Simon Rycroft

My art merges childhood memories, sensory distortions, and the beauty of data. I start with algorithm-generated geometric shapes, refining the designs in Adobe Illustrator and 3D software. My work strives to visualise almost indescribable feelings, the vastness of the universe, and the infinite nature of time. I emphasise interconnectedness and shared experiences, illustrating how we are intrinsically linked to each other and the cosmos. Through abstract, contemporary, geometric art, I aim to evoke familiarity and collective memory, reminding viewers that their unique experiences are, in fact, universally shared.

Simon Rycroft, a digital artist from Leeds, UK, has had a long career as a professional software engineer. Without formal art training, Simon began creating algorithm-based geometric art at age 11. He uses his technical skills to produce intricate patterns, refining them digitally. His work is deeply influenced by shared childhood memories and experiences, aiming to evoke a sense of connection and universality. By drawing from common yet profound aspects of the human experience, Simon seeks to create art that resonates on an emotional level, highlighting the shared nature of seemingly unique personal memories.
