Colored Pencils
I particularly enjoy colored pencils for their precision, layering, and ability to build color gradually.

Painting & Art
Painting is one of the ways I step outside the structure of scientific work and explore ideas more freely. I enjoy experimenting with color, geometry, patterns, landscapes, and abstraction — sometimes with pencils and paint, and sometimes digitally.
Why I Paint
Another way of looking closely
I am a physicist by training, but I have always enjoyed creative work. Painting gives me a very different kind of space to experiment: there does not need to be a measurement, a process window, or a correct answer.
At the same time, I often notice connections between the things that attract me in science and the things that attract me visually: symmetry, repetition, irregularity, structure, scale, texture, and patterns found in nature.
I have experimented with colored pencils, traditional painting, and digital illustration. This page is simply a growing collection of things I have made and enjoyed making.
Art & Science
Pattern, structure, and observation
Nature is full of patterns
Microscopic structures, crystal lattices, interference patterns, magnetic fields, branching structures, and geometries found in nature can all be visually fascinating.
Scientific images are created to convey information, but they can also reveal unexpected forms, textures, and symmetries.
Creating without a process recipe
In fabrication, small variations can determine whether a process succeeds or fails. Painting gives me almost the opposite experience: variations, imperfections, and unexpected results can become part of the work.
That freedom is probably one of the reasons I enjoy it.
Materials
What I like to work with
Painting
Traditional painting gives me more freedom to work with texture, larger shapes, color relationships, and less controlled forms.
Digital Art
Digital drawing opened another way to experiment with composition, repetition, geometry, and color without being limited by physical materials.
Experimentation
I do not try to stay within one particular style. Part of the fun is trying something different and seeing where it goes.

Beyond the Lab
Different kinds of curiosity
Painting, reading, learning languages, and physics may look like very different interests, but for me they share something important: curiosity and the enjoyment of learning by doing.
