From a project, never realized, proposed to Escher by a mathematician friend. It was a suggestion he had received regarding the mathematical concept of Reimann space: a space delimited by a circle in which, on either side, there were two worlds that somehow interpenetrated each other while remaining on different planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began to think about what could fit into these spaces, and I remembered a photograph taken in the 1980s at the Alhambra in Granada, in which a circular pool filled with water reflected the external architecture. This is why it is placed at the center of the design, and I started from there to add the other elements.<\/p>\n\n\n

I had this large panel at my disposal, and I think it was the right choice for representing various levels of reality connected to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is something reminiscent of Escher, yet different. The path that the eye follows makes it all surprising and impossible to take in at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

representation: the three graces reaching out to a fruit transformed from a geometric pattern, all appearing on a curtain connecting the various levels. No one had considered this design; chance does not exist, and I found the right image to create the entire context of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
