Nautilus, nature’s cycles carved in stone

 

“The Golden Mean with the aspect ratio of Φ ≈ 1.618 results in the famous Fibonacci Spiral, a central design principle in art and architecture. This principle combines the complementary geometric shapes of the circle and the square. Due to its harmonising effect it can be understood as a symbol of the connection between spirit and matter and the perfect equilibrium between chaos and order, movement and stasis…” 

Gold-pigment painting and photographic technique, dimensions: 33 × 40 cm

The artist understands The Golden Ratio as the “universal signature of the living principle”. The artist explores the “Proportio Divina” (divine proportion), which appears as the mysterious formula 1:Φ in natural structures of the microcosm and macrocosm.” curator, Joanna Kiliszek
