What is Fractal Art?
Fractal Art also known as Fractal Flames are a set of iterated function systems style of fractals discovered in the early 80’s. Each copy in the iteration processed by a series of transformation functions. The simplest and most well-known example of an iterated function system is the Sierpinski Triangle (see to the right). Gradients are applied to give these mathematical expressions a breath of color and to bring the image to life.
Fractal Art is the attempt to express concepts and ideas through these pieces in much the same way a traditional artist would. The brush is the equations behind the transformations; The palette is the color gradients; The canvas, digital space.
