M.C. Escher was a Dutch graphic artist who explored the artistic possibilities of repetitive patterns, tessellation and infinity.

His works are characterized by optical illusions where there is no beginning or end in sight, and they have inspired many other artists to push the boundaries of their craft. His work has been described as an example of “odd reality” — he created impossible landscapes that don’t exist in real life, but that still feel as if they could be somewhere hidden in our world.

There is something particularly fascinating about seeing repeating patterns with no visible end or beginning — it suggests an infinite world beyond what we can see and inspires us to go out into this unknown territory ourselves. He was always seeking to find new ways of representing the world around him, and in doing so he created some of the most iconic images in art history.

He is particularly famous for his piece titled "Relativity", where the viewer sees a never-ending tunnel of interlocking lines and geometric forms. Escher's art is a powerful reminder of just how complex and awe-inspiring our world can be. Each part is intricately connected to every other part in an endless web of complexity, beauty, and wonder.

This is a reality we can all relate to, as our own lives are also interwoven with the lives of countless others. When I look at Escher's artwork, I am reminded that no matter how complex or chaotic things may seem on the surface, there is an order and beauty within us all that connects us in ways we cannot always see. Every life has value and interconnectedness; and no matter what challenges we face or accomplishments we achieve, we are all part of something much larger.

Escher’s work continues to be admired and studied by artists, mathematicians, and scientists all over the world.
