Description Dear followers,

My name is Samuel and Nic022 (Eric O.) was my father.

It is with a great sadness that I have to inform you of his death, on 14 February 2017 after a short and difficult battle with pulmonary cancer.

My dad was an artist and a great human being, passionate about his creations, music and sculpture.

I was following his Deviantart account, looking at every one of his renders and he was following my projects as a photographer.

In fact, he was rendering most of his creations on a very powerful computer I had given him (I was working as a 3D artist before) and I also gave him a lot of different softwares, which he then mastered and became even better than me. Watching him evolve and create more and more impressive digital art made me very proud of my dad. He loved fractals and often talked to me about his recent artworks, work in progress and methods.

I don't have the words to express how I feel, but I assure you that he loved every comments you made on his art.

DeviantArt has given him a lot of happiness during his last 4 years.

I will keep this profile online, in memory of his work.
I also have on my desk some of his 3D printed fractals and objects from Shapeways:

Thank you for being a part of his life.

Sincerely,
Samuel Zeller

i downloaded loads of his works and really love them - he inspired me a lot in my own work, which is photomanipulations - i often wondered how he managed to make this incredible amount of superbe works...
i haven´t been much on dA lately, because since about two or three years i´m more into music - now that i read this news, i first couldn´t believe it, i have tears in my eyes - your father was a good man, i very much liked his friendly way of answering every comment...
i hope the sun shines for you and wish you all the best...
greetings from germany

Really sorry to read of your loss Samuel. Without fail your dad would always leave words of encouragement on my work. I think we probably followed each other on here right from when he joined. I was always amazed at how prolific he was and I along with lots of others will surely miss seeing his creations here on DeviantArt.

LikeWalkngUnderwater [2017-02-25 06:20:27 +0000 UTC]

He was a magnificent artist. I don't recall having seen too much of his work but I do remember seeing his pieces come up every so often in the 'Undiscovered' section and it eventually led to me watching him a little while back.

His fractal work is of much higher standard than what I normally see, one of the best I've seen most definitely.

I'm glad you're keeping this account up, he was a talent and inspiration no doubt to those that watched him. I wish all the best for you and your family in this tough time Samuel.
