“hybrid art merges digital processes with hand drawing into a single, integrated practice, moving between pixel-level precision and tactile texture.” “joost hulsbosch’s large-scale hybrid works are entirely handcrafted, created without the use of a.i. each piece is built with custom-designed digital brushes and hand-painted effects, preserving the artist’s presence within a contemporary medium.” andy wharton for the barbican centre, london, uk
The hand drawn, large format hybrid brush works of Joost Hulsbosch bring together the artisanal and the electronic. They move between human intuition and computational precision, merging the tactile language of painting with the possibilities of contemporary media. Created without the use of artificial intelligence, these works are produced in rare limited editions, etched into steel and sealed beneath museum grade acrylic glass.

The Liminal Portrait Collection
Liminal refers to a transformative space between two states of being. It is a threshold where the old has already fallen away, and the new has not yet arrived. This is a suspended phase of becoming, often experienced after a breakup, during mourning, or in other moments of inner change that require time to recover, recalibrate, and find a new sense of direction.
