​​

Artist formed first by childhood art pedagogy (les arts plastiques), then by electronics, then by five decades of image systems, culminating in early generative authorship.​​

​

RIKXECOM is a contemporary visual artist whose practice spans photography, abstraction, material experimentation, and digital transformation. Within the evolving history of electronic, he occupies a distinctive position as both an early generative art pioneer and an artistic AI futurist. His work is defined not simply by the adoption of emerging tools, but by the integration of those tools into a broader artistic language rooted in light, perception, and the transformation of image into consciousness.

​Algorithmic Curation​

​

Curated 47 works from 2,200+ outputs, applying a 50+year RGB mastery to algorithmic selection.

​

Treats assisted technologies as a tool not an autonomous creator maintaining full artistic intentionality.

Early Adopter 2023 January–March 2023 unrestricted algorithmic access.

Curated 47 works from 2,200 total generative outputs.

​

Selection methodology: Artist-directed RGB color-channel sequencing identical to 43 years of traditional photographic practice.

​

All works authenticated prompt signature markers confirmed impossible under post-2024 systems.

​

RGB Continuum Methodology

Core principle across all mediums: artist‑directed RGB decision‑making.

Unifies film, digital, acrylic spray, and assisted technologies curation into one continuous artistic identity.

Eco‑Conscious Practice

Non‑toxic acrylic inks

Recyclable framing materials

Energy‑efficient high‑SEER computers

Automated, low‑waste workspace

Sustainable canvas and digital‑first workflows

​For RIKXECOM, digital refinement is not a secondary corrective step but an extension of tactile authorship the digital equivalent of layering, metal texturing, pigment modulation, and surface manipulation. 

 

Through contrast, sharpness, tonal structure, color temperature, transparency, blending, and depth control, he translates physical sensibilities into electronically mediated form.

 

In this process, digital tools do not replace touch; they extend it, allowing surface, resistance, softness, tension, and visual depth to be articulated through a contemporary language of light, structure, and signaL.
