Saorise reviews deGoya’s Fractal Art:
I surmise that this resident’s name is homage to Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. This artist is known as the last of the “Old Masters” and also the first of the “Moderns” as to artistic era. It was said that his worked influenced both Edouard Manet and Pablo Picasso. A very impressive namesake selected by our artist.
deGoya’s Fractal Art is more than the fractal art I most frequently view. Fractal art can be used to make some of the most beautiful creations using nature’s own formula. This reminds me of the first review I have wrote on fractal art at Gallery Sanguine Dictorem’ several weeks ago.
This SIM is very lovely with visitors arriving at a central location. There are connecting TP to various places including the gallery I visited Degoya Fractal Art. Simply click on the picture with deGoya Fractals and you get your TP. Taking the TP I find the gallery is located on a hillside overlooking the sea. Surrounded by fields of blue forget-me-not flowers, you can take a stroll down and around the hills with the pathway returning to the gallery. At the entrance to the gallery you are greeted by a notice that all funds are donated to Save the Children. This program is called “Heart: Healing and Education Through the Arts”. For more information, I have included the weblink in my footnotes.
Inside the gallery I image ocean breezes as I admire the simplistic opulence of cool white marble and rich dark draperies pulled aside. The center piece of the gallery decor is a crystal chandelier. This chandelier is the most beautiful one I have seen in world. It looks as if someone took a chandelier from first life and placed it here. A decorative aquarium with only blue and white completes the gallery ambiance.
In this beautiful surrounding, there is well spaced fractal art on displayed individually on easels. Fractals are a very unique form to work with in an image. Used by the creative mind of the artist, the ever increasing details of fractals can become beautiful and memorizing images. Fractals occur in nature naturally, many people are put off at the mention of fractals thinking of the mathematical explanation. In non-math terms, a fractal shares the spiral imaging, and it is a pattern that is repeated to smaller or to larger scales producing irregular shapes and surfaces.
Even though modeled on a computer, these can and do occur in nature. I promise :^) Or as I often think, recall what it is like to look through a kaleidoscope as it moves….very similar feeling but not as complex.
Our artist has predominately black bases for his images. This artist has not only created the fractal art but has also used addition steps in his process. Using one to two texture movement animations, the artist has created lovely images, each one unique. Colors moving, slowly not to quickly, to demonstrate the creation and the evolution of each images.
There are images where he uses a square background to compliment the geometry of the fractal Using the same idea, the artist also uses spherical backgrounds. Some images seem to disappear temporarily only to reappear systematically weaving colors before your eyes. The usages of geometric shapes, fractals and colors is very clever.
One image “White Lava STC” look like a spherical sculpture that comes apart, then rejoins itself in recreation. The detail is incredible in gold and silver. From across the room a lightning like image catches my eye. “Mechanical Flower” has a flower colored movement of dark green and reds with a stark purple lightning image coming through it. “Rose” has a red rose flower close then it opens again in a very slow seductive manner with gold tips. “Butterfly 2” has a very kaleidoscope feel in a square. True blue with butterflies in each it is hypnotic to watch.
One last note, the name of the SIM “La Orchila” is the name of a military base off of the coast of Venezuela, north of Caracas. It is likely that our artist is from Venezuela. Walking around the SIM is a lovely respite, interesting culture variations are enjoyable. Artfully Yours; Saoirse Heart aka Seersha
From the heading ~ la curación del corazón is spanish for “Healing the Heart ~
