This image is not a painting of a scene from the world’s worst vineyard – it’s a molecule of chlorophyll as seen through the eyes of New York artist Alexander Kobulnicky, whose body of work deals with capturing the essence and unique character of the building blocks that make up us and the world around us. “Underneath the colorful spheres of molecular diagrams is a deep symbolism,” explains Kobulnicky on his website. As a fellow artist, I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this first. Below are some more examples of Kobulnicky’s explorations: Glucose, Heme, Alcohol, THC, and my personal favourite, Carbon Monoxide.
