zancan, a generative artist from Bordeaux, France, has been a painter and programmer for four decades. By synergizing his former practice as a traditional artist working with oil paint into the medium of computer code, he explores the graphical possibilities of a ‘figurative-generative’ art genre.

His digital artworks and resulting pen-plotter drawings not only rely on technology, but also remind us of the necessary bond between man and nature, raising awareness of environmental and social matters through their visual symbolism.

zancan's series Garden, Monoliths, and The Lushtemples, which focus on rendering natural shapes with mathematical equations and programming code have become the top-selling collections on the Tezos blockchain.
