Here is my second attempt at depicting protease inhibiting drugs (blue dots) working to destroy the HIV protease enzyme. High contrast colors positioned next to each other make the painting pulse with energy; specifically healing energy. As the title implies, I am trying to show a massive and successful effort to annihilate the disease. A patient undergoing treatment can view this painting and use it to help him visualize the progress being made within his/her body. The title also implies teamwork, the human body and the drugs working in concert. After finishing this painting I finally had the confidence to begin the Miracle of Hope triptych. As for tapping into the works of great artists of the past, Van Gogh pioneered the idea of placing high contrast colors next to each to magnify their intensity.
