Artist Statement
Biology and art have always fascinated me. As a child, I learned that the cell is the smallest unit making up life around us. Each cell relates to other cells through layers, connections, and movements. While biology might seem hard to comprehend, everything operates in harmony. Similarly, art might seem mysterious, yet a closer look reveals the creativity of the human mind.
Given my interest, I decided to pursue studies in biology. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering in 2007. I enjoyed learning about the intricacy of cellular and neural structure, and networks. Nonetheless, many years later, my passion for art led me to join art school in 2018.
I now create abstract paintings inspired by the unseen world of biology. My series is entitled “Under the Surface.” In which I aim to capture the hidden chaos in delicate details to communicate my vision of the real world through biology. My paintings take the form of imagined abstraction of new biospheres that reflect the complexity and connectivity of our lives. The artworks integrate dots, lines, shapes, and vibrant colors into a great complex harmony.
Finally, “Under the Surface” allows the spectator to delve into the microscopic world of juxtapositions represented by flat and illusionistic elements. The visual stimulation then triggers the viewer’s curiosity and imagination. My paintings are coupled with three-dimensional representations to bring the sensory experience of the two-dimensional artwork to life.
