Painted during the artist’s residency at CERN, THOUGHTS COLLIDING draws inspiration from the dramatic collisions of particles observed at the research center. The canvas captures an intersection of scientific inquiry and personal reflection, with swirling pigments suggesting the energetic movement and chaos of particles as they smash together. The piece invites viewers to contemplate the nature of time—questioning its direction, its connection to physical movement, and the fundamental role of light’s velocity. Through dynamic brushwork and vivid color contrasts, the painting evokes the sensation of thoughts and ideas colliding, much like the subatomic particles at CERN. In the midst of this visual turbulence, the artist poses a provocative question: Can the flow of time be influenced or even reversed through human perception and the workings of the mind? The painting thus becomes not only a representation of scientific phenomena, but also a meditation on consciousness, memory, and the mysteries of temporal experience.
