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

Renderosity is a nice place to virtually meet interesting people and begin some nice friendships...

this is so lovely! i like the background and the frame also very much. das we sehr sch als geburtsanzeige! :-)

Nice one! It is funny how little we need to set our mind in motion. Your images are symbols that instantly are understood (a bit like traffic signs) and we fill in with our own images. This one could make a nice back of plying cards, the background and the bordes make that association.

Mehr davon, bitte :-)

Wonderful symbolism, and very touching. It sits beautifully on the background.

Such a wonderful bond between a mother and her child, portrayed very well in this series of images Andreas! Outstanding work!

My favorite of your series. Thanks for stirring the emotions.

I like to see the background as the enormous amount of impressions a child has to absorb while it is growing, almost overwhelming! Absolutely fantastic.

This series is so beautiful! I love the way you convey such meaning in a few lines. The background and frame on this one are really astonishing!
beyondthezero
I love this design ... great work on the frame with its variations on the main image.

Glad you mentioned the background. I immediately liked it but didn't see the patterns. Amazing. This series is starting to get complicated now. Great addition.

Wonderful creative series Andreas...I'm a bit late in catching up on posts and I obviously missed a whole lot of fun :-)

And the fourth time is DEFINATELY a charm! Such a wonderful abstracted form of the mother cradling her child. And the intricate background pattern and framing are amazing. Terrific work, Andreas!

Very elegant Middle eastern look.

I'm not big on fractal designs, but this leaves the mind to really think. Brilliant presentation of a parent and child. Excellent work!!

To my eyes, this is some kind of Mirmeet-Gustav Klimt. Masterly combination.

You know, I see some relation to religous works here - almost a "Modonna and child" theme, with the successive layers that look to be giving a halo to the mother and child. I'm so glad to see art that makes me THINK here!
abmlober
Hi FreeJack, you seem to be the first interpreting the repetition of shapes (as it was my only intention) as a halo. And yes - you are definitely right. Thank you for opening my eyes for my own images.

Lovely framing and a very busy piece. I like both this one and the first one the best.

without unusual ideas of what art should be, then it would be a dull world. exceptional work
