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.

Wow, Ed dit is werkelijk schitterend... je voelt als het ware de negatieve gevoelens die je blijkbaar had bij het maken van dit werk, althans dat is wat ik begrijp uit de titel. In elk geval een geslaagd kunstwerk!!

prachtig resultaat; titel doet me aan de uitslagen van de verkiezingen denken

Kleurvoering is interresant en vooral de diverse niveau,s zijn boeiend net of je zo even kunt overspringen van plaats naar plaats

my first thought was an area in the attic where you have lots of materials stored for making frames for your art work. Adversity is a splendid title. Well done!!

Wonderful work. Is that a rainbow I see trying to shine?

Dit is een prachtige realisatie met treffende, passende titel. Het ziet er gaaf uit en het oogt bovendien zeer artistiek. Bij dit plaatje denk ik niet aan de wiskundige formules die er achter schuilen, maar des te meer aan de gedachtengang die er in verborgen ligt.

like the composition and coloring
