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.

I don't see cabbages but a beautiful abstract. The liquid look of the surfaces is very engaging, and your highlights very dynamic.

Very interesting look to this.

Compliment Ed Je komt steeds vaker met iets wat in FFF is gemaakt en niet specifiek FFF lijkt en dat vind ik echt knap
mansco
Lovely lighing and colours ;O)

Gaaf die tegelijk synthetische en natuurlijke look hier!! Lijkt me wel een beetje harde substantie voor kool eigelijk :D Mooie plaat hoor!!
renderix
cool one!

Wow. I love this soft flow of colors and forms!

Wervelende baljurken zal je bedoelen! Nog een paar graadjes erbij en dan zie je de blote beentjes weer;-))

great highlights and movement-dazzling!

Precious, kingly, noble cabbages. All I found in my dictionary to express the German word 'edel'.

Great abstrct, Ed - really reminiscent of cabbages! Lovely depth and texturing - the subtle flow of colors is delightful!

Prosaic or not, this is an astonishing fractal Ed! Love it! Very unusual!
