A microcosm of icons for a last generation drug, fluoxetine, whose main function is to help the neurotransmitter serotonin to restore and improve our mood. The brain controls the body and its relation to the outside world and to ourselves, maintaining in a frail balance our physical and metaphysical existence. In developed countries, the complex human environment, new relationship patterns and new social contexts, supposes an assault and even a constant aggression to our emotions. Despite increased cranial capacity, intellectual coefficient and knowledge coupled with an overwhelming scientific and technological development, we have not made ourselves immune to an increasing emotional fragility. I wish to express that search for optimism and happiness, even the euphoria, which longs our human condition. And relieve the mind with an aesthetic experience that wants to be a counterpoint, a parenthesis or, why not, a visual therapy... that is the art. In the mental conception of this molecule, I wondered what would be the relation between its spatial arrangement and its main pharmacological action. I finally found it in microspaces emerging in a black night: flowers, inflorescences, and even the image of a strange butterfly that illuminates our darkness. REAL SIZE of the subject of the artwork: 1.1 x 0.7 mm (0.044 x 0.029 in). As a medium I use the digital photography with the help of a microscope.

I define my author projects, more visual than discursive, like "Quiet and pleasant strolls through the microcosm of human: microspaces of a parallel universe of emotional energy." Like processes that take place in our creative mind of logic gates with switches of colors. The creative mind: the completely "irrational" and so exclusive trait of the homo sapiens. - In my teenage years, I observed to the microscope a thin slice of rock that contained an astounding amount of microfossils of single-cell animals, petrified hundreds of millions of years ago, but still telling about their morphology, their habitat, their staggering biodiversity, and their role in our evolutionary history. Their narration took the form of microlandscapes of endless mass graves full of delicate recumbent beings. I felt the need to retain that moment in my memory capturing it with a photograph. My pictures want be an unedited vision across suggestive and baffling parallel-universe, unknown but very close: tiny corners of an infinite reality. I wish to share these snapshots with other naked eyes, viewers diving into them and promenading through them leisurely: in a symbiosis of aesthetic experience, cognitive process and also a reflection on the theme of those artworks, speaking to us about our technoscience present which is writing our future. As a medium for my artistic production, I use the digital photography (fine art pigment prints) with the help of a microscope.
