jmpntr2217 creates computational portraits and figurative works that reveal the invisible networks of power shaping our world. Working at the convergence of traditional oil painting and algorithmic processes, his practice transforms how we visualize contemporary influence.

​

His "Masters of the Universe" collection investigates socio-economic and political titans through fragmented digital works, using computer generated structures, multi-layering techniques and interface aesthetics to capture figures who operate through digital networks rather than physical presence.

Each work functions simultaneously as representation, system simulation, and commentary on technological mediation.

​

Beginning as a self-taught oil painter in his parents' basement, jmpntr2217 completed his Masters of Architecture at Columbia University before pioneering a hybrid approach that transforms traditional portraiture through computational fragmentation, creating visual languages for our algorithmic age.

​

His work addresses a fundamental question: when through algorithms and data flows rather than physical presence, how do we create portraits that capture these invisible realities?

​

jmpntr2217's practice spans traditional painting and computational aesthetics. His work processes what it means to be human when so much of life is lived through digital mediation.
