About the Artist...
Hello.
My name is Chris Sifniotis and I have been practicing the niche of fractal art for nearly a decade, inspired by music and the wonderful detail in the pictures I saw in my youth. I first discovered fractals from a friend in high school who also dabbled in fractal art. He showed me the tool to his craft and ever since I become embroiled in the hidden beauty of mathematics. At the same time I also came across the Essential Jean Michel Jarre album in a music store, this would be the beginning of a creative powerhouse that affected my artwork from then on. Very nearly all of my pieces are inspired by the music of Jean Michel Jarre; I believe that music is as much a form of art than a painting or sculpture, and it is largely underrated by popular music and the recording industry. My pieces are designed to evoke the pieces of music I hear, and what I see when I hear it.
Jarre famously said 'I want people to see my music.' I hope I achieve this through my art and I hope you enjoy my pieces.
About Fractal Art...
Fractal Art is a relatively new and unique form of digital art, combining university level mathematics with colors, graphic effects and visually stunning zooming into the infinite details of the graphs. Since the mid-1980's fractals have begun to appear as a form of creative expression. Fractals are mathematics sets with what is called an unusually high fractal dimension, an index for characterizing sets by quantifying their complexity as a ratio of the change in detail to the change in scale. In plain English, a fractal is a graph of a set of integers in a complex equation, as one zooms into a segment of the graph the detail remains just as sharp. The detail of fractals is infinite, no matter how far you zoom into a segment of a border, the image it generates is sharp and very detailed. Some fractals are what is called self-similar, meaning the original pattern of the graph can be found in the detail of the fractal, sometimes exactly the same, most of the times they are similar but harbor slight differences. The complex equations make for vivid patterns, some even appear to look like the leaves of ferns. Fractals can be found in fern leaves, in fact a lot of nature is a fractal. Look carefully, you may find them in clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, snowflakes and frost crystals, even DNA!
Fractals are in essence a natural formation of chaos.
