More fractal arts and their demise

by Olliver Wichmann

Here comes the second part of fractal images that may look nice for themselves. As written before, no particular super secret weapon was used, just Gimp’s fractal explorer, some filters and a couple of layers. I’ve already mentioned what made me create those images, but there is yet another dimension: The use of colours.

Certain ranges for colours are representative of emotions that occupied my mind whilst creating the composition. For a near chaotic state like being happy and sad simultaneously, I used the “lunatic ranges” between a cold red and lilac. So it’s more like a short cut for me about what the initial reason was to spend some time for an image. There are more criteria like that, but they are meant to remain secrets, because those details would not help anyway. It’s merely a decision about what elements to use in which way, but the most important thing still is what the person looking at the image associates with it. The personal with all its hidden symbols and meanings seems rather uninteresting to me, except to those who have a reason to make a research on an artist.
