Vendy Fialkova - Owl Drawings

 

Mathematics is all about abstraction, a parallel universe inherently tied to our daily life. Stripping away insignificant details layer after layer allows us to explore the most intriguing phenomena across a range of disciplines.

The twin drawings portray an owl with different levels of abstraction. Each is a two dimensional representation of a living breathing creature but while the charcoal sketch focuses on the physical characteristics, the ink drawing preserves only the important shapes.
