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...

One of the hardest decisions to make as an artist, i guess. But this certainly looks alright to me. I love the way you handled your background. It keeps shifting my focus from foreground to the background. Very well done !
Akinom
To it looks perfect! Such a joyful springlike image! Compliments also on the colour scheme again, Andreas!
janlabes
well, it's beautiful and very fascinating, in any case, whatever you decide!

Looks great to me. Nice textured background and that spiral made of rectangles is a perfect optical illusion. Wonderful!

Very different Andreas, and I like it alot! Very nice design and colors, great work!
tresamie
I love it! Yes, I think with a frame it is a finished piece. I love the subtle echo in the backbround and the way the spirals dance!
kansas
A lighthearted and happy image. I like it.

Lovely! Nice 'fresh' colouring and I like the ever so faint geo pattern on the background.
fractalinda
Fresh and lovely. I'd like to see more of the texture in back.

Lovely spring colors! Looks ready to me, great design.

The center circle with the shell inside looks a bit like placed afterwards on the image ... as if there are more sticks hidden behind ... The shell itself looks beautiful and is nicely coloured. Great effect with the light shades in the background! And I like a lot the stick construction of the interwoven and rotated squares. The UCL seems to be very promising!

Great colors and textures,very nice!!
tolstoy
Interesting! I would like to see a little more texture.

The spikes are really dancing, it looks like a tribal dance performed with spears. And the subtlety of the background is exquisite. I like the way the round shell shapes contrast with the lines but the central area does look "detached" from the rest.
creanum
very good image

Oh, I like this, Andreas! The eye is really drawn into the golden treasure in the center! Bravo!

The color play in the spiral keeps that lovely little shell dancing! It's really a delightful image just the way it stands... and it's fun, too! I love it!! :)

I really like this Andreas, its fresh and pretty, lovely colouring. Focal point in the middle is excellent, and the composition is really well balanced. Great work :)
midnightblue
I agree with tresamie. It is a wonderful design and the color scheme is perfect. It seems a frame would set this wonderful composition off perfectly.

i like it, beautiful and very clear. !!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!!!

This is really something different, Love the conch shell image surrounded by the stick images. Can't help you with a name, but looks good to me <<<<<<<<Lina

Cool shapes and textures, Andreas! You know, the composition of the thumbnail image for this is actually a very good graphic design in its own right, too. Maybe you might zoom this to match the thumb for another version?
Fractelaar
Cool and full of elegance Colors and render is brilliant I am agree whit Rykk for the formatsize
