Patrice Jeener is a mathematical artist and copper engraver much-influenced by the engravings of Maurits Escher and by Flake's treatise on curvilinear perspective. Jeener studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. Later, at the Palais de la Decouverte, he discovered Henri Poincaré's models of mathematical functions made out of plaster. He later studied mathematics as an autodidact.

In his engravings, Jeener represents mathematical models and their developments in particular fields of physics. He lives in Provence at La Motte-Chalancon, between the Vercors Plateau and Les Baronnies.
