Sumario:[EN] This article is born as a game in which art, geometry, physics and mathematics are related to reveal a space that remained trapped in the form of a reflection in one of the best-known works of the fascinating Dutch artist M. C. Escher, entitled: Hand with reflecting sphere. This work is a self-portrait in which the artist reproduces his own hand holding a specular globe in which he himself is reflected sitting in his Rome studio. Thanks to the meticulousness and perfection with which the artist executed his works, it has been possible to restore this space from his reflection, using software designed specifically for the occasion that transforms the reflection into a spherical panorama of the scene, in which we can feel immersed together with the disappeared artist, thanks to the novel techniques and visors of virtual reality.
