There are two processes in the generation of fractal images: the first is discovery, by which the dreamer identifies the visual representation of the mathematical fractal reality that appeals to their imagination; the second is creativity, by which the artist interprets their findings and portrays them visually. The first stage corresponds to the machine and the domain of —guided— randomness, or unconsciousness; the second one, building upon the former, pertains to the artist and corresponds to the domain of control, of consciousness. Although the interplay between these two phases is constant, the second one is where I place the beginning of fractal art: when aesthetic takes command of framing, parameters, variables and color leading deliberately to significance. That’s the point in the creative process that only an artist can determine.
