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.

Must look up this "Armando," thingy - whatever it is? A nice image, and unconvential. One comment, given that the image strays down to the frame on the right side, I would have liked a stronger base. At the moment it generates a feeling of imbalance (unease), though this might be intentional. It is even better when zoomed so click and peep you shy types.

heel apart en zeer artistiek.. Ik ken "Armando" niet maar ik kan me goed voorstellen wat hij doet. Ik zou het "Breakthrough" genoemd hebben.. Het ziet ernaar uit dat het door the oppervlakte gebarsten is. Excellent image specially in full size

Armando is an awesome fractal .. is he as wonderful in real life? This looks like an oil painting!
