Nice work, the outputs look ethereal and quite beautiful. For some related work using genetic algorithms and evolution strategies, see[1].

Sketch synthesis is an area I'm pretty interested in lately; I'm currently exploring similar things with CLIP to guide fitness, natural evolution strategy to optimize the rendered results, and using an implicit neural representation to represent pen plotter paths (rather than a series of explicit curves/strokes).[2]

Nice, I did something similar for a university project, but my results weren't great. Although that has been almost 20 years ago. It's been a while since I've seen mention of "genetic algorithms".
