The impossible triangle, a symbol of perception versus reality and a reminder that appearances can be misleading. Created by artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934 and later popularized by mathematician Roger Penrose in the 1950s, it depicts a triangle made of three 3D beams that seamlessly connect at right angles in a continuous loop. Beyond the illusion, Roger Penrose used the triangle to symbolize his philosophy of human consciousness and the interconnectedness of three realms: the mathematical world, the physical world, and the mental world. 30” x 30” - acrylic on canvas
