A high-performance generative art engine powered by genetic algorithms. By treating every brushstroke as an evolving individual within a population, the system simulates a natural painting process where strokes mutate, crossover, and compete to reconstruct images with organic texture and real-time efficiency.

Original Image Analysis
The process begins by extracting a 'spatial importance map' from the source. Using convoluted filters to detect vertical and horizontal edges, the algorithm identifies high-frequency areas that require finer brushwork and more intensive genetic iteration.
Initial Population
The first generation consists of a stochastic population of brushes. At this stage, individuals are assigned random attributes, resulting in a primitive sampling of colors based on their initial coordinates within the image dimensions.
Broad Stroke Evolution
As the generations progress, the algorithm favors larger brushes that capture the general luminance and 'underpainting' of the piece. The fitness function begins rewarding individuals that align with the dominant color clusters of the target.
Refining the Canvas
The population shifts toward medium-sized brushes. The importance map starts guiding the evolution, ensuring that strokes are placed more densely around detected edges, bringing the broad visible structures of the image into focus.
Final Convergence
In the final stage, the genetic pool has stabilized into a high-fidelity representation. Thousands of evolved individuals work in harmony, recreating fine details and textures while maintaining the unique aesthetic of a hand-painted artwork.
Genetic Operators Driving the artistic growth
Population Initialization
Each brush represents an individual with unique DNA: position, size, color, and rotation. Initially, these characteristics are independent and stochastically distributed across the digital canvas.
Mutation Operator
Mutation introduces diversity by randomizing specific features of the current generation. By slightly altering a brush's radius or hue, the system explores new aesthetic possibilities that might better fit the target image.
Crossover Operator
Pairs of successful individuals exchange 'genetic' information. This merge between different brushes allows the best traits—such as a perfect color from one and an ideal position from another—to propagate to the next generation.
Selection & Pruning
Finally, a rigorous selection process occurs. Based on the importance map calculated via edge detection, the most effective brushes are retained while less accurate individuals are removed, optimizing performance and visual clarity.
