The Geometry, in charge of studying the qualities and properties of the forms that can be found in the habitable space or in mathematical theoretical exercises, can be used as a tool to generate mosaics or tessellations that respond to a mathematical logic, at the same time maintaining an artistic kind. Its usefulness can be manifested for various contexts for which a geometric composition defined as tessellation that can be used to cover different planes is presented in this article. After the exploration of shapes and figures using a geometric design methodology, a tessellation is presented as a result of two pieces that are articulated to form a mosaic responding to a design logic inspired by M. C. Escher.
