Fractal Art: Complex and Beautiful Color Inspiration

A fractal is generally “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,”[1] a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning “broken” or “fractured.”

Fractals in Nature

Approximate fractals are easily found in nature. These objects display self-similar structure over an extended, but

finite, scale range. Examples include clouds, snow flakes, crystals, mountain ranges, lightning, river networks,

cauliflower or broccoli, and systems of blood vessels and pulmonary vessels. Coastlines may be loosely considered fractal

in nature.
