Do you know? The world is full of patterns and designs. If you have seen one, it leads to others, you can vary them, play with them, ...BIOBorn in December 1, 1963, Germany. Studied mathematics and physics in Heidelberg (lost my heart there :-) I still live not too far from this wonderful town and enjoy visiting it as often as possible.
I started with Fractals in October 1999. It did not take long until I noticed that writing colourings is my true fractal desire :-)
Inspired by Damien M. Jones, Mark Townsend, Edward M. Perry, Samuel Monnier, and others
I began to imitate their style. Being a software developer I finally found my own coding style in UF.
After a while I found some friends in the UF world whom I share my ideas and images and ... with.
They give me the impetus for creating new UF code. They show me what an artist can create with it :-)
And now? Now I look over all my pieces of code and try to reorganize them in a way that allows me
to create code with them more or less automatically :-)
Or I take a sheet of paper (!!!) and a pencil (!!!) and sketch some patterns and designs
and hope to find some time to transfer them into UF code.
But these patterns do not really fit into the fractals. Fractal processes distort them and
disturb the geometry. And thus I changed from making fractals to creating 2D geometric designs.
I still use my fractal program - because it can manage making images from mathematical code.
Who inspires me in the real world:
Paul Klee
Wassilij Kandinskij
Francis Bacon
Good old Single Island Malt (colour, scent, taste, warmth, ...)
Sometimes traffic signs or a new T Shirt design (please don't laugh (at least not too loud))
Water colour paintings

Renderosity is a nice place to virtually meet interesting people and begin some nice friendships...

It's incredible how you turned geometry into life... I love this texture, it's like some rocks you can find on Italian Southern coasts.. they are shaped in little detailes and decorated by some various colours, like a stream of preciousness around them, a kiss from sea and sun. The colours to me are not dark at all: they fit this rich piece well :) It's wonderful :) a dance indeed :)

Marvellous, Andreas -- rich and detailed, fascinating nooks and crannies; I don't find the colours too dark at all, rather there's interesting contrast, and depth.

wirklich ein tolles bild Andreas zu dunkel find ich es auch nicht, schon erstaunlich das du so was aus den squares und triangels herausbekommst .Man muschon sehr genau hinschauen um das zu sehen .

Well worth the effort Andreas.

It's not fishing for compliments... this image is much darker than my other ones. And I seldom use only one colour scheme (black, brown, gold, amber, yellow, white, with a touch of green-grey). I feared that it might be too dark a mood - although I'm not in such a mood :-)

It's not too dark at all, it has good contrast. A well achieved balance of lightness and drama. T&S

Looks like an intricate carving in aged wood. Very nice.

Texture! You're right! It's a beauty, Andreas!

Wonderfull texture and movment.

envious sighs Fantastic texturing, and the sombre colouring is very dramatic

Floating gold... I love it

Oh, I would like to touch it - it looks like brass/bronze work - it's a great piece and another all time fav :-)

Phantastic! Amazing! Toll!
wolfbear
very great

Hi Andreas! wow, the texture and coloring on this are fabulous - makes me think of an ancient cave painting. Love it!

This "Serious Fractaler" is no-good! All his victims should complain at the administrator for this gallery. He did it systematically and out of his illminded state of mind. Sorry for that!

Andreas, Fractal what a concept excellent work.
