Inspired by antique technical drawings, MC Escher's art and Sir Roger Penrose's hand-crafted physics illustrations, I aim at creating scientific visualizations that could - or should - be mistaken for engimatic abstract art that stands on its own.
I am writing about this in detail on my blog https://elkement.art.
About elkement
I have worked on superconductors, heat pumps, and public key infrastructures. Software development has been part of all my jobs. Now I am also funneling all of that into my art!
My name is Elke Stangl, and elkement is an amalgam of my first name and my long-term internet alias (Subversive) Element.
My art has been exhibited at the 2024 Mathematical Art Digital Exhibition at Queens College, New York.
Formal education: MSc/PhD in applied physics, MSc in renewable energy engineering.
Informal education: Life-long tinkering with software and websites.
Education I never figured I would need one day: High-school classes in traditional descriptive geometry.

The elkement Art store offers B2B art licensing for wall art for any art created by elkement (as you see it on my blog or social media). I have also designed merch for a selection of these artworks. If you are interested in a specific artwork on a specific merch product, get on touch - I might make that happen on request if the design is suitable to be printed on that product!
