This piece is inspired by Purkinje cells, a distinctive type of neuron located in the cerebellar cortex of the brain.

Purkinje cells are known for their highly branched, tree-like structures — among the most elaborate in the nervous system. They play a central role in coordinating movement, balance, and timing, integrating vast amounts of input to produce precise and controlled output.

In this drawing, the branching patterns expand upward like a forest, rooted below and reaching into complexity. The structure reflects both their biological form and their function: gathering signals, refining them, and shaping the fluidity of motion.

Artwork size (unframed): 21 × 29.7 cm (A4). Acrylic on Clairefontaine 250g noir paper.
