Measuring an impressive 52" x 28" x 6" and weighing in at 60lbs, BIORA 1: Roots of Knowledge is a striking centerpiece that explores the intersection of science and art. Sculpted with meticulous care, the piece features a metal scaffolding wrapped in burlap and coated with a proprietary blend of polymer mediums and plaster—a formula I’ve perfected for unparalleled strength and durability.
At its core, polished black epoxy creates a mirror-like backdrop, enhancing the intricate cellular patterns inspired by histology slides of chandelier neurons in the stratum pyramidale of the hippocampus. This neural structure, pivotal in learning and memory, embodies the idea of “roots of knowledge” while its design also evokes the sprawling roots of the Baobab tree, often referred to as the "Tree of Life."
Gold Nitro Combi paint graces the top finish, adding an element of richness and light, while Musou Black—the blackest paint in the world—creates dramatic shadows and seamless blending, pulling the viewer into its intricate depths.
BIORA 1 is not just a sculpture; it’s a narrative of connection, growth, and the intricate beauty of the structures that shape our world and minds. A conversation piece, it bridges science, art, and the timeless story of life itself.
Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs, this piece invites endless exploration and admiration. Let it transform your space into a gallery of thought and inspiration.
