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.

prachtige vervloeiende kleurbeweging in een aangenaam palette

It looks like a hollow in stone, a pocket, laid open. It has filled with layers of minerals--I can see iron, and copper, and sulphur. It's so beautiful, and so understated.

Ik heb jouw galery er eens op nagekeken en ik merk dat de laatste 4 werken misschien deel uitmaken van een bepaalde beeldentendens. Deze is een zeer geslaagd werk. De grillige vormen en vooral de kleuren spreken me aan.

Is this where "the Squall" was found? It is beautiful, the way the design repeats is marvelous, the way it flows and eddies and ripples is a delight!
