The artist does not illustrate science (but) he frequently responds to the same interests that a scientist does.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The artist is an interpreter of Nature. People learn to love Nature through pictures. To the artist, nothing is in vain; nothing beneath his notice. If he is great enough, he will exalt every subject which he treats.
The scientist and the artist are both passionate about their exploration. What leads to my work is that I'm equally an artist and an engineer.
What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things. He dives into history, be it the history of mankind, the geological history of the Earth or the beginning and end of the manifest cosmos.
For some years, I've been very interested in the relationship between science and art.
I would say the connection between art and science is very tenuous for me. It's just that I'm interested in both. I don't think that my interest in art affects the kind of science that I do.
I've come to realize that artists and scientists are alike. They go through the same processes using different tools. They are both driven to answer the question, 'What if?'
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
The best artists are scientific, and the best scientists are artistic.
I was always exploring relationships between art and science.
We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way.
