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.

Each computer can display colors so differently, it's hard to know sometimes. I love that your pretty eggs are all tucked away so safely here. Good job

Like a very unusual tiled glass texture of some sort, and that coloring is SO unusual, it does grab your attention!

Excellent abstract composition, Ed!!!

Ed, vind dit prachtig werk. Zeker de structuur in de "stammen".

origineel, leuk, en (zoals Arend zou zeggen) met goede 3d-werking

Fascinerend abstract, knap werk!

Subtle difference everywhere, it's a picture worthy of close study - and now you tell me I'm missing out by not paying more attention to the List. I'll catch up - I will! Terrible, isn't it, I didn't even approach them as eggs until I thought back more on your title. But does it matter?

Heel mooi en zou een schitterend patroon zijn voor mooie zijden sjaal op een zwarte jurk.. Zou hem zo kopen.
