Spanish animator/illustrator Cristóbal Vila uncovers the intricate beauty of life by dissecting geometric concepts including polygonal tessellation, the golden angle, Islamic tiling, and the four nitrogenous bases of DNA.

Cristóbal Vila: “This is a new personal project that seeks to establish connections between various fields that interest me deeply: geometry, and how it appears linked to nature, on the one hand, and to art and architecture, on the other; raising relations between all of them.”
