As a PhD student I explored macroautophagy/autophagy induced by starvation in Drosophila melanogaster using different microscopy techniques. The beauty and complexity of this process impressed me so deeply that I felt the need to paint it. Thus, I made 2 oil paintings based on my own scientific work, representing the autophagy mechanism at different scales with diverse artistic resources. The first painting, called Autophagy 1, is inspired by fluorescence confocal microscopy images. Therefore, saturated colors predominate in the composition. The second one is an oil on canvas titled Autophagy 2 which reflects autophagy at a smaller scale. This painting depicts this process as revealed by transmission electron microscopy, employing mainly a gray scale of colors. I performed these works with the intention to catch the essence of this biological process, conveying scientific ideas through art. My paintings are not intended only for the scientific community but also for the general public, as an instrument of enjoyment and popularization of science.
