Hi Noda Kami, I came to say thank you the favourting of my paintings, and to my delight found this beautiful piece. I have had a painting half formed in my mind with similar colours texture that I haven’t been quite able to fully form. You’ve given me some idea’s! Really lovely work, the details are just stunning, hard to believe it isn’t a painting.
all the best,
Lea

Amazing work. I love the composition and pattern combinations.

Thanks Lea, I’m glad it gave you some ideas. It’s actually funny as I felt I had had a similar vision as yours prior to making it, which only appeared once finished. Hmmm…. thanks actually, this gave me another idea !
Im glad to hear people care about the details !

A beautiful image, theme and idea

I admire the creativity that was used in creating this piece. It’s not a typical fractal; this actually reminds me of something like drawing made by one of the famous inventors of ancient Greece.

The texturing does give it an aged look. Very nice.

The darker tones in this could do the work appeal to me more than should – but they are truly both mater pieces.

Hi Nodakami
This work looks modern yet it wouldn’t look out of place in Da Vinci’s notebooks. Nicely put together and aged.
