Artist’s works "My works have no titles, it's a metaphor without facilitation. Everything is visible."

K-Dron The name of the K-DRON comes from the word dron, which in Greek means the wall, and k is the eleventh letter of the Latin alphabet. Depending on the size of the angle alpha k-dron may be steeper or flatter.

When the angle equals 30 degrees these two elements can be placed together to form a hexagon. When angle alpha equals 45 degrees two k-drons form a cube. While three identical pyramids form a cube, twelve will form a k-dron.

Architecture – applications on walls and ceilings

Packaging – objects can be put inside the k-dron and it’s easy to place it together with another identical element.

Furniture – allows for secure placement along a variety of planes Furniture – allows for secure placement along a variety of planes. Two elements create a cube base for a table.

K-dron with angle alpha 45 degree is especially interesting K-dron with angle alpha 45 degree is especially interesting. Two elements placed together form a cube. When they are colorful, then we have an unusual toy. Children can build many unique figures and it’s more creative than making figures from cubes

Golden ratio In 2000, the artist discovered new, previously unknown principles of the golden ratio and presented them at mathematical conferences at American and Polish universities. His articles appeared in the mathematical periodicals of the United States and Japan. He combined golden and silver ratio in one design.
