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.Â
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.

Met prachtige als de ramen van een kathedraal. Zeer mooie kleuren uitilisées. De elementen zijn gewerkt door een oude traditie: de gepartitioneerde! Wat een mooi glad resultaat! Mijn ogen zijn veel van je creaties. Dank u voor deze prachtige show. AWESOME! As magnificent as the windows of a cathedral. Very beautiful colors uitilisées. The elements are as worked by an ancient tradition: the partitioned! What a nice smooth result! My eyes are fond of your creations. Thank you for this beautiful show. AWESOME! Aussi magnifique que les vitraux d'une cathédrale. Très belles couleurs uitilisées. Les éléments sont comme travaillé selon une ancienne tradition : les cloisonnés ! Quel beau résultat harmonieux ! Mes yeux sont friands de vos créations. Merci pour ce joli spectacle. IMPRESSIONNANT !

A nice, neat design! I hope they are concealed glasses each brimful with good cheer. The chill must be kept at bay - or so the excuse goes.
