Statement

I am graduate of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computing in the University of Havana Cuba (1972) and Doctor of Pedagogy from the Moscow State Pedagogical University, Russia (1984). For more than 20 years I have studied the work of the Dutch designer M. C. Escher, simultaneously, I´ve had in charge for 17 years the elective course Escher, Geometry and Art. As a result of this work with my students I´ve presented exhibitions and presentations at various scientific events in several cities in Colombia and at international conferences in Argentina, Brazil (XIII CIAEM), South Korea (ICME-12), Germany (ICME 13) and the United States (CICIC 2019).

Artworks

Inspired by spirals, as a representation of evolution. This technique, which is developed in a finite radius disc, is based on hyperbolic geometry and Droste effect. The use of image processing programs, allows to make variations, that show us graphically, Lorenz's metaphor, also known as the butterfly effect.
