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.

schitterend..het lijkt wel het kustwerk van een zilversmid

Mooie fractal en vrolijk paasfeest!

Love the greyscale gradient, super work Peace

Nice design and texture.

Prachtige creatie,het lijkt wel opgelegd werk. Fijne paasdagen.

Juliette slaat de nagel op de kop ! Zo zie ik het ook. De texture laat me denken aan verfijnd hamerslagwerk. Ik vermoed dat plaatje in een dubbel zo groot formaat (dus 4 X de opp.) het nóg beter tot z'n recht zou komen.

very fine image

excellent design, great structure!

I like the image although I think it could use many more shades of gray

Beautiful!

I like the composition a lot and also the texture, although I think some of the greys could be a little lighter (maybe it's my monitor :)).
