Of Mind Intermingled With Matter | A Mixed Media Art Project
For my current mixed media art project, I wanted to share a beautiful pure fractal that I created in the advanced version of the fractal rendering program Apophysis. The fractal features swirls inbrown, black, aqua, and gold. The pattern resembles a kaleidoscope.
To the fractal, I combined two other free-sourced images I felt would enhance the fractal by infusing an ethereal quality. Of course, I love female model images to work with. Second, fire and flames add a bold and dramatic burst to the scene. Below are the other images I used:
I then uploaded the images into Canva, my design program, to blend the elements. I leave with you my procedures which began with a blank, white canvas. I then add layers of elements in accordance with my upgraded Annual Pro Membership that includes tools to remove backgrounds, resize, filter, duplicate, and reposition items as required.

Below is my final project from the Canva blend.
I wanted to experiment with filters. One of the programs I use to apply unique filters that change the perspective of the original image is PIXLR. This program is dynamic in its tools and features.
So, I uploaded my original project into PixLR. On the tools Menu, I chose the filter REFLECT. This particular filter provides you twelve (12) different positions utilizing parts of the photo. I love how the program meshes the human image and the fractal and flames.
In this first version, the female image is duplicated. The program provides you different angles of duplication. The first photo's double female image lies to the left hand side. The second double female face is flipped to the right. The fractal is enlarged into a single image as a black and white design, while .
In this second version, the female image is tripled. I love how the shape of the fractal is designed. I think I like the second image the best just because of the way the three heads are positioned on the fractal design with the fractal at the top of the screen.
In this third version, four images of the female's lips are visible. The Eyes are concentrated in the center as one. The first image shows a black and white background. The second one displays the various colors in the original photos.
In this fourth version, I decided to use the fractal and fire only in different positions. In the second image, the female face is embedded behind the flames.
Thanks for taking the time to view my post. I hope you like my mixed media art project.

I like this one and the fractals in it! ;)
also the psychedelic style...
Yes, the psychedelic look of a kaleidoscope was interesting in how the program mixed it. I was pleased with the result. Thanks so much for your visit and kind compliment. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.

I would greatly appreciate it if your future publications included the Spanish translation. This way I would have access to a larger audience.
Hello @geyler13. I appreciate you stopping by to view my project. On the majority of my writing projects, I do provide a Spanish translation and do have a wider audience.
Taking the time to include a translation on the numerous parts of my mixed media art projects is time-consuming and I did exactly that in the past. Just like the lovely reply you left me in Spanish a couple days ago that I then took to DeepL to translate before leaving you a response. Either way, it takes time for the author or reader to retrieve a translation.
Last year, I considered including a translation section for my mixed media art projects in 2025 and will set that up for future projects.
Take care.
Hola @geyler13. Te agradezco que te hayas pasado a ver mi proyecto. En la mayoría de mis proyectos de escritura, proporciono una traducción al español y tengo un público más amplio.
Tomarse el tiempo para incluir una traducción en las numerosas partes de mis proyectos de arte de medios mixtos es mucho tiempo y yo hice exactamente eso en el pasado. Como la encantadora respuesta que me dejaste en español hace un par de días, que luego llevé a DeepL para traducir antes de dejarte una respuesta. En cualquier caso, tanto al autor como al lector les lleva tiempo recuperar una traducción.
El año pasado me planteé incluir una sección de traducción para mis proyectos artísticos de técnica mixta en 2025, y lo haré para futuros proyectos.
Cuídate.

As stated in my post, for my current mixed media art project, I wanted to share my pure fractal I created in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X. I rendered it on a transparent background. A fractal is as visual representation of a complex mathematical equation.
If you search for "Apophysis", you'll see that it's a fractal rendering program that you have to first download to your computer to use. The earlier version is 2.09. I use the advanced version 7X.
I think there are YouTube tutorials that explain how the program works.
OR, you can view my tutorial I prepared a few years ago.

Como dije en mi post, para mi actual proyecto de arte de técnica mixta, quería compartir mi fractal puro que creé en el programa de renderizado fractal avanzado, Apophysis 7X. Lo rendericé sobre un fondo transparente. Un fractal es la representación visual de una ecuación matemática compleja.
Si buscas «Apophysis», verás que es un programa de renderizado fractal que primero tienes que descargar en tu ordenador para poder usarlo. La versión anterior es la 2.09. Yo uso la versión avanzada 7X.
Creo que hay tutoriales en YouTube que explican cómo funciona el programa.
O, puedes ver mi tutorial que preparé hace unos años.
