On the image above we see artwork
"The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Japanese artist
Hokusai, which was published in 1832 as the first in Hokusai's series
36 Views of Mount Fuji. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa; Mount Fuji can be seen in the background. The main reason of publishing this artwork here is highly detailed painted wave. As we know, some artworks, which are
close to fractal images by detailed elaboration, were created long before the inventing fractals by
Benoît Mandelbrot. Sea waves can be represented by many types of fractals, as you can see below.
Fractal artworks with waves are created by modern artists too. For example,
Robert Fathauer depicted a wave fractal with Escher-like fish tiling in his artwork "Fractal Fish - Grouped Groupers" (2001).
Also, a wave with horses figures are depicted on the cover of English rock group Keane "Under The Iron Sea" (2006).

this is an amazing example of a fractal wave inspired art.
I sometimes use maths as a starting point in my art.
The first picture is great, where'd you get it?
Oh, the first image is the famous Japanese artwork. You can find more information about it by following the the first link of the post.
Nice little site for some math-based art
