[[Scott Draves]] is credited with inventing flame fractals. [[Carlos Ginzburg]] has explored fractal art and developed a concept called "homo fractalus" which is based around the idea that the human is the ultimate fractal.<ref name="cagi">{{cite web |url=http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/leonardo/v034/34.1ginzburg.html |title=Carlos Ginzburg |year=2001 |work=[[Leonardo (journal)|Leonardo]] |publisher=[[Leonardo, The International Society of the Arts, Sciences and Technology|Leonardo/ISAST]], the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology |access-date=October 29, 2011 }}</ref> Merrin Parkers from New Zealand specialises in fractal art.<ref name="hfn">{{cite book |title=Heaven's fractal net: retrieving lost visions in the humanities, Volume 1 |last=Jackson |first=William Joseph |year=2004 |publisher=Indiana University Press |isbn=0-253-21620-6 |page=116 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=U0rJz7FC2z8C |access-date=October 30, 2011}}</ref>

{{blockquote|Fractal Art is a subclass of two-dimensional visual art, and is in many respects similar to photography—another art form that was greeted by skepticism upon its arrival. Fractal images typically are manifested as [[Printmaking|prints]], bringing fractal artists into the company of painters, photographers, and printmakers. Fractals exist natively as electronic images. This is a format that traditional visual artists are quickly embracing, bringing them into Fractal Art's digital realm. Generating fractals can be an artistic endeavor, a mathematical pursuit, or just a soothing diversion. However, Fractal Art is clearly distinguished from other digital activities by what it is, and by what it is not.<ref name=manifesto/>}}

According to Mitchell, fractal art is not computerized art, lacking in rules, unpredictable, nor something that any person with access to a computer can do well. Instead, fractal art is expressive, creative, and requires input, effort, and intelligence. Most importantly, "fractal art is simply that which is created by Fractal Artists: ART."<ref name=manifesto/>
