Anopheles

→

The reading of the eccentric book written by Amitav Ghosh, “The Calcutta Chromosome”, caused unexpected effects by the author.

One of the book’s characters is the world’s largest expert of Ronald Ross, an english bacteriologist Nobel Prize-winning in 1902 for his research made in Calcutta on malaria.
Thanks to this research, we know that mosquitoes belonging to genus anopheles are responsible to spread diseases in humans.

Between the mosquitoes with bloated and red blood abdomen, malaria and – above all – associations with B-movies ideas, this image emerges; made with a graphic tablet and Krita.

P.S. After explaining ours “refined” creative processes, we feel much better…

Attention

In a story by Oliver Sacks, a young woman finds herself deprived of proprioception; the image created by me is taken from that story.
