"Liquid Crystals" is a remarkable fusion of technology and artistic expression, capturing the essence of the beauty found within our world and beyond. The artwork embodies a harmonious unity, achieved through the combination of individual paintings of liquid crystals, each photographed using a microscope, and then meticulously painted by a robot using acrylic paints.
The use of liquid crystals as the subject matter reflects the interconnectedness of nature, science, and art. The microscopic exploration of these crystals through the lens of a microscope reveals a hidden world of intricate structures and vibrant colors that are often invisible to the naked eye. By presenting these microscopic wonders on a larger scale, the artwork invites viewers to appreciate the beauty that lies beneath the surface of our everyday perception.

The composition of the painting is carefully orchestrated to ensure that each individual image of the liquid crystals seamlessly integrates into the whole. It does not matter from what angle to look at the work and how to rotate it: in any case, it will form a single artistic whole.
Through skillful arrangement and consideration of color, form, and texture, the disparate elements come together to form a cohesive and visually captivating tapestry. This unity symbolizes the interconnectedness and inherent harmony present in the world and the broader universe.

The databases that help to create art of neural networks mainly consist of photographs taken by people in everyday life. In this case, we are dealing with objects that are not visible to us in everyday life, not created by man, which allows us to attribute the work "Liquid Crystals" to the non-human domain.

In summary, this composite canvas painting embodies the beauty of our world and the universe through a harmonious union of individual images of liquid crystals. By merging the technological capabilities of a microscope and a painting robot, this artwork showcases the interconnectedness of nature and technology, inviting viewers to appreciate the hidden wonders that lie within our world.
