Eye of science-3157 viewsRather than use the image nanoflower.pdf as a basis for the further electronic manipulation, I decided to use it as inspiration for an acrylic painting on canvas.
The painted canvas shows a view of the nanoworld seen from the particle perspective. We can clearly recognize the eye of the scientist looking via microscope onto the complex but beautiful structure. In her/his iris our world is reflected, which in the same time appears to be the core of nanospace. The model of the atom plays here the role of an engine. The story of progress started ages ago. To remind us about great minds and troubles of education in the past, man and woman (left and right), were placed on the opposite sides of the unified mass. They are very distinctive, individual. Maybe their approach of solving the problems is sometimes different, but if they consolidate their forces, as it is symbolized here by their unification within one solid body, they are the busters of development.
The sundial in the dress of the woman reminds us of the passing time. Every story has its beginning, but where starts nanoscience? The simplest explanation of how microscopes work is referring to a telescope. Therefore, as a tribute to the excellent scientist, the Newton’s telescope can be found on the picture.
The things sometimes seem to us more complex then they are. Who was not in the situation when the answer to our riddle seemed to be an enigma, whereas it was lying just in front of us? That is exactly what the monkey represents in my creation. This recalls us Darwin, and his theory of evolution. The biological element (mitochondrion) somehow rounds up this story.
There are few more things worth noting. Let us go from the beard of the man to the left lower corner. One of the hairs continues like a thread (maybe it is a DNA carrying important information), goes via a needle (kind of selection process) and ends onto twisted together coil. This is a beginning of creation, which is a continuum of embryonic and fetal life. In this course, the human curiosity appears, in order to know about health and gender. These questions are answered by ultrasound examination and we see hope, the next generation of a great scientist.
Finally, the work of the scientists is awarded and champagne is served.
