But…

That is because he is most famous for his mathematical tessellations, which are tiling shapes overlapping one another creating a pattern that could be endless. Instead of just using any old shape, he used animals and other objects that made it more difficult for him to…

Art has always been a passion of mine, no matter what the form. It has always been something that can appeal to all tastes, no matter how unusual they may be.
