Infinity
People have difficulty imagining infinity. They are surrounded by finiteness. Only time and space seem infinite to them. According to the Church, there is the eternity of time and according to the Starship Enterprise, there are infinite expanses of space.
Mathematicians have brought more clarity to infinity. They have also defined a sign for infinity: ∞
They even distinguish between several degrees of infinity. However, statements by mathematicians about infinity often sound paradoxical. For example, mathematician David Hilbert showed that a hotel with an infinite number of rooms, all of which are already occupied, can still accommodate an infinite number of new guests. In doing so, he also showed the paradoxical formula below:
Fibonacci Art and Infinity
My Fibonacci art deals with abstract, mostly geometric objects whose dimensions are Fibonacci numbers. This results in works in which the interplay of the individual objects is greater than their sum. One senses an inherent harmony in them. The Fibonacci number sequence grows exponentially and expands into infinity. There is no last Fibonacci number. And so every Fibonacci artwork can grow to infinity.
Steffi Düsterhöft
Steffi Düsterhöft‘s paintings invite you to pause, discover and relax. The pictures radiate lightness and depth and allow you to feel the artist’s gentleness and energy.
