About nature, art and math
NATURE: Manuela Gaßner spent most of her childhood and youth in the urban garden of her grandfather among flowers, vegetables and fruit trees. There her love of nature developed.
ART: At an early stage, her creative output and her love of art developed, which has since adopted a variety of expression forms. Why and how were important questions, so the interest in art history followed.
MATH: Besides art, Manuela Gassner has a weakness for mathematics, which is almost the "same". For example, think of the "golden ratio", math caught !!! In the hexagonal honeycomb structure of the bees, the Fibonnaci sequence in the arrangement of sunflower seeds, the Golden Angle in red cabbage, the fractal structure of Romanesco, the golden section in the ivy leaf, the logarithmic spiral of Nautilus shells and the scales of a pine cone and there are also the "Mandelbrot Quantity", the "Moebius strip", the "Menger Sponge", the "Voronoi Polygons" AND the "Number Phi". Mathematics also includes statistics, which is so logically logical and explanatory. Wonderful!
Conclusion: Because nature is the greatest artist ever, the circle of nature, art and mathematics is connected!
Next Events and what tells the press.
