An hommage and a quick thread about Roman Verostko, a true pioneer who smashed together technology and creativity to revolutionize visual and generative art 🧵⬇️

One of Verostko’s masterpieces is the “Hodos” program.

This drawing/painting software fuses randomness and structure to create one-of-a-kind algorithmic art. “Hodos” means “path” or “road” in Greek—apt for his adventurous journey.

Verostko’s early pieces toyed with the tug-of-war between control and chaos, a theme he kept exploring in his digital art. Look at “Carnival from the Pathway Series”—it’s order and randomness in a perfect dance

Picture this: Verostko rigging a Chinese brush to a pen plotter. 

This genius move brought lush, expressive strokes to life, blending mechanical precision with human emotion.

But Verostko wasn’t "just" an artist; he was a brilliant thinker. He coined “Epigenetic Painting,” seeing the computer as a boundless tool for discovery, forever stretching the boundaries of art.

He co-founded the Algorists, a group of artists who believed in the magic of custom algorithms to create unique styles. This collective was all about pushing the envelope

His work is a heady mix of math and the spiritual harmony chased by early modernists like Kandinsky and Mondrian, turning abstract structures into visual feasts

Verostko’s art marries the sharpness of digital algorithms with the soul of traditional aesthetics, resulting in works that are both technically stunning and visually enthralling.

Honoring the late Roman Verostko, a true inspiration who dared to smash the boundaries of art by merging technology with his pure creative genius. 

His legacy pulses through every vibrant, algorithmic masterpiece, constantly inspiring and transforming the generative art landscape.
