Art on canvas looks great on any wall. It truly comes into its own with paintings featuring sharp brushstrokes.
Elke Stangl (elkement) (she/her) is an Austrian physics PhD working as an engineer. Her mathematical art is borne out of her life-long passion for the theoretical underpinnings of her craft. She is creating virtual three-dimensional structures from mathematical functions – digitally with code or with ruler and compass, using traditional techniques of descriptive geometry.
Her initial inspiration was Sir Roger Penrose’s book The Road to Reality, the hand-crafted…
