Art and Artist
In my artworks, the abstract world of mathematics becomes both visually and emotionally tangible. I explore mathematical concepts such as the Fibonacci sequence and prime factorization. Through the application of these concepts, aesthetic systems emerge that fascinate and open up new perspectives.
In 2020, I began my first series on the Fibonacci sequence. Since then, two additional series have emerged, focusing on prime numbers and prime factorization.
In 2023, I developed a technique to apply gold leaf with exceptional delicacy. The 24-karat gold in my works does not oxidize and retains its brilliant luster. While earlier works were created with gold paint, I now use real gold.
The deep midnight blue represents the mysterious darkness of the universe, while the radiant gold symbolizes the creative spirit.
I create my works manually, using a compass, ruler, and protractor, forging a synergy between precision, craftsmanship, and creativity.
For the optimal impact of my golden systems, I have found the 150 cm x 150 cm format to be ideal. The visualizations can also be adjusted to smaller canvas sizes.
