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.

Vrij uniek in zijn genre, dus origineel EN ... ... ... tegelijk mooi. Mathematica, technotica en esthetica lopen bij jou duidelijk hand in hand.Het woord "Technotica" zal je wellicht niet in de dikke Van Dale terug vinden, maar voor diegenen die jouw werken kennen, zal het wel duidelijk zijn.

This almost makes you think of water reflections in front of the main image. Or even cut mirrors. Gorgeous abstract work. Bunny

I love the feeling of looking through a stained glass window, except the glass is all clear, but it must be different thicknesses to appear the way it does. I'm really like this stuff, no matter what you call it, LOL!
