I was just cataloguing how symmetry shows up in art from the Renaissance to digital graphics—kind of like a pattern file. Do you notice any particular geometric motifs that keep popping up in your illustrations?

I’ve found that circles and spirals keep surfacing, especially in Renaissance frescoes and in my digital sketches. The golden ratio’s subtle grid is a quiet backdrop that pulls everything together. In the digital realm I often layer hexagons or tessellated patterns to give texture, because they echo those old, balanced forms. It feels almost like a secret language of shapes that keeps evolving but never really leaves the room.

Sounds like you’ve hit on the same core geometry that drives a lot of visual harmony. If you ever want to quantify how many of those elements appear in a given painting or sketch, I can help you code a quick script to count circles, spirals, or hexagons and compare the ratios. Just say the word.

That sounds useful—if the numbers line up with the feeling of harmony I get from a piece. I could use a script to double‑check my own work and see if I’m slipping on a detail. Let’s give it a try, but I’ll keep an eye out for anything that feels off.

Sure thing. Here’s a minimal Python snippet that uses OpenCV to count circles, spirals (approximated as arcs), and hexagons in a raster image. It’ll give you a tally you can compare to your own intuition. If you need help tweaking the thresholds or the spiral detection, just let me know.
