The Abstract Biology series explores the abstract visual language already present in biological structures. Drawing on microscopic tissue structures, butterfly wing scales and patterns, corals, sea anemones, and other living forms, the paintings investigate how growth, repetition, symmetry, and cellular organization can form the basis of abstract composition. The paintings isolate and enlarge formal relationships found in living systems. Cellular clusters, layered contours, radial structures, and repeated units become arrangements of color, rhythm, and geometry. As forms are simplified and colors transformed, biological morphology meets the visual language of modernist abstraction. The imagery remains grounded in observation while developing a pictorial order of its own. Scale remains intentionally ambiguous. A form may suggest a cell, a tissue, a reef, or a landscape without settling into a single identity. The same forms can be read at microscopic and macroscopic scales, allowing the viewer to move between biological observation and abstract perception. Familiar references gradually recede, but the organizing patterns of living systems remain visible. Here, abstraction begins with close attention to how living forms are organized.
