Complexity Ii (Brain Coral) Mixed Media Contemporary Painting

Suspended within a cool, circular field, the brain-like form pulses in saturated reds and pinks, its folds rendered as a tender topography where thought becomes flesh. A web of pale, wandering filaments—part synapse, part drifting thread—animates the surface with nervous energy, suggesting cognition as a living network of interruptions, returns, and unfinished routes. The stark containment of the round border reads like a specimen slide or protective halo, heightening the tension between intimate interiority and the clinical distance of observation. In this quiet diagram of mind, vulnerability and vitality coexist, as if consciousness were both held together and continually unravelling.
