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.

Afgegraven materiaal zoals goud links, is een overvloed aan reliëfs bpoucliers in het centrum! Zeer mooie harmonieuze kleuren!

Het fragiele van het geheel refereert naar de titel veronderstel ik en toch heeft het iets krachtig en sterk in zich. In elk geval een prachtig concept, knap uitgevoerd!!

Ja inderdaad de kleuren zijn een beetje vrolijker hoewel minder chigue... ahahahah en als je in Den Haag woont is dat erg belangrijk... Very lovely creation.

'k Heb m'n twijfels bij de titel, Ed, :-)) want dit werkje is "AF" (in hoofdletters). Zeer, zeer mooi om te zien en 't oogt nog mooier wanneer men weet wat je daar allemaal hebt voor gedaan.
