ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In geometry, a dodecahedron (Greek δωδεκάεδρον, from δώδεκα dōdeka "twelve" + ἕδρα hédra "base", "seat" or "face") is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron, which is a Platonic solid. There are also three regular star dodecahedra, which are constructed as stellations of the convex form. All of these have icosahedral symmetry, order 120. The pyritohedron, a common crystal form in pyrite, is an irregular pentagonal dodecahedron, having the same topology (in terms of its vertices as a graph) as the regular one but pyritohedral symmetry while the tetartoid has tetrahedral symmetry. The rhombic dodecahedron, seen as a limiting case of the pyritohedron, has octahedral symmetry. The elongated dodecahedron and trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron variations, along with the rhombic dodecahedra, are space-filling. There are numerous other dodecahedra. While the dodecahedron shares many features with other Platonic solids, one unique property of them is that one can start at a corner of the surface and draw an infinite number of straight lines across the figure that return to the original point without crossing over any other corner. These works are also offered in limited editions for sizes larger than those presented here. Ask for prices and sizes I recommend sound effects to enhance the effect

Graña Roberto
Uruguay
I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in a home of professional parents and currently I live there with my family. My first stable work experiences were in the area of science. My interests and concerns have always been multiple and varied in the intellectual and artistic area. I was captivated by geometry and mathematics. I am very sensitive to beauty in general and, delving into geometry, I found my artistic streak. I compare my life experience with a polyhedron since I have always acted in many dimensions trying to increase and improve its facets. Art, beauty and harmony were my ideals and goals of all my activities. I was inspired by the Renaissance Artists and their research in arithmetic and geometry. At one point in my research I discovered that digital art with the latest 3D math software development allowed me to express what I felt. This allowed me to recreate in a virtual environment the most essential volumes of humanity whose history can be traced today from the Neolithic with a mathematical precision never achieved before and make an art of it and walk in the REAL SEARCH OF TRUTH THROUGH THE BEAUTY . I mean the 5 regular polyhedra All my studies and research related to art are personal and self-taught, supported by the shoulders of giants of my ancestors, driven by my enthusiasm and creativity. The first recognition I received was from those few who in different parts of the world expressed their pleasure for the first images that I spread on facebok, then came a beautiful interview in the magazine peripheral_arteries_art Collections that include his work Kepler's Cosmos - Roberto's Cover Grana both the interior illustration and other forms of illustration related to this volume. including but not limited to advertising. book: Lumen Naturae: Visions of Space in Art and Mathematics Prof. Matilde Marcolli Spring 2019 MIT Press is a university press affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
