The Art of Infinity with @killythirsk

For more of Killy’s fractal art, follow @killythirsk on Instagram.

Some artists work with paint, paper or pottery. But Killy Thirsk (@killythirsk) uses mathematical formulas to create his mesmerizing fractal art. Based in Indonesia, Killy is part of a global community of math-based artists who draw inspiration from the self-repeating nature of fractal algorithms. “Fractals have infinite detail: In theory, you can zoom in and out without limit,” he says. Using Web-based editing software, Killy is able to render fractal formulas as vibrant, spiraling patterns resembling flowers, waves and celestial bodies. “I know what the art will look like, but the result surprises me … when the render is done, sometimes I sit silently admiring the result.”

Though math is essential to the complexity of his works, Killy’s creative process sounds like that of many artists: “Sometimes [there are] days when I cannot figure out how to convey my imagination through the program.” One of his current projects remains unfinished. What stands in the way? “My PC’s rendering capabilities.”
