Welcome to artfractals.com!

In the 70's fractals were a mathematical and visual oddity. Grouped together with the aging psychedelic-genre, mainstream and sophisticated art connoisseurs alike quickly dismissed the gaudy-colored patterns as inconsequential and really not all that attractive, anyway. Since then, fractals have emerged as one of the most powerful and versatile tools in not only visual art, but in the modeling and understanding of natural and chaotic systems in all fields of discipline. Our understanding of the fractal has matured, and with it our appreciation and application of them—fractals have become both an indispensable tool and art form of their own. Fractals are everywhere around us. Sea shells are fractals. Trees, plants, clouds, and even complex terrain can be realistically represented using fractals. Fractals are used to simulate the real world and do an amazing job creating complex, life-like structures that we would be hard pressed to manually draw or build.

A fractal has statistical self-similarity at all resolutions and is generated by an infinitely recursive process. In reality, those fractals generated by finite processes may exhibit no visible change in detail after some stage so are adequate approximations. So, for computer graphics we can extend the definition to include anything that has a substantial measure of exact or statistical self-similarity. This is illustrated by three stages of the construction of the von Koch snowflake below where each straight edge is repeatedly replaced by a copy of the entire figure. Fractals are useful for generating natural appearing shapes or textures, such as land and cloudscapes. Fractal Art is: Expressive. Through a painter's colors, a photographer's use of light and shadow, or a dancer's movements, artists learn to express and evoke all manner of ideas and emotions. Fractal Artists are no less capable of using their medium as a similarly expressive language, as they are equipped with all the essential tools of the traditional visual artist. Creative. The final fractal image must be created, just as the photograph or the painting. It can be created as a representational work, and abstraction of the basic fractal form, or as a nonrepresentational piece. The Fractal Artist begins with a blank "canvas", and creates an image, bringing together the same basic elements of color, composition, balance, etc., used by the traditional visual artist. Requiring of input, effort, and intelligence. The Fractal Artist must direct the assembly of the calculation formulas, mappings, coloring schemes, palettes, and their requisite parameters. Each and every element can and will be tweaked, adjusted, aligned, and re-tweaked in the effort to find the right combination. The freedom to manipulate all these facets of a fractal image brings with it the obligation to understand their use and their effects. This understanding requires intelligence and thoughtfulness from the Artist.
