Abstract
In this manuscript the author presents a collection of pieces of artworks he created inspired by the surrealist work of René Magritte and the drawing with scissors technique by Henri Matisse. It exhibits a novel way of visualizing mathematical beauty in order to make this concept accessible to a broader audience. The mathematical background that underlies this work together with its history and relevance are described.
