In September 2021, Brazilian artist Monica Rizzolli introduced Fragments of an Infinite Field, a generative art series comprising 1,024 unique digital artworks minted on the Ethereum blockchain through the Art Blocks platform. This collection intricately explores the cyclical transformations of nature, portraying an idealized plant species arranged within expansive, algorithmically generated landscapes.

Each piece within the series encapsulates a specific season—spring, summer, autumn, or winter—determining the palette and environmental phenomena depicted, such as rainfall, snowfall, pollen dispersal, or falling petals. Rizzolli's algorithm introduces variations in floral characteristics, including petal count and filament structures, resulting in subtle mutations that mirror the diversity found in natural ecosystems. The deliberate interplay between figure and background colors challenges traditional boundaries, creating compositions where elements seamlessly blend, evoking the organic complexity of living organisms.

Rizzolli's artistic journey began with a focus on painting, having graduated from UNESP in Brazil. Her exploration of creative programming commenced in 2012 during her studies at Kunsthochschule Kassel in Germany. By 2015, she presented her inaugural generative artwork at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture in the USA, supported by the MAK-Schindler research grant. Her transition from traditional mediums to generative art reflects a synthesis of classical techniques with contemporary digital methodologies. ​

Through Fragments of an Infinite Field, Rizzolli masterfully bridges the realms of art, technology, and nature, offering viewers a contemplative lens into the perpetual evolution and intricate beauty of the natural world.
