When slowing down and thinking about how I really felt today. I immediately knew the word that would describe it, Intuitive. The whole day, up to this moment, I felt like another sense was in charge of me. I knew how the day would go and I seemed to sense events that would happen later in the day. Im not sure if this feeling is because I have been sleep deprived the past 2 days, or if its a sign for something bigger. When I googled the word intuitive I found scientists/artist Greg Dunn. His art focuses on his work as a scientist on the human brain.
“I enjoy Asian art. I particularly love minimalist scroll and screen painting from the Edo period in Japan. I am also a fan of neuroscience. Therefore, it was a fine day when two of my passions came together upon the realization that the elegant forms of neurons (the cells that comprise your brain) can be painted expressively in the Asian sumi-e style. Neurons may be tiny in scale, but they posess the same beauty seen in traditional forms of the medium (trees, flowers, and animals). I admire the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean masters because of their confidence in simplicity. I try to emulate this idea. In October 2011 I finished my doctorate in Neuroscience at University of Pennsylvania. Since then I have been devoting my time to painting. When I’m not doing this I’m enjoying reading scientific papers, playing music and watching “How Its Made”.” http://www.gregadunn.com/about/
