A
tessellation is a collection of shapes called tiles that fit together without gaps or overlaps to cover the mathematical plane. The Dutch graphic
artist M.C. Escher became famous for his
tessellations in which the individual tiles are recognizable motif such as birds and fish.
There are other shapes that can tessellate an entire area with no extra spaces. In fact, many mathematicians would define tessellations as the tiling of polygons that do not overlap, or contain holes between shapes.
Escher can be regarded as the 'Father' of modern tessellations.
