The art of what if

Abstract

I have been enamoured by creativity sincemy childhood and developed instant love for the visual arts. My other fascinations and influences have been mathematics and philosophy. I consider these three as my guiding forces in life. I progressed to study Architecture in India, which further forgedmy interests and exposedme to a vast array of artists, architects, sculptors, and mathematicians; whom I am indebted to. This led to a journey of creation and experimentation with colours and forms; assisted by new mathematical techniques and influenced by philosophy. My works express the synergy between my interests and they aspire to achieve a balance and enliven themselves in the tactile world. My adulation for geometry and sculpture led me into designing puzzles and mathematical art. Some of the digital artworks and puzzles were displayed at the annual conferences held by The Bridges Organization, and have materialized into short research papers. These digital artworks contain a strong geometric theme and take names which epitomize its qualities. Phi-tri-CMY & GoldenOM (http://gallery.bridgesmathart.org/exhibitions/2014-bridges-conference/chimehta) to name a couple of them. On several occasions they are the result of an output from my mathematical research. One such example is given in Figure 1, and we shall understand its geometry.
