A portal to the unknown

No matter if you stumbled upon this page because of your love for art, your curiosity toward new technologies, your passion for everything that reminds of nature, the infinitely big and the infinitely small, or purely by chance, here is the perfect place to awaken your imagination and renew your inspiration.

A portal to the unknown, Fractal And is a creative matrix of fractal art, which is just one of the many branches of digital art. Fractal art foremost involves mathematics, such as algebraic formulas or Cartesian coordinates. Therefore, the computing power of modern computers (and even that of mobile devices) becomes nearly essential in the creation of very high resolution fractal images.

Mother Nature herself is certainly the greatest of all fractal artists. Every single thing surrounding us is fractal — from that of a tiny snowflake to the shape of a mountain, from the ramifications of a tree to those of a river. These thrilling phenomena are the primary source of my inspiration, for a keen eye knows that nature abounds in fractals; thus fractals, in turn, are imbued with nature.

Behind Fractal And is a curious individual named Jonathan Huot. Based in the City of Québec, Canada, I have been creating fractal artwork for over 10 years now. Translator and terminologist by training, on top of being a great lover of drawing and photography, I became interested in fractal art because of its ability to achieve patterns and textures of infinite precision and to produce images of unusual yet familiar beauty.

I mainly use Mandelbulb3D, Chaotica and Apophysis7x on PC, and Mandelbrowser on Android. Each software works in a completely different way, which means that each of them allows for extremely varied results.
