Of Abstracts and DNA

What a wondrous time we live in, as scientists unravel the secrets of DNA, and help us in fighting disease using our own DNA. But science is not always used in beneficial ways... I recall the movie Gattaca, which showed the darker side of being able to control our own DNA.

This painting is both a tribute to and a cautionary note about "unlocking the genome"... in a very abstract way. I hope you find it interesting.

  1. I love it! Any chance of getting this one on canvas as well, maybe in the 8.5x11-inch size range?

    Keep up the painting, and I'll keep up the science!
