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...

I love this, Andreas! I like the way the swirl turns back on inself in the center! Bravo!
figharo
Love the color and the jagged edge. Very strong feeling.

I like the metallic twist too, and very effective use of the gradient -- the whole is very appealing : )
aztek
Cool! I love the colors :)
janlabes
yeah - very beautiful - and the center is really phantastic!!! cool!
Zemela
Its very interesting, the center imitates metalic shape, and the gradient is very good idea. Also it makes optical treat, the edges turns.
tresamie
I love the subtle coloration in the lighted sections and the metallacity of the center.

that's super cool Andreas! I love how it bends in the center, simple beauty!
gunsan
Beautiful, love the center of it too, thanks for showing enlarged detail in the Forum!

I really enjoy the sense of spatial depth in this work..and admire the skill that achieves this entirely without formal rendering....
