About the artwork

This is a multi-layer composite fractal image.

This composition is inspired by old Japanese art, and the constantly evolving and transient nature of cloud formations and colours. Using fractals allows me to also illustrate the idea of movement, and change over time. Different parts of fractals show the shapes evolving through various stages in colour, detail and complexity. Bothe colour elements and the aged canvas texture were created with fractals.

The image simultaneously evokes an ancient calm Japanese aesthetic and contemplation, the energetic nature of storm clouds, and the ephemeral quality dusk colours.

All my fractal-based artworks are created from a clear idea or inspiration. I search and explore formulas in fractal generating software, and modify the parameters and colour palettes until I get the results that I am looking for. Two or three layers usually define the main elements of the artwork, and then I add more subtle layers to add depth and complexity. I do not use AI to create these works, these are entirely human made creations!.

The source images are rendered to a massive 20,000 x 20,000 pixels to ensure the clarity of detail that makes fractals so fascinating is flawlessly captured. While this artwork will look great at any size, it is designed to be most impressive at sizes of 1 x 1 metre or more, mounted as art frame or canvas on 4.5cm thick frame.
