Fractal art. It?s a form of algorithmic art created by calculating fractal objects and representing the calculation results as still images, animations.

So, geometric art is inspired from geometry.

It is designed and created with lines, circles, square and rectangles perfect or not.

Geometric art design comes in various types, size and shapes.

Abstract art was formed in the early 20th century by artists frustrated by following the same style of old painters.

Geometric art had a cult following in the early Greek period of 900 BC, as evident by concentric circles and other shapes on their vases and paintings.

A characteristic of geometric art is the perfect shapes, or not formed by curved or straight lines along or not a continuous path.

Artist Conclusion:

Objects come from simple shapes as: square, circle, triangle, rectangle, etc.

Geometric abstraction is an art form that uses basic geometric shapes.

If photography could capture any life form? Why realistic painting?

So I create the non existent things. The abstract ones. The geometrics ones. The very emotional ones. The vibrant ones. The colorful ones. The ?imazinarion? ones.

Remember that you can do it too.

That?s all for today.
