I love this type of art. I make digital geometric art, currently complex tilings, at https://andrewwulf.com (not selling any, just showing it). Geometry and math can be very appealing to people although it’s not that popular commercially today outside of NFTs. Repetition and variation can be powerful tools in art. Wacław deserves more recognition.

Thanks to this post and a comment referring Iterated Function System, two polish people are interestingly connected in the field of the subject: Wacław Sierpiński (Sierpiński triangle) [1] and "Wacław Szpakowski", they could even met at the time.

Another interesting thing about such connections is trying to find a mention of them both in the same media (web page, research paper, etc) so thanks to this a very promising book is found "Art, algorithm and ambiguity. Aesthetic ambiguity with regard to metacognition based on visual semiotics, visual rhetoric and Gestalt Psychology" by Axel Rohlfs [2]. This method sometimes works in other fields, if a researcher is aware of a couple obscure facts, names or entities in a field, he or she is usually very good at the field or at least dedicated enough time to it

If you like this sort of thing, there is a whole movement called “Op Art” you should check out[1]. People like Bridget Riley in particular. I saw the big Riley exhibition at the Tate in 2003 and it was fantastic. They had this enormous one-off piece that had been specifically created for this exhibition on the first wall you encountered as you went in. It was basically a massive very bright white wall with a quite spacious grid of 3/4 circles in black. The gap in each circle was rotated as you looked across and up and down the wall. It was such a perculiar optical effect it made your brain hallucinate colours and movement in this purely static, black and white piece.

I knew Bridget Riley’s work a bit before going into the exhibition because she was one of the visual artists you learn about when you study 20C music, and so I had seen a few of these op art pieces, but I never expected an illusion to work so well on such a huge scale.

These are neat. I'm reminded of Claude Mellan's face of Christ from 1649. This also uses a single continuous line, but he was carving the line by hand into steel!

A goldmine of Logo exercises, where the goal would be to write the shortest program for a given drawing. All of them could be classified by Kolmogorov complexity.
