For 20 years I have studied in detail the work of M. C. Escher. I have
been in charge of the Escher Geometry and Art course for more than 15
years at the Universidad de los Andes. In this course students make
designs inspired in the work of Escher. Finally I have come to build
my own digital art proposal inspired by the work of Escher. The
Symmetric Asymmetries series consists of more than 200 jobs. You can
see some of them in my Instagram account.
In his woodcut Snakes Escher juxtaposes three serpents drawn in
the Euclidean plane on an interpretation of the hyperbolic disc of
Henry Poincare.
In symmetrical asymmetries three and four we have been inspired by
this work. We start with the design of a wallpaper with the Java
Kali program. We colored it with the Gimp program and transformed
it into an oil painting. Finally we make a hyperbolic
transformation with the web resource published by Malin
Christersson.
If we observe at the work Symmetric asymmetries 4, we can find some similarities with the work Symmetric asymmetries 3. In this case we have started from the same initial design in the Euclidean plane, but a small variation has been made in effecting the hyperbolic transformation, which results in a very different configuration; it is an graphic allegory to the Lorenz metaphor.
