Here's how we create our generative artworks in a nutshell.
1. Artist Generates a Number of Unique Versions of Their Artwork
2. You Make a Purchase, You Will Receive the Next Available Edition In Line
3. Your New Artwork Is Prepared, Created and Shipped
4. The Purchased Edition Is Archived. No More Identical Versions Are Made.

Glass Prints
Our glass prints are made in cooperation with our local glass printing studio.
The direct on glass printing technology guarantees that your artwork
looks stunning from every angle. Edges are polished to ensure smooth touch, and beveled slightly to give that stunning 3D look. Prints are made with safety glass.
The prints are made of nothing but glass - giving a unique dignifying look. The ink is pressed between two glass panels, with a slightly more opaque glass panel on the backside to bring contrast to the artwork.
PS. Have a look at your glass artwork in bright light to notice a hint of beautiful translucency :)
Artist Process and Methods
Our artworks can be categorized into generative art or algorithmic art. These are artworks that are made using mathematics, coding, algorithms and artist specified rules. Despite the word generative, the artist is deeply involved in the whole process, using code, randomness, geometry and math as their tool to bring their vision alive.
In the field of generative and algorithmic art, a pattern that often emerges is the use of noise and randomness. We make use of this to create unique editions of one scenery / artwork. The final step of creating Kumba collections is to use randomness to create unique versions of an artwork. This step can be fully generative, but usually it requires a lot of finetuning, selection of desired qualities, and parameter tuning from the artist.
We do not use AI in any of our art, glass print collections, other products etc.
