Caduceus in the Bassline, an acrylic on canvas from 2021, measuring 27 x 43 cm, is a vibrant, psychedelic interpretation of the very blueprint of life: DNA. This painting delves into the profound idea that existence vibrates down to the level of our genetic code, revealing hidden patterns and connections.
At its core, a spiral of snakes and mushrooms entwines a living strand of DNA – animated by sound. A cross-section of this DNA strand astonishingly reveals a five-pointed star – a cosmic echo that is further
emphasized by the watchful eyes subtly suggested on the surrounding mushrooms, hinting at altered states, insight, and the fertile intelligence of nature.
The two entwined snakes, central to the composition, directly reference the Caduceus, an ancient symbol of healing, transformation, and balance, evoking healing and flow. Beneath, a rudimentary sound system
hums: a reminder that vibration, music, and rhythm move through life at every level, even our cells. This system, seemingly out of place yet profoundly significant, symbolizes the boundless forms music can take
across the world, suggesting that anything can be perceived as music if we open our perception. The liquid, otherworldly backdrop creates an impression of being suspended, mirroring our own state of
suspension within life and within the immersive experience of music, suggesting we are all woven into a cosmic field of sound and movement. This painting is a testament to the idea that our inner worlds, our
dreams, and our spiritual aspirations are intricately woven into the fabric of biological and cosmic existence. At its heart, “Caduceus in the Bassline” is an ode to the universal power of music: how it connects bodies, spirits, and worlds, inviting viewers to perceive the universe as a symphony of
interconnected vibrations, where healing and transformation resonate from the deepest cellular levels to the broadest cosmic scales.
