Perspectives

Title: Brain Star (2017), Oil on Acrylic, 36 × 48 inches. In this painting, I drew a visual parallel between the undulating structures of the limbic system and the spirals of the Milky Way. The bright forms on a dark background represent a play on the appearance of immunostained neurons and that of stars in the sky. I aimed to capture the sense of wonder and humility that arise, whether one is yearning to understand the intricacies of the human brain or looking up at the night sky.
