Description
fractals + painting + camera + scanner + way too much timeFinally finished. I had an idea and started working on this last year. I love abstract/conceptual work with 3D renders so I thought, why not do it with a fractal render? I made the main fractal (flowers) but my mom saw it and wanted it on her wedding invitations. I was really hesitant because this piece is how I saw them in my head. I agreed to use the render for her invitations, and was going to just abandon this piece forever but the idea wouldn't allow itself be killed so easily. I had a very specific image in my mind and had to learn all of the skills I needed to be able to see it on screen. I thought my mom might be pissed at me for vandalizing her invitation design, but luckily she likes it and I'll live to paint another day.

stunning, the motion of the artwork above with the motion of sea almost seems to connect and be intertwined with each other. The green splashes tend to let it feel a little off, not sure why, but it still works regardless. amazing piece

Wow... this is just amazing! I love the... simplicity of it... and yet... it's not that simple really. Cause there's a lot of detail, but also... oh my. I think I'm driven to just blabber when it comes to seeing something so awesome.
Great job... I just love the colors!

First of all, I have to say that I am a huge fan of abstract art. I have been studying for almost a year now and I understand the main messages that these artists tried to convey in the 1900's. An impressive display of details have been used in the past and still does in the modern generation of abstract painting. Your work belongs in this generation.
Second of all, even though I am not very attracted to pale and flashy colouring, your work attracts me for some reasons that I cannot explain.
Third of all, the effort you have put to this work is recognized. The details are amazingly displayed. The atmosphere is almost unexplainable.
To conclude, I think you belong in abstract art. Keep going in this direction, my friend.
