Discovering the dimensions still hidden from science
Art and Science at Their Shared Boundary
Science Art describes artistic practices that engage scientific concepts, methods, and forms of knowledge as material for aesthetic exploration. Nature reveals its fundamental patterns through forms and phenomena — what may be described as the aesthetics of nature. Science seeks to capture these patterns through rational concepts, while artistic practice approaches them through intuition and sensory experience. Science Art emerges where these modes of inquiry meet.
Cells, Tissues, Organs Nr.1
Watercolour, 35 x 45 cm, 1984
Our natural universe is built on a hierarchy of systems formed from one another - cells form tissues, tissues form organs and so on.
Cells, Tissues, Organs Nr.5
Watercolour, 40 x 60 cm, 1984
Having ascended to the heights of self-reflection, the mind wonders, “Do I still require this biological vessel?”.

Making Complex Phenomena Perceptible
Science art reflects complex phenomena in sensory forms. Bio-luminescent installations, immersive visualizations of medical data, and sonifications of cellular or environmental processes translate abstract scientific information into perceptible experience. These works allow audiences to encounter rhythms, flows, and structures underlying life without requiring technical scientific knowledge.
Golgi

Golgi unveiled a hidden workshop within the cell — a place where proteins, freshly made, are refined and readied for their tasks.

Nucleus Nr 3
Oils on linen, 60x90 cm, 2024
At the heart of every animal and plant cell lies the nucleus, a quiet chamber that guards the cell’s blueprint, DNA, wrapped in an endoplasmic cloak.

Order is found in the blue-print for proteins, namely namely DNA and RNA or in the geometric structures so typical of biological forms. And yet, also Chaos also persists, woven as change and variability into the fabric of order. Proteins, once generated, undergo constant change within the cell. Mutation, another form of change, guides evolution. And these examples of change are forms of Chaos.These dynamics of change and structure, chaos and order, are at the heart of how I explore and create and interlaced into the very way I work.
