Fractal paintings originated at the intersection of painting and technology to explore virtual reality, a new dimension brought by the digital age. Discovering the potential of fractal geometry for art, Szczerbowski draws these virtual structures into the real world and materializes them as painterly subjects. He is inspired by the similarity of forms created as a result of purely mathematical operations and using a machine (but not AI) to astonishing motifs, often psychedelic, known from the sphere of human imagination, which have previously manifested themselves in, among others, art and religion.
The Mandelbrot set is an iconic fractal, the first to give rise to fractal geometry in the 1980s. It also served as the starting point for Robert Szczerbowski's entire Cybercanvases series.
