“Green” is a captivating piece from the surrealistic rainbow chakra series, representing the heart chakra. This vibrant painting centers around two figures embracing, inspired by a perfume advertisement, symbolizing love and connection. The choice of white t-shirts hints at the song “1234” by the Plain White T’s, subtly expressing the phrase “I love you.”

At the core of the artwork is a detailed four-chambered heart, with arteries and major veins branching out into leaves, symbolizing the heart’s connection to the lungs and the process of breathing. The leaves surrounding the couple signify the lungs, essential for providing oxygen. Embedded within the lower circular section are molecules of photosynthesis, including chlorophyll plastids, emphasizing the life-sustaining processes that occur in nature.

The painting features a toroidal energy pattern around the heart center, representing the measurable energy field generated by the heart and the Figure 8 symbol, denoting eternity and infinity. Musical notes B flat, C, and C# are thoughtfully placed in the lower echo-chamber-like portion of the composition. These notes correspond to the color range from red to orange, bringing a serendipitous blend of passion and creativity into the piece.

Meanwhile, the visible light spectrum for the color green falls within the 526.92 - 606 THz range. The corresponding musical notes for the color green are G, G#, and A. However, the artist accidentally included the musical notes B flat, C, and C#, which correspond to red and orange, adding a serendipitous layer of passion and creativity, blending these qualities harmoniously with the heart chakra’s traditional green.

“Green” explores the concept that the heart has its own brain and subconscious, suggesting that our deepest desires might originate from this powerful center. The artwork delves into the idea that sensory organs can perceive vibrational information, inspired by Dr. Luca Turin’s discoveries about scent receptors.

As part of the surrealistic rainbow chakra series, “Green” visually explores the connections between colors, music, and vibrational frequencies. This piece represents the heart chakra, depicting love, connection, and the life-sustaining processes of the heart and lungs. Inspired by Dr. Luca Turin’s work on vibrational receptors, it raises intriguing questions about the potential for sensory organs to perceive vibrations and their impact on our health and well-being. This Science-Art project invites curious minds to consider these ideas for holistic healing and personal growth, with the inclusion of musical notes B flat, C, and C#, adding a serendipitous blend of passion and creativity to the heart chakra’s green.
