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.

een boeiend geheel Ed, het lijkt rond te lopen ( als een soort armband); de kleuren (typisch jouw stijl) vind ik prachtig

Inderdaad... weer een knapperd, zowel naar vormen als kleurenkeuze. De piepkleine rode sprankeltjes (in full size view) maken er iets discreet geraffineerds van.

Allemaal mooie radertjes en schoepen. Het is net alsof ze kunnen bewegen. If a silver mobile.

Sharkish!!! :) It has been my dream for years to have an energy self sufficient house.... have not had the money to create it, the technology is out there. Instead of ruining our world faster and faster.
