Philippe Ceulemans (Belgium) is a visual artist and designer working at the intersection of photography, code, and contemporary media. His practice explores how images can be transformed into new states of perception through carefully crafted digital processes. Trained outside the conventions of AI and generative automation, Ceulemans develops his works entirely with handwritten code, building custom shader systems and algorithmic structures line by line.
His recent projects revisit iconic art historical figures, from Gustav Klimt to modern masters, translating their static surfaces into living, time-based compositions. These works are not filters or machine-learned replications, but unique re-creations — mosaics of light, flux, and abstraction written in a digital handwriting that belongs solely to the artist.
Beyond his code-based moving images, Ceulemans is known for large-scale photographic works under the Lumin820 label, often produced in XXL formats for galleries, collectors, and architectural contexts. His art invites viewers into immersive spaces where ornament, perception, and memory shift continuously.
By positioning code as a material rather than a tool, Philippe Ceulemans bridges tradition and innovation, offering works that are simultaneously homage, experiment, and poetic meditation.
