The myth of right-brained scientists and left-brained artists is completely dispelled by Georg Douglas. The man used to be a geoscientist before he turned to the more profitable profession of visual artist. Though he chooses to paint flowers rather than rocks or strata, he uses his special background by integrating not only visible aspects of the plants, like the petals, but also those science-y invisible parts like the proteins and tissue. This ultimately creates jumbled works with subjects that are clearly flowers but are also complicated and take some time to work out. These are not your typical still-lifes.
