One of the most beautiful aspects of nature is the incredible richness of patterns, lines and geometry we can find in animals, landscapes and the very fabric of nature itself. When you look into it you find an ever greater amount of intricate patterns developing before your eyes which makes you wonder what is behind all this art.
It was a British scientist called Alan Turing who studied the creative patterns in nature and concluded that every living organism, from the simplest cells to the most detailed plants, must be made with a mathematical basis which produces this art in nature. Turing came to the conclusion that all the geometry patterns in living beings were the direct result of what he termed ‘invisible mathematical processes’. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras had alluded to this more than 2000 years ago when attempting to interpret the entire physical world in terms of numbers.
In the Fotoviva Art Prints image collections we have many examples of patterns in nature, from the Nautilus mollusk with spiral shell and the incredibly intricate lines of a sun-lit leaf to the patterns in sand created by water and markings on animal fur. Things as simple as the shape of broccoli stems to the lines on a zebra all h
