Celebrating the Beauty of Physics
My artworks are attempts at showing the beauty of the phenomenon - such as rainbow patterns caused by diffraction - and the beauty of the underlying mathematics.
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.
In a world of AI, I am exploring what it means to be a human creator - wielding pencils and code precisely and slowly.
In this shop, you find my art on useful things (merch), and on canvas prints with unique designed edges.
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 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 "The Subversive Element".
My art has been exhibited at the 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.
