Art Description
This painting uses layers of acrylic paint on a 3X3' canvas which over time were built up, scraped away in sections, and layered over again revealing multiple pockets of color, texture and depth. The overall image represents how information flows and understanding envelopes our minds. It is also a visual representation of the brain's capacity to learn, think, draw conclusions, and is intended to communicate a sense of wisdowm that comes from knowledge over time. Various studies on the human brain and information processing assert an image of both dynamic chaos and complex patterns. This abstract painting is also a representaion of my motivation in pursuing a doctorate degree in healthcare and engaging in higher education, pushing my brain to learn and expand in knowledge areas.
