Ed Algra, born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1930, now living near Rotterdam. My education was a technical one, I came by accident to artistry, although I always had much interest in art, photography and music.Â
I’m a retired chemical engineer, worked at a research institute on mechanical properties of plastics and composite materials. I heard of fractals for the first time in the late eighties, and then read the well known books of Prof. Hans Lauwerier and other authors on this subject. At that time I also attended a Fractal symposium at the Technical University Delft, where Benoît Mandelbrot and some other prominent authors revealed the secrets of this new mathematical world. The pictures they showed made an overwhelming impression. Years after that, after my retirement and the connection to the web in 2005, I discovered what had happened in the meantime, the birth of a new kind of art, based on fractal concepts. Then it became a creative hobby for me. Both the mathematical and the artistic side of it have my interest.  Especially Ultra Fractal offers the possibility to write your own fractal math codes, and I love it to do so. I started Renderosity uploading on instigation of Arend Nijdam, aka “Fractelaar†in September 2005.

Introspective thinking can get as complex as that but rarely as beautiful. A very fitting title for a fascinating, mysterious composition.

Agree with eras50, delightful.

Heftig Ed! Heel interessant, maar niet te lang..... Soms moet je ook gewoon naar buiten kijken;-)

Complex design, komt waarschijnlijk ook gedeeltelijk door de eigenschappen van FFF, maar weet het niet! In ieder geval lijkt het mij heel goed geslaagd! Het reli en de schaduwen trekken mijn bijzondere aandachtI Knap ED!!***)

a super image, love the mostly bl/wh image with just that little touch of color, makes it very special and intriguing.

Stunning abstract, Ed - love the dynamic depth and reflections; the combo of B&W with a dash of subtle coloring is elegant and adds an evocative sense of you title to this beauty!

This is so beautiful Ed. I love the colors. It has a metallic look to it.
