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...

This is a very romantic scene .The knight climbing up the castle wall to visit his loved one. It`s dark only the moon gives a little light when it peeps from behind the clouds .The less details I see the more my imagination fills in the gaps .

I've looked at this for a long time and I don't know exactly what to say. Great texture, colors, and lighting, but it has a somewhat unearthly/cosmic look to it. Hard to describe. I like it VERY much.

Excellent dark and moody look to this one, Andreas. And, as ever, some of the coolest textures in the biz!

Great title, fantastic lighting. It seems to be a collage of cut out papers, glued to a backing with stand-offs to hold them above the back. Very 3 dimensional! :)

Beautiful. I love the textures in this. Wonderful work with Dark Colors. Not always easy. Very different and striking.
