Nikola Tesla Painting by Giovanni DeCunto

Nikola Tesla Painting by Giovanni DeCunto:

Acrylic and phosphorescent paint with gold leaf on canvas, 75″ x 80″.

Nikola Tesla once said: ‘If you only knew the magnificence of 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.’ Giovanni DeCunto was inspired to create this piece to combine Tesla and the philosophy he deeply lived by. You will notice everything is connected in this piece between Tesla, 3,6, 9, Aristotle, and allowing the diversity of light reflection between natural light and UV light symbolizing the energy together in the universe.

DeCunto’s artist statement: ‘My paintings are my palette for chaos and order to collide. I take the high art and the low art, which is commonplace, and let them battle it out on the canvas. The contemporary issues confronted in the work provoke a response, both emotional and intellectual, and symbolize the struggle towards birth that our society now faces. We are at the beginning. Painting, to me, is the great equalizer. I paint for humanity. I call to arms; the eternal spirit of man, the builder, the organizer and the evolutionary spirit that creates civilizations. I am speaking of that common, human thread that the great thinkers of the past continue to teach to us; the common link which triumphs over adversity, poverty and injustice.’
