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
Exqusite Photos (Can you open this link to www.photosig.com?).
Renderosity is a nice place to virtually meet interesting people and begin some nice friendships...

It's fabulous, and it should be hanging on a large, large wall :-) Beautiful colours that you've used this time!

I am amazed with this. Must have taken hours to create. When I first looked at these with the imported images, I was not sure I liked them. But as you have honed your skills, these are more and more like fine art. This is great, no, excellent.

Actually, it looks more like bicubic smoothing than bilinear ;-). Either way, I think this is my favourite of your 'Meli' pictures so far. I like the cracked-porcelain/old-canvas look of the skin and the rainbow colours for the darker parts work really well too. I also like the border very much, and the thin turquoise line that separates it from the image.

Yes, I like this one best. A delicious color mix and the perfect amount of texturing, IMO. Exceptional work.

The textures and colors are perfect!

This one is an incredible composition. Your work is among the best that can be viewed at this place ... and anywhere else :-)
