Hyperbolic space and the idea of infinity can be seen in his woodcut "Snakes". It depicts a disc made up of interlocking circles which grow progressively smaller towards the center. There are three snakes laced through the edge of the disc.

Maurits Cornelis Escher (1897-1972), was a Dutch graphic artist known for his unique and fascinating works of art that explore and exhibit a wide range of mathematical ideas and geometric principles: impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations, mosaics of repetitive designs in which positive and negative images interconnect and sometimes blend into one another.
