SiljaSelonen

My high school math teacher told me that even if I was an artist, I’d need to know math. I didn’t believe him. Luckily, Finland based artist Silja Selonen knew better! Ah, yes… her paintings are a beautiful marriage of art and science {in the form of oil & gesso on wood}. Here are her words about these works:

“When studying in Art-Academy I did my written thesis about art and science, and this theme follows me. To me, those beautiful mathematical shapes represent the invisible world – time, energy, matter, gravity – but also emotions and awareness.”

Lovely. Happy Monday… to you too, Mr.Keane.

    Art and math – a perfect combination.

    I only wish my mathematics teachers would have talked to me more using Mandelbrot’s theory or the Fibonacci sequences….even music theory like the Bach Well tempered Clavichord…I would hAVE ‘GOT IT’.
