The archetypal tree of the spirit

 

The structure of the bipolar neuron has inspired me to make this psycological painting of an archetypal tree that resembles a goddess

The tree of the mind

 I've made the oil on canvas painting above and the ball point pen drawing below this week. This is the tree of the mind, a pyramidal neuron in the neocortex. As I said before when we draw trees we draw our neurons and that's why the trees we draw tell so much about us. Somewhere deep in our mind we somehow know that the neurons have a tree shape.

The mental tree, coffee painting

This is the tree of the mind that has the shape of a pyramidal neuronal cell, the tree that is in every human mind and that’s why psychologists use the tree test. When someone draws a tree he/she is drawing his/her mind because people tend to identify themselves with trees.
