Iztok Šmajs- Muni is a Slovenian artist who explores
different media and techniques to create his unique abstract
expressionist artworks. He has developed his own series
of works: DXO, DXOSS, DXOL, and DXOM/L, using various
materials such as Chinese ink, felt pen, acryl bitumen,

graphite, and pencil. These works are based on an algorithm
that he invented, which reflects his artistic character and
originality.
He does not use any computer devices to create his works,
but rather relies on his hand and fingers to produce intricate
patterns and forms. He considers his works as a form of
contemplative reality, where he expresses his emotions and
thoughts in a paradoxical way.
He claims that there is no difference between humor and
sadness, and that he laughs and cries at the same time. He
also compares his works to the Australian aboriginal works,
which share a similar system of dreams and symbols. His
works are a fascinating discovery for anyone interested in
recent art and intelligent machines.
Iztok is an extremely original and captivating Abstract
Expressionist. His work resonates with vivid lyricism, inviting
viewers into a realm where form, color, and perception
intertwine in fascinating ways. His vivaciously colored
paintings continue this enchantment. Each brushstroke
contributes to a chromatic tapestry, weaving together
intricate yarns of color. The resulting patterns create a
