1/10 Limited Medium Edition Giclée Print on Hahnemühle Paper Printed with 5cm white border. Signed certificate of authenticity included + 2 AP The portrait displays a scientist who for years studied the interaction of the smallest physical particles in order to explain their behavior. This exploratory research unfolds a fascinating mental adventure. Weird, seemingly mystical things happen at the tiny scale of the atom where quantum physics takes over. Therefor many of the founding theorists of quantum mechanics espoused philosophical positions that were favorable to certain mythical tenets. Indian philosophy teaches that the entire creation was preceeded by the presence of God. The exceptional minds of Indian philosophers have an instinctive urge to synthesize, transform, transmute and transcend the aspects of reality. They invariably consider humans as a replica of the Divine Spirit and hence they place highest value on man’s ideals and aspirations. The central theme of their writings - the spiritualization of earthly life - rests on their belief that God exists in all of Nature and that spiritual intuition makes it possible for every individual to become conscious of their own divinity. The goal of this portrait is to express the aforementioned quest for the Absolute through the exploration of the parallels between modern physics and eastern mysticism. Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science. But man may need both.
