Fractals in nature

Welcome to my colourful world! I create fractal art, mandalas and sacred geometry art that I then have printed on everyday functional items.

Discover the captivating world of fractal geometry in our in-depth blog post, "Exploring the Beauty of Fractal Geometry: From Nature to Art." Uncover the science behind the intricate patterns of fractals, marvel at their hidden symmetry in nature, and dive into the mesmerizing Mandelbrot Set.

Many forest canopies maintain mysterious gaps, called crown shyness, that could help trees share resources and stay healthy.

Its a Romanesco broccoli up close and fractal. Just like a sunflower heart, it is a true example of mathematics in nature. I think it is a striking vegetable - I crave novelty in food, so bought two for a Sunday roast. I steamed them lightly and served them naked, unfettered by cheese sauce. No bugger touched them. Had the lot meself. I smelled faintly rancid for a week.

I was curious, so I analyzed the geometry of the peacock's tail-feather display. Turns out the shape is a symmetrical phyllotaxis, which is somewhat surprising. Most phyllotaxis patterns in nature (like on pinecones, pineapples and sunflowers) have spirals of adjacent Fibonacci numbers (usually 5, 8, 13 or 21), but the peacock's feathers have the same count of spirals in both directions!
