Abstract: Abstract M.C. Escher interpreted three-dimensional spatial structure with the help of the living world — fauna, flora and human figures. His spatial forms behave in a unique way: they appear to be realistic, but they cannot be constructed in the real three-dimensional world. This visual phenomenon, illusion in the plane, was approached from different viewpoints by Escher. In representing spatial structures Escher utilized the Penrose triangle and the Möbius band. I have dealt with representing these “organic” forms in the plane, defining rules for organization of basic structures. Designing and experimenting with such organic structures has become an especially exciting field for basic research.
