Florian Zumbrunn

Florian Zumbrunn is a Paris-based generative artist whose work merges algorithmic processes with traditional media. After studying fine art under Achot Achot, he discovered the work of Erik Natzke, which sparked his interest in creative coding. This shift led him to co-found Makio&Floz, a Japan-based studio creating interactive installations across Tokyo, Paris and New York. When the studio closed, Zumbrunn embarked on a solo path to explore generative art more deeply.

His work centres on custom-coded tools that generate intricate compositions, often printed and hand-finished with pastel, watercolour or oil. Bridging digital systems and physical gestures, his practice reinterprets Impressionism through code, robotics and soft materials. Series such as ‘Foundations’, ‘Tout tracé’ and ‘Moments’ explore identity and memory, layering grids, organic forms and pastel detail to evoke emotional nuance. In 2024, he collaborated with Hennessy XO on 40 limited-edition bottles, each uniquely painted by a robotic arm using generative designs. Zumbrunn also teaches at Gobelins in Paris and has exhibited in solo shows in Paris and Tokyo, as well as in group exhibitions including the London Biennale, Disruptive Gallery, Bright Moments, NFT Factory Paris, and Galerie Data. His work is available on Verse, Art Blocks, fxhash, Objkt and OpenSea.
