe. They can be observed in a wide range of colors due to the various gases, dust particles, and the types of radiation they emit or reflect.
Electric Blue: this vibrant blue is often seen in emission nebulae where ionized hydrogen and oxygen emit light.
Soft Pink: the pink glow is typically from hydrogen, which is a major component of many nebulae.
Bright Red: deep red is commonly produced by ionized hydrogen (HII regions) found in star-forming nebulae.
Golden Yellow: nebulae often have a golden or yellow glow due to ionized sulfur or from starlight interacting with dust.
Pale Violet: reflection nebulae scatter blue or violet light due to the presence of fine dust particles reflecting the light from nearby stars.
Turquoise: this color can be seen in planetary nebulae where doubly ionized oxygen emits turquoise light.
Brown Dust: dark nebulae can block light and often appear brown or nearly black.
Soft Green: some nebulae emit a soft green color due to a combination of oxygen and nitrogen emission lines.
Crimson Red: high-energy regions near young stars can heat hydrogen gas, resulting in a more intense, crimson red.
Midnight Blue: the darkest parts of nebulas where light is being blocked or absorbed, creating a deep, almost black-blue hue.
Orange Glow: some nebulae exhibit a soft orange glow from helium ionization near very hot stars.
Magenta: a blend of hydrogen’s red and oxygen’s blue emissions can create a magenta hue in certain regions of nebulae.
Deep Purple: darker regions in nebulae or molecular clouds often appear deep purple or black due to the absorption of light by thick dust.
Cyan: cyan can appear in reflection nebulae illuminated by very young, hot stars.

Where it all comes from. A dream of solid light –
It all came from a dream, a dream of solid light and how to represent things departing from that concept. Basic ideas at its origin come from my interest in science, physics, and the cosmos. All the crazy possibilities that scientists discover every day and all the things we will never know. Did you know that theoretically there are worlds where elements or even an electromagnetic wave, such as light, that could not be solid here, actually are in those other universes.
I believe that art is part of the universe and that the impulse and energy of art is part of everything that forms the universe. I think it is an unstoppable energy somehow associated with everything. There is art in the universe, which organizes itself beautifully, both in its order, in its chaos, and in all its powerful elements and forces.
I have always thought about what an artist from another world would be like. In any world, artists would surely first attempt to represent the nature and knowledge surrounding them. I was very curious to think about what kinds of unimaginable natures could be represented. Or what kind of knowledge could be represented. Obviously, I am not an artist from another world, so Waves of Lumina relies only on my knowledge and imagination.
Creating energy of ordered beauty and chaotic wonder through the manipulation of geometric forms –
Back to earth, also, one of my goals was to create fluid forms made of sharp angles searching for beauty through final clear forms and shapes. However, I soon found myself captivated by the intermediate images, the ones that emerged on the path to my initial aim. These intermediate images captured the essence of energy itself—the energy that takes shapes, forms, and patterns to finally become something. These images, in their transitional state, turned out to be much more powerful and interesting. Symmetry, asymmetry, continuity, and discontinuity ensure the harmony of ever-evolving shapes. Here, the cubic shapes seem to flow like water; there, they burst like fire or break like crystal. Through the different images, in one moment, you might perceive something from this nature, a landscape, a mountain, a star, a construction, something organic, something that could be alive, or simply a unclear shape. In another, something from other natures, just a changing form, something that aims to be, something that you do not get to understand completely but which is already beautiful by itself. Images in the collection reflect all these different approaches to the original ideas.
While my project do not reproduce a natural world by itself, because sometimes images may not directly mirror anything seen in our nature, but they are ruled by natural laws that give them natural like qualities. This connection arises because viewers recognize the underlying order, physics, and mathematics in them—elements that are inherently natural. Our brains immediately recognize forms when elements organize around a common purpose, sensing the universal essence within the abstract.
I am the artisan who first wrote the code and then changes something, influencing the algorithm. Yet, there is always something unknown, mysterious and unpredictable in coding art that makes it so magnetically interesting. I hope this is also reflected in my images.

BLOX
900 limited unique NFTs on Ethereum
My first generative art project was Blox which is on the Ethereum blockchain. Blox is an art algorithm developed in Java and Processing. At the heart of Blox is the idea that simple geometric shapes like lines and rectangles can come together to form breathtaking visual compositions. By allowing these shapes to freely associate and interact, Blox generates organic images that mesmerize the eye. Blox images vary significantly depending on the viewer’s distance. When observed from afar, the overall composition and patterns are strikingly different from the intricate details revealed upon closer examination, offering a completely different perspective and visual experience. With this characteristic I try to catch viewer’s time and attention and it adds a layer of depth and intrigue to the art, inviting viewers to explore and appreciate the finer nuances that emerge when observed up close.

Each piece in the Blox collection tries to be an hypnotic blend of lines and rectangles, brought to life by the algorithm’s ability to weave these simple elements into complex visual tapestries. The resulting images evoke a sense of organic fluidity, as the geometric shapes seamlessly merge and interact to create captivating visual narratives. In my opinion this unique combination of simplicity, intricacy and chaos is at the heart of Blox’s appeal.
The illusion of Blox: straight lines, rectangles, and the power of perception –
In Blox, there are no curves present within the artwork. The compositions you see are solely made of straight lines shaping thousands of overlapping rectangles. Any perceived curves within the pieces are, in fact, an illusion product of your own brain. This fascinating illusion shows the power of human perception, as our minds naturally seek to find and create familiar patterns in the art. Blox straight geometric shapes are interpreted by our brains which connect the lines and rectangles in fascinating ways.
