Robert, born in 1951, embarked on his journey into the realm of digital art over three decades ago, armed with nothing but a trusty 386SX PC and a flickering CRT monitor. Venturing into that digital landscape, he crafted his own drawing and image processing programs using the Basic programming language. His mission? To unlock the mesmerizing potential hidden within the digital canvas, particularly in the realm of animated kaleidoscopes and seamless patterns.

Delving into public domain sites, museums, and ancient tomes, he scours for base images, which he meticulously manipulates and enhances to birth a kaleidoscopic symphony. In recent years, Robert has embraced the cutting-edge world of generative AI, collaborating with algorithms to birth new vistas of creativity.
