Synaptic 'You'

A speculative abstract illustration of the work being done to

understand where 'You' reside in the brain and how the 'sense-of-self'

develops and is stored.

If you would like a better idea of where the idea for this image came from I recommend this article from Scientific American.

Dear Dave, I have seen some of your work and I don´t know is this work falls into the category of picture itself or digital design but for sure it is a great and amazing work what you do with the colors and forms, it catches my full attention and I just find it wonderful. I have no idea which software you use but thanks for sharing such beautiful "digital paintings" best and warm regards // Salvador 

Beautiful image! The only thing is that this is digital painting, so I think it should be in different category.

Out of curiosity, how much time did you spend creating that art piece?  

Fantastic layered maze of color and light.  Very interesting concept and only you could 'pull it off' Dave!!  Man, I do not know how you manage to come up with such beautiful vibrance and 'electricity' in your images, but that's fine, it's always new, always real, and a treat to behold!!  Congrats, most sincerely, Gail

Salvador...

Thank you for your very kind and thoughtful words.  I have suggested to Josh that a 'Digital Art' category be added to p.net, but he is hesitant to do so.  Maybe someday...

For now I'll continue to place them in abstract, since many of them are more abstract than anything else.

Ziggy...

Actually, this took only about an hour to create and render.  The amount of 'tweaking' was fairly small in this case, so the work went quickly.  Sometimes I get lucky... sometimes not. 

Thanks to both of you, for your support.

These are fun to do and it is especially nice to know that others find them pleasing.

Your compliments are most sincerely appreciated.  Thank You!

Excellent creative work, Dave!

To do abstract, that catch attention author should have specific imagination. You have it. Excellent and eye catching work! 7/7
