Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Here are some pencil studies of Cajal that I have been working on.

Cajal was a Spanish neuroscientist (1852 – 1934) who is widely regarded as the founder of neuroscience.  Through his neuro-anatomical investigations and intricate illustrations of brain cells, he provided evidence for what is now known as the neuron doctrine.

Sunday at the Barbican Centre, London

As part of the Barbican Wonder: Art and Science on the Brain festival on Sunday 7 April, I was invited by Hana Ros and Matteo Farinella from the Neurocomic team to take part in their neuron illustration event.

It was exciting to see the foyer of the Barbican came alive as neuroscience took various forms in performance, visual arts and film.  In between setting up microscopes and helping visitors with their drawings of neurons, I made a start on a new canvas.  This one features the Spanish neuroscientist, Santiago Ramón y Cajal.
