The polygons overlap with transparency, so 50 polygons could in theory create up to 2^50 unique regions. Think Venn diagram with every possible combination of overlapping areas, any combination of the 50 sets of points. (This is possible if the Venn areas are not convex.)
Realistically, it looks like the final result has somewhere upwards of 200 unique areas created by various overlaps of the 50 polygons.

Only 50 semi transparent polygons? I would have thought a lot more would have been needed.
Also worth checking out, the gallery with more paintings: http://rogeralsing.com/2008/12/11/genetic-gallery/

Thanks for the link. Looking at the Images, I find that the polygonal representation also yields a very cool visual effect.
