Oil over acrylic with glass beads and metal foil. A combination of traditional painting, paint dripping, and cake decorating techniques were used to create the textures in the piece.

This one�s for the chemists!
Density of states is an important concept in the quantum mechanics of molecules. If there are a lot of electrons and there are continuous �paths� of energy states to delocalize the electrons, useful electronic, magnetic, and optical properties (and chemistry!) will often result.
A good bit of materials chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry involves tweaking electron densities and densities of states.
This important set of properties is represented in the background of the painting. The grid pattern produced by dripping paint is reminiscent of both graph paper and quantized energy levels, and the movement in the colors alludes to the �...

(easy peasy checkout) Statement: Art can illuminate even the most elusive and difficult to comprehend ideas. Scientific imagery can be as impenetrable as well as intriguing and beautiful. Analysis of many technical diagrams, presentations of data, and scientific images is a set of commonly accepted rules that are learned and internalized over years of study and publication. These rules and tightly codified visual metaphors help scientists communicate complex ideas mostly amongst themselves, but they could also become barriers to new ideas and insights. Valluzzi's images are abstracted and diverge from the typical rules and...
