About Flora Illustratie

Flora is een fantasie-illustratie om de creativiteit en het vertellen van verhalen van de kunstenaar te promoten, en toont de bloei van gastro-intestinale microbiota bevrucht door de kolkende maagomgeving. De bloei wordt weergegeven door bloembladen van Bacteroidetes, Bifidobacteriam en Enterococcus, stampers van Lactobacillus en meeldraden van Enterococcus faecalis op stengels van Escherichia coli. De bloem zelf komt tevoorschijn op stengels van Clostridium. Bacillus Cereus, lange staafvormige bacteriën in hun arthomitus-stadium hechten zich door vezels aan het darmepitheel, groeien filamenteus en sporenvormend.

Unique Properties: Creating a visual pun on the idea that gastric flora might be blossoming flowers in the digestive tract, the artist set out to create a flower composed of the bacteria found in the gut.
Dimensions & Packaging: 17.5" x 12", 350 dpi, tiff
Tags: medical illustration, biomedical artist, visual science, pharmaceutical advertising, biotechnology advertising
Production Technology: Created using Cinema 4D, a 3D modeling program, and Photoshop on a Mac.
Design Challenge: Creating a flower that both looked like a flower, but was also easily recognized as being constructed of recognizable bacteria required a creative balance between the two.
Research: The artist researched the common bacteria, called flora, of the gut. The artist studied electron micrographs depicting these different bacteria, and created 3D models of the different bacteria. The artist arranged the 3D-modeled bacteria to construct a flower, using different bacteria for different parts of the flower. The churning gastric juices and primordial environment of the gut comprises the environment from which the flower grows. The flower springs forth from the microvilli found in the lining of the small intestine.
Inspiration: The artist is a certified medical illustrator working in the advertising and marketing of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Self promotional work created for clients, and prospective clients, is a chance to promote the artist's creativity, artistry and storytelling skills in visual science.
Project Duration: The project was in development for three weeks at the artist's studio in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, USA.
Operation Flow: The illustration is meant to be enjoyable and memorable by playing on the pun of gastric flora.
