An important aspect of the art created by M.C. Escher is his use of mathematical concepts and principles to create visually stunning and intellectually challenging works. It often depicts impossible or paradoxical constructions, intricate tessellations, and mind-bending transformations that play with the viewer's perception of space, geometry, and reality.
Escher was fascinated by the interplay between art and mathematics, and he used his art to explore ideas such as infinity, symmetry, and perspective. He often employed complex mathematical concepts such as hyperbolic geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, and topology in his work, creating intricate designs and illusions that challenge the viewer's understanding of the world around them.
Escher's art is also notable for its meticulous attention to detail, as well as its technical virtuosity. He was a master of various printmaking techniques, including woodcut, lithography, and mezzotint, and he used these techniques to create richly textured and highly detailed compositions.
