AM Science Art

I am a neuroscientist, driven by a deep curiosity about the brain and its hidden workings. But alongside the experiments and data, I’ve always felt a pull towards the visual—a need to create, to shape ideas not just in words and numbers, but in images. Whether crafting scientific figures, designing posters, or mapping concepts, I’ve often found clarity through colour and form. In 2021, I began sharing my paintings, and something shifted. What seemed like two worlds—science and art—began to merge. I realised they speak the same language: both seek truth.

Neurons connect through synapses: small spaces between these cells that allow for information transmission in the form of chemical and electrical exchanges. Synapses are crucial for the brain’s plasticity, and are the basis of memories in the brain. In my neuron paintings, memories are represented as fleeting birds and flowers floating around the shapes of neurons and synapses. 
In my molecule paintings, I explore the beauty of chemical structures in colorful flowers and birds.
