Having experimented with different media, I chose mathematical fractal image making as one of the newest and most wonderful common areas between mathematics and art. Most of my fractal works of art are simultaneous combinations of traditional Euclidean and modern fractal mathematics and geometry that provide many impossible forms, things, terms, and qualities which would not be possible in lonely Euclidean or fractal mathematics or any other area without the aid of professional computing.

This fractal tiling is based on an endless spiral repetition of enormous six-pointed pinwheels. What has made it more interesting is its coloring which has produced the illusion of waviness, while everything throughout the tiling is geometrically straight. This kind of centrifugal tiling shows the power of the endlessness of fractals on a more evident level, because the basic constituent tiles do not deform during their travel toward the center.
