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.ÂÂ
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.

so glad to find this beauty the first day I found time to go online with Renderosity.. Sorry I missed many I am sure and at my pace will never find the time to back up far enough to see all the previous ones of the last 3 weeks.. But you know I enjoy most of your creations..

this is beautiful! it feels like a window, either painted or maybe even stained glass, or perhaps a little of stained glass methods and a little a bit of melting the glass to join other colors and blend it the way it is. I love the colors of course (greens and blues being my faves), and I love the feel of a crisp morning in late summer, early autumn that this leaves me with. Wonderful dedi for Juliette!
