Julian Powers is a Louisville-based digital artist and painter. In his work, Julian delves into the realm of Turing patterns, where mathematics and art converge to form captivating visual narratives. 

“Through meticulous study of algorithms and natural processes, I craft compositions that reflect the intricate beauty found in biological systems and physical phenomena. Each piece serves as a testament to the inherent harmony and complexity of nature, rendered through digital mediums with a balance of precision and spontaneity. By inviting viewers to engage with these dynamic patterns, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder, contemplation, and connection to the profound mysteries of our universe.”
