ARTCYP Art in Cyprus, and a machine that draws Ελληνικά
Study for Akamas, generative plate from seed 938320690Forty-six bands stacked from the top down, each one a closed shape lying between two sine curves of differing amplitude, frequency and phase. The bands overlap, because each advances the cursor by only 62% of its own height. About one band in six is filled in an accent at higher opacity than the rest; the stack stops early if it runs past the bottom edge.

Evidence of Standing Water, generative plate from seed 23159419Three grids of parallel lines drawn over one another and rotated about the centre: one at zero, one at a small angle between 1.2 and 7.2 degrees, and a third at a negative fraction of that angle in an accent colour. The interference figure is never drawn. It is what your eye does with three grids that do not quite agree. This plate is seed 23159419 in the Salt Lake palette. © 2026 artcyp.com
