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.

I'm not sure either. Sometimes I wake up and I'm convinced that my dream has happened in reality. So must be in colour, right? This is a lovely soft, dreamy work.

Yes, I dream in vivid color. I carry on conversations in my dreams too. I too used to have frightening dreams. Now, they are peaceful and happy. Like your gorgeous artwork today. Bunny

Nice work!!! Love the pastel colors and forms.

A lovely dream this is. Nice and very pleasant. I have had both color and non-color dreams. It seems my dreams that are filled with action have no color. My dreams of pleasant things seem to be in color.

I definitely dream in color, and have even dreamt in French, and in Sign Language (both of which I speak, by the way)! This is a really ethereal piece you've done, and quite lovely! I only wish your dreams were as nice as this fractal you've done.

Dit is een Juweeltje. Fantastic werk.

In color, I'm sure, because when I wake up, I find nothing odd about them, other then the content, LOL! To have dreams as delightful and pastoral as your image, now that would be wonderful!

May I have just one night with dreams as soft, supple, pliable...as this image? I rarely dream..and when I do..they're gharish, haunting things best titled ...Disturbia... :)
