Do colors have the power to fascinate you?
Does the painting below by Vincent van Gogh appeal to you for its colors? What if we could free them from their form to capture their essence?
Chromagenesis, a process I invented, recomposes the colors of masterpieces to reveal their chromatic soul.
Capturing the Colored Soul of a Painting
I transform digital reproductions of artworks by reorganizing their colors based on hue, brightness, and saturation. Each image retains the same pixels as the original, but its composition shifts, offering a fresh perspective.
This process lies at the crossroads of generative art, traditional art, and technology.
Processes
How should the pixels of a painting be organized? Which properties should be used? I have developed unique protocols, blending precise adjustments with manual interventions to surprise or enchant.

Follow the latest chromageneses, other related creations such as the virtual exhibition COLOR SHIFTS of the COLOR IMPACT 2025, for which three Chromageneses were selected. You can see some selected videos here (mine is the third one) and the jury selection there, where my work has also been mentioned (at about time 4′).
Come and visit the announced exhibitions where you will see fine art prints that bring these digital works to life, like those showcased at PAE 2024. Don’t miss my new videos on my YouTube channel.
