Living
Garden
A painting takes root.
Touch the colour. Let it grow.
Press and drag to plant a new growth.
Each touch clears a little centre and sows its edge. Release it and watch the patch regrow.
Preparing the garden.
Before
the growth.
The colours and contours begin in Iana Kochu’s Garden Before Noon. The live study uses a crop of the canvas; the original photograph is shown here unchanged.
This is a hand-authored reaction–diffusion simulation. Two virtual concentrations evolve through neighbouring cells. It is a digital interpretation, not AI, physical paint or a reconstruction of the artist’s process.
