Randomness acts as a creative partner, not a disruption. By weaving unpredictability into my code, I uncover patterns and behaviors that feel organic and surprising. This tension between control and chaos fuels my process and keeps each piece open to discovery.
ARTIST BIO
Angelika Grzegorczyk is a digital artist specializing in generative art, based in Poznań, Poland. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Intermedia Arts from the University of the Arts in Poznań. By day, she works as a QA Tester, while her creative practice explores the intersection of geometry, vibrant color palettes and algorithmic aesthetics. Her works often incorporate visual glitches and digital imperfections, embracing them as intentional elements of artistic expression.

My animations explore the interplay of geometric precision and digital chaos. I mainly use vivid colors, flowing forms and intentional visual glitches to create dynamic compositions that challenge aesthetic norms. Each piece is a study in algorithmic aesthetics where code becomes canvas and error becomes expression.
What Is one belief, insight, or idea that guides your creative process?
Randomness acts as a creative partner, not a disruption. By weaving unpredictability into my code, I uncover patterns and behaviors that feel organic and surprising. This tension between control and chaos fuels my process and keeps each piece open to discovery.
Can you tell us how you discovered Mixed art and what drew you into it?
I stumbled into generative art while experimenting with code as a visual tool. It gave me a new way to express myself – less about control, more about curiosity and letting the code surprise me.
What do you think defines your style or creative approach, and how did you arrive at that identity?
My style blends clean geometry with controlled chaos – glitches, randomness and motion. I’m drawn to vivid colors and bold contrasts, using them to amplify energy and emotion. Each piece dances between precision and unpredictability.
How does a project usually begin for you? Do you have a creative ritual or structure you follow?
Projects often start with music, it sets the mood and sparks visual ideas. I let rhythm guide the vibe, then dive into code to experiment. Usually there’s no strict plan, just playful exploration until something clicks and the visuals start to feel alive.
What tools or technologies do you use most, and how do they influence your visual language?
I mostly use p5.js as it’s intuitive and playful, perfect for quick experiments. With a fine arts background and a day job as a QA tester in tech, I blend visual intuition with analytical thinking to create work that’s both expressive and precise.
Do you feel there Is a strong generative art scene? What would you like to see evolve in it
The global generative art scene is expanding rapidly, with vibrant communities sharing ideas and work. I’d love to see that energy grow even more in my country Poland with more local voices, events and spaces to connect code-based art with broader audiences.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start creating generative art but doesn’t know where to begin?
Just start playing with e.g. p5.js. Watch tutorials, learn to code but don’t stress about perfection. It’s more about exploration and curiosity than control. Let the process surprise you! 🙂
