Jeff Millett's artistic practice bridges traditional painting and computational art, creating works that investigate human emotion, power structures, and systemic influence.
 

Beginning as a self-taught painter in 2005, Millett developed a distinctive impasto technique using 15-20 layers of oil paint to create what he calls "emotional topologies." His Masters in Architecture from Columbia University (2009) profoundly shaped his approach, leading him to view both physical and financial systems as architectural constructs.
 

The 2008 financial crisis catalyzed his ongoing Masters of the Universe series, which began with oil portraits of financial figures and has expanded into digital works employing Voronoi algorithms and computational processes. These pieces fragment and reconstruct their subjects, revealing how power operates through technological mediation rather than physical presence.
 

Millett's work exists at the intersection of abstraction and portraiture, using both brush and code to develop new visual languages for our algorithmic age. His practice demonstrates how traditional artistic concerns—emotion, identity, power—can be meaningfully explored through emerging technologies while maintaining conceptual depth and emotional resonance.
 

Based in Marin County, California, Millett continues to expand his investigation of how art can make visible the invisible systems that shape contemporary existence.
