Description
I created a painting that was inspired by the four-color theorem in graph theory. The theorem states that any map in a plane can be colored using four colors in such a way that regions sharing a common boundary (other than a single point) do not share the same color. I utilized this method to color my artwork. As mathematics has always been a combination of art and creativity for me, I attempted to express this mindset about mathematics through my painting.
