Cypheristikal
Fractured dimensions by Cypheristikal
Cypheristikal is an AI artist based in Los Angeles, California, known for creating mesmerising visuals that blur the line between abstraction and realism. At first, his work may seem like fractured, abstract compositions, but a closer look reveals intricate, sprawling cityscapes. These metropolitan elements are integral to Cypheristikal's work, which often features complex, circular, or spiralling forms. The use of geometric shapes, such as grids, spirals, and angular patterns, creates an effect of organised chaos.
​
By blending cool hues like blues and purples with warmer tones of reds, yellows, and oranges, Cypheristikal generates a striking high-contrast effect. This draws the viewer's eye to the multiple layers within each work, emphasising their dynamic nature. The interplay between chaos and control is a key theme in Cypheristikal’s art, as he evokes a sense of both structure and disorder. His work challenges traditional perceptions of space, offering a glimpse into a future where urban environments and digital worlds merge. Cypheristikal's unique work has been showcased at major art events around the world, including in Los Angeles, New York, and cities across Europe like Ghent, Rome, and Lisbon. Collect it on Foundation, Objkt, and Rodeo.
Roberto Rivadeneira
Roberto Rivadeneira is a contemporary artist originally from Quito, Ecuador. Living and working between Berlin and Madrid, his work ranges from studio and gallery pieces to large-scale public art. Roberto explores the intersection of art, design, and technology, drawing influence from early 20th-century movements like constructivism and abstract expressionism, alongside contemporary culture, NFTs, and new media. Since 2015, his artistic journey has significantly evolved from graphic design to blending physical and digital mediums.
Roberto Rivadeneira’s work explores abstraction, space, and evolving perceptions of reality. Moving between small-scale pieces and expansive murals, he invites viewers to engage with both the tangible and digital dimensions of contemporary life. His physical exhibitions are not just visual displays but interactive experiences, encouraging viewers to engage, reflect, and interact with the space and atmosphere. Deeply influenced by everyday observations across different cities and societies, his work captures the essence of human experience within a rapidly changing world. The artist's ongoing research merges traditional abstract painting with cutting-edge technology, creating an open dialogue between the two worlds. Collectors can find his work on Exchange and SuperRare.

Yellows, hints and earthy like contrasting memory by Helio Santos
Helio Santos
Helio Santos is a Mexican artist with a background in painting and digital art, working at the intersection of digital media, AI, and technology. His practice explores the complex dynamics between humans, nature, and machines, using landscapes as a conceptual vehicle. Viewing technology as both an extension of the body and intellect, Santos critically examines society’s evolving relationship with the digital realm. Blending generative AI, creative coding, and computer vision, his work presents a fusion of digital and painterly textures. His compositions are rich in layered colour and fragmented forms, evoking impressionistic yet glitch-inspired landscapes.
Some pieces are created using hundreds of AI-generated landscape images, processed through a custom algorithm designed by the artist, resulting in works that oscillate between generative art and abstract expressionism. Santos’s art embodies a sense of both nostalgia and transformation, reminiscent of deconstructed memories or digitally eroded paintings. His work has been exhibited worldwide, from Paris to Tokyo, and can be collected on Sovereign Contract, Objkt, Teia, Fx_Hash, and Foundation.
Brutal
Brutal (Marco Bonafè, b. 1981) is an Italian artist and art director who has been active in the contemporary art scene for 25 years. Originally a traditional artist, he transitioned to digital art in 2021, embracing it as a new medium. This year, Brutal is presenting his latest project, ‘Abstract Evolution’, a series of abstract artworks that emulate the outputs of generative art. His creative process begins with just a mouse and Photoshop and continues with the use of specialised software to convert each artwork into ASCII encoding, adding a unique conceptual layer.
‘Abstract Evolution’ blends the aesthetics of generative art with a fully handmade approach. The collection’s release will follow a distinctive format, as the works will be published on Manifold in numerical order but without a set schedule. ‘Abstract Evolution’ does not have a predetermined number of pieces; instead, it will evolve organically, reaching its final form between March and December 2025. Brutal aims for his creations to find genuinely engaged collectors who acquire them at the moment they appear. Additionally, some works from the collection will be donated to museums and charities.

Breakdown by Archie Morley
Archie Morley
Archie Morley is an Australian visual artist whose work merges painting, scanography, generative processes and digital manipulation to create striking abstract compositions. Rooted in abstract expressionism and expanded through experimental techniques, Archie’s work explores the themes of emotion, memory, and perception. His inspiration draws from the complexities of the human psyche, psychedelic states, nature, and mindfulness, transforming introspective experiences into vivid, dynamic forms. In his creations, every stroke feels intentional, layered to convey motion and transformation, as though the work exists in flux. The palette he uses creates a charged interplay between light and shadow, balancing chaos with moments of calm.​​
​
With an intuitive and emotionally resonant approach, Archie’s practice spans from spontaneous, aesthetically driven compositions to pieces that channel deeper states of mind. For over a decade, he has shared his evolving body of work with a global audience and been exhibited internationally, including in Miami, Lisbon, and New York.
