There is always a bit of a mathematician in me, watching, analysing, and problem solving; especially when I make art. In this gallery I plan to publish some pieces where mathematics was used in a crucial and clear way. To start, I have added two drawings from the summer of 2016. One day I was walking in the park and the most amazing impression of the soft light filtering through the leaves caught my attention. I went home, got my colored pencils and markers, and sat myself under the tree; only to discover that the scene was way too complex to understand.

A difference bracelet consists of v beads. There are k beads of n colours and one black bead (v = k n + 1). The beads are arranged so that there are exactly λ equally coloured beads at each possible distance for every colour. The distance of a pair of beads is the number of moves to get from one to the other, either clockwise or counter-clockwise (every pair of beads has two distances). Such an arrangement is called a (v,k, λ) bracelet.

About 2400 years ago in Greece,
Plato perceived his vision of the Ideal World
in ELEUSIS under the influence of halucinogenic
substances such as ergot, the natural form of
LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide).
- Did he see the 5th element in the shape of Epitahedra forming the dodecahedron?
