Statement

Manipulation of digital images, and use of ray-tracing software can help you to concretize mathematical concepts. Either for giving you an idea of how a real object will look like, or to represent imaginary landscapes only computers can handle. 3D printing has opened new opportunities to make mathematical objects real; I am just beginning to explore this new world.

Artworks

Two representation of Dupin cyclide, outlined by their Villarceau-like circles. At Bridges 2015, I wrote a paper about Dupin Cyclides and their generation by means of Yvon-Villarceau circles. In the conclusion, I wrote, "The creation of real-word objects [..] is still to come.'' It is now time for me to come back to show some real-world tangible cyclides.
