Rafael Araujo is a Venezuelan architect and illustrator. Use nothing but pencils, rulers, and a compass to create her incredible and precise pieces to showcase the beauty of nature.
Raphael's illustrations stand out for the representation of the golden number, an irrational number represented by the Greek letter in honor of the Greek sculptor Phidias. An irrational algebraic number that has many interesting properties and was discovered in ancient times as the proportion between two segments of a line. This proportion is found both in some geometric figures and in nature.
In nature we can find it in the veins of the leaves, in the thickness of the branches, the shell of a snail or in the florets of sunflowers. Rafael's work is unique and leaves construction lines intact that form the mathematics of their illustrations. Some may have taken you more than 100 hours to complete.
Due to requests received for prints of his work, came up with the idea to produce a coloring book with some of his best illustrations. To bring the project to life, Rafael and his team in Sydney created a campaign in Kickstarter.
As you can see in the images it is a wonderful and beautiful work in which the sequence of butterflies or that of a shell demonstrate the degree of perfection of that set of mathematical calculations they are capable of projecting.
It is expected that for the month of June ordered books can begin to be shipped, since, from the initial goal of $ 27.000, at this time they have exceeded it by far to reach $ 219.789. A very special coloring book that can become the best gift for a loved one or a friend by being totally original and very creative.
