About the Artist - and Why ???

When I saw for the first time the illusionworks by a Swiss artist Sandro Del-Prete (born 1937 in Bern), I have got immediately into "resonance" with his visions.

I had been looking for some fine art that would convey the structure of scientific knowledge as I see it: a blend of language and meta-language, experiment and theory, data and models, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, prior and posterior, mind and language, language and reality, reality and illusions ... By the way, such a multi-level knowledge is prone to logical contradictions even in the realm of pure mathematics. Yet deeper logical contradictions arise in language structures of theoretical physics and all natural sciences, where we are still waiting for our Bertrand Russell or Kurt Goedel ... And of course, some very tricky forms of many illusions are readily available in a language of philosophy and politics.

In my opinion, Sandro's art ("illusorism") is not only beautiful, clever and imaginative, but may be also scientifically inspirative.

Thank you, Sandro!
