This doesn't involve traditional mathematics concepts, but I'm relying heavily on visual explanations in my mathematical explorations of discrete geometry, which you can find at https://quivergeometry.net https://quivergeometry.net.
Probably the cleanest examples of where visualization makes things very clear is explaining the groupoid structure of paths [1], and how to generate lattice quivers [2].
But I also enjoy some of the aesthetic qualities of the sections on coverings [3] (intricate), vertex colorings [4] (very colorful!), toroidal lattices [5], and products of quivers [6]. The last in particular involves trying to understand products from both an algebraic and geometric perspective, and 3D visualization is especially helpful there, giving intuition for how a certain product slices off hexagonal pieces of a hypercube.
