Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we explore the interconnection of mathematics and art. We discuss mathematics as a lens to understand artwork and investigate how mathematical thinking and mathematical tools contribute to the process of creating art. Turning then to the manifestation of art within mathematics, we introduce ideas and constructions from mathematical graph theory that can be appreciated from an artistic perspective. Finally, we reflect on how the process of doing and communicating mathematics is inherently artistic.
