Statement
I continue to develop my proper SW in order to achieve unusual graphic images which cannot be comparable with products of commercial graphic programs. Inside my program algorithms I try to apply my own ideas and new programming methodologies combined with different mathematical theorems. In this way I’m free to experiment different approaches and unusual ideas in generating digital images. In the same time I want to balance the technological and artistic value of an artwork.

Approach used: diving into deformed Mandelbrot fractal, Fibonacci numbers.
The image is composed of two layers which were found somewhere in the depth of a deformed Mandelbrot fractal. Each layer was painted with a different coloring palette. The Mandelbrot formula for iterations is so modified that the fractal partially loses its standard view. The process uses color palette in the form of colored gradients made using Fibonacci sequence.

Approach: drawing of a symmetric object, Fibonacci numbers
Program draws a symmetric shape in central position of the image using algorithm based on polar coordinates of the elaborating point. The object fuses with the background against the edges. Process repeats several times, decreasing the size until the central object is still recognizable. Every cycle uses another formulas and another coloring palette. The coloring palette is created in a form of colored gradients using Fibonacci sequence.
