A fractal is a complex mathematical equation or pattern that produces a geometric image which can be increased to infinity still producing the same image. There are fractal shapes in everything around us from the very fern leaves to the galactic formations, having a huge link with chaos theory meaning that fractals are fascinating for those looking for some kind of meaning to the universe.
There are several designers who have created true works of art based on fractals and of which you will find below four artists who have enormous examples of what can be achieved when one is inspired by this type of geometry.
Jorge Abalo
All the surreal creations de Jorge Abalo with their fractal art they are totally wonderful. Since he started working in digital art in the 90s, he did illustration for comics, design, 3D modeling and fractal flames (Apophysis) before being introduced to Mandelbulb 3D in 2011.
His work shows his special touch for surrealism when it comes to fractal art.
Water lilies
The fractal flames o fractal flames were created by Roger Johnston and they are an "extension of the functional system of a class of fractals." Johnston has been creating fractal art for years now and remains one of the only and most impressive creators in this field
The use of color and its intricate details are the main features of his great artistic work.
Zone Creations
The Californian illustrator Jacob ankney creates some of the most amazing fractal art designs to date. His ability to include the style of fractals within nature as they are in flowers or trees are his touch of distinction from other artists.
The colors and texture created offer an inexhaustible source of inspiration for more artists who want to start in the art of fractals.
Fractal Mystical Daliphants
An artist who is partly inspired of the work of the great Salvador Dalí and that the work shared from right here is called "St Anthony and The Temptation of the Fractalic Mystical Daliphants" that pays homage to "The Temptation of Saint Anthony" by Dalí.
Created by Johan andersson, this work It is characterized by a ceramic sculpture that he himself created a few years ago. The use of perspective and the range of colors are his mark of identity.
To finish we leave you an app for the iPad that will allow you to create fractal patterns, with which you can even adjust color, play with light and apply different types of textures. The app is called Frax HD.
