Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 - 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M.C. Escher (IPA: ['ɛsjər]), was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically-inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations.

I am interested in this Dutch artist for his close relationship with mathematics. Its disturbing pictures, such as that presented in the article, where the water always flows (ascending and descending) are impossible to make, but it clearly is possible to represent mathematically, so that we can draw it.
We approach the fractal geometry, a treaty theNEURON content. We can see iterations of geometric forms, partitions, space tends to infinity, so the author tries to help us conceive abstract concepts such as infinity.
Mr. Escher is another clear example of how mathematics can be an exquisite art, along with astronomy, astrophysics, particle physics. For me, I have collected evidence that mathematics is the language of God, allowing the description of the universe, from the flapping of a butterfly, going to the brain humando and ending in the Big Bang.
For me, the artist, help me to conceive of concepts such as quasi specular symmetry of the universe. Physicists, we illustrate the essence of matter, it must have what is called antimatter, which is almost symmetrical to the area but in another dimension.
