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...

I can feel the tension here. Excellent in every respect, including the frame..and I like your choice of b&w coloring.

Excelent spiral, and the bordering is wow!

A beautiful flow of grace and energy!

I like the b&w choice a lot, I think it makes the image more dramatic (oddly enough).

Just splendid! I love the black and white dynamics.
rocserum
exellent etching effect. RS

To me this is one of your most beautiful fractals. Love the black and white, it reminds me of my making etchings many years ago.

Wonderful fractal, great frame, very nice work !!!

Somehow it reminds me of a close up of a wonderful shell :o) Most beautiful work, Andreas!

Very nice, has a glacial look and the Black and white is a perfect foil for the form. Framing is very effective, Great composition

A most charming image! As always, your textures are incredible. Love the framing and the spiral shapes.

Impressive transformation shown in this image. But is your office routine really so bad and dark?

Awesome texturing and details

This is one of those I really wish I had done;))) I really really do. So simple and so incrediably rich.
