I understand the math but I have no idea how it connects to art or “aesthetically pleasing shapes”.
Every image I see looks like a spiral slapped randomly onto a painting, and sometimes not even the entirety of the painting. The art never seems to follow any of the apparent guidelines of the spiral. I especially don’t understand it when it’s put on a persons face.
I can see and understand the balance of artistic uses of things such as “the rule of 3rds” and negative space, dynamic posing, etc. However, I cannot comprehend how the golden ratio attributes anything to the said * balance * of a work of art.
I saw an image of Parthenon in Athens, Greece with the golden ratio spiral over it. It’s just a symmetrical, rectangular building. I don’t understand how the golden ratio applies to it.

Think of it like this. 4 quadrants offset by 90 in location and phase of the Fibonacci or golden spiral, rotating around the center via Pi. Or Phi^4+Pi = 10 – Unity. Seek the quintilis academy – Namaste I bow to our light
