VORONOI RED TRIANGLE

Abstract compositions, geometric shapes and flat materials create a unique decorative universe. The voronoi diagram is a mathematical principle I like to explore. It’s a tessellation of the plane into adjacent cells, based on a discrete set of points called “seeds”.
The concept owes its name to the Russian mathematician Georgi Voronoi (1868-1908). It represents the decomposition of a metric space into adjacent cells, determined by the distances to a discrete set of objects in the space, a set of points. In the plane, cells are called Voronoi polygons. I add to these polygons various harmonious color palettes, both warm and cool. All the frames are different and vintage (Récup’ / chinages / brocantes… )

Allergic to maths and particularly bad at it all through school, I got the urge to explore this somewhat “infinite” mathematical concept, which takes its name from the Russian Voronoi. A friend explained it to me in a simple way, and I followed up with a few drawing tests. The result can be pushed as far as desired, right down to the infinitely small triangle. I love the volume and 3D effects created by these triangles and colors, and the contemporary touch of these triangles, which go with any type of decor.
