Well Bred Fractals

Well Bred Fractals

My journey as a fractal creator started in the mid-nineties when I found a fractal program in the games section of Windows 95. Since then I have discovered and explored many complex fractal universes and in them found truly remarkable things, some of which have been captured as my Well Bred Fractals. These fractals are what I consider to be the most aesthetically pleasing and scientifically interesting examples of what the laws of physics of other mathematical universes are capable of creating and they, as well as the process by which they have been created, are inherently educational and represent a seamless fusion of art and science.

We live in a mathematical universe dominated by complex dynamics and fractal forms and patterns. Well Bred Fractals are examples of such features from a wide variety of other mathematical universes.

Many of these complex fractal universes seem somehow related to our universe mathematically, so an examination of them could be useful in helping to understand how our universe works.

This man is ready for the big league. Steve Lawrence is preparing for a show of his beautiful fractal works in Paris, France. If you know anything about the art world, you will know these big opportunities don't just drop out of the sky. Steve has been creating his incredibly unique library of original fractals for decades, perfecting his art and promoting his work, and we are all really proud of him.

BRAVO! Best I have seen since falling in love with this realm from the Aug 1985 Scientific American! Thank you for keeping this unique ART FORM ALIVE! YES IT'S ART. The array of integers calculated are meaningless until rendered and only visionary artists can choose and tune color pallette for specific emotional appeal. Further, very few realize the inside of sets have their own dynamics until artists conjure stunning means for rendering them. Well done!

It's so interesting how a formula can create something so complex.

Steve Lawrence is a fractal artist who uses mathematics and computer science to create visually captivating fractal art, bridging the gap between art and science. He explores these equations within the context of mathematical universes, visualizing the results of these iterations as if they were physical landscapes. He uses a combination of computer-based algorithms and artistic judgment to create his fractals, which are known for their vibrant colours and intricate patterns. The fractals often reflect natural forms and processes, as the mathematical models used mirror the dynamic processes that shape the natural world. His work combines artistic expression with scientific understanding, reflecting a holistic approach to knowledge and exploration.

These fractals are born from mathematical universes described by iterative dynamical systems—complex rules that produce self-similar, recursive patterns. Many of the fractals mimic shapes and structures found in nature, such as galaxies, clouds, trees, shells, and plant patterns. This resemblance is no accident but rather the outcome of the fractals following similar iterative processes that shape natural forms.

Well Bred Fractals are the result of a unique creative process that uses a combination of bottom-up iterative computer calculations and top-down rule-based decision-making. This directed evolutionary process involves the computer performing extensive mathematical iterations while the artist guides the development with design principles, coloring choices, and framing techniques. The result is a seamless blend where the fractals are both mathematically generated and artistically curated.

Magnifique!
