De lijndikte en kleurintensiteit wordt bepaald door de factor Phi.
A geometric presentation in black and white of a trapezium. Created using the Fibonacci numbers 13 and 21 as line segments. Also Phi and √2 play a measurable role in this design. The trapezia are "trapped" in a cadre of 34x34cm.
The line width and color intensity is determined by the factor of Phi.

I am a professional designer with a background in architecture, interior design and product development and still active.
After high school I went to the famous Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, a university of applied sciences. I studied Architectural Design (5 yrs) and have a BA in Art & Design.
Inspiration: For an assignment to design a cabinet of curiosities I used the number sequence of Fibonacci, an Italian mathematician from the 12th century. The number sequence of Fibonacci reads as 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, 55, 89 etc., where a number is always the sum of the previous two numbers. The interesting thing is that when you divide a number in this sequence with the previous number, the result is almost the Golden Ratio (e.g. 21:13 = 1.615). After successfully completing the design (and fascinated by Fibonacci) I wondered how I could display this sequence as attractive 2D graphics. In 2019 I completed the 1st series "Exploration" of 13 designs. End of 2020 a second serie will appear and so on... You wil find more information at the website phi2art
