NOT A PRINT SHOP
A studio obsessed with permanence.
In an age where images are disposable and art is generated on demand, CodeInk art makes things that last. Not on a screen. Not in a feed. On paper — plotted line by line by a machine that doesn't rush.
Founded in Québec City in 2025. One person, one machine, one rule: nothing leaves this studio that wasn't decided by a human first.

The Origin
“When I arrived from Colombia into the cold winters of Québec, I realized that while languages can be barriers, art and geometry are universal. I found comfort in the precision of code and the warmth of paper. CodeInk art is my way of merging those two worlds: the story of where we come from, drafted with the technology of where we are going.”

THE MACHINE MOVES
The paper remembers

Pixels
Real ink physically laid into the paper, line by line. No laser. No inkjet. No digital step between the idea and the sheet.
4–6H
Avg. plot time per piece
The robot doesn't rush. The pen descends, traces, lifts, repositions. For hours. The variation in pressure isn't a flaw — it's the proof it's real.

Reprints
When a series closes, it closes. No second edition, no digital version, no exceptions. What you own can't be made again.
ON ARTIFICIAL
intelligence
People ask, so here's a clear answer: I don't use AI-generated images in my work.
Every drawing starts from a real source — a technical plan, open map data, a photo you send me, or code I write myself. What I do next is remove. Decide which lines disappear. That's where the work is, and it's the one part I'll never delegate.
The robot executes. It invents nothing. Neither do I, for that matter: I look at real objects and try to reduce them to what's essential.
AGAINST
the temporary
Every piece is built to outlive the moment it was made for. The blueprint of an aircraft that existed only once. The exact line of a route someone ran. Not decoration — documents of permanence.
