The painter has the universe in his mind and hands. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, the quintessential Renaissance man, whose name is synonymous with artistic genius, offers this profound insight into the essence of painting. Born in Vinci, Italy, in 1452, Leonardo's life was a testament to the boundless curiosity and creativity that define the artistic spirit.

Leonardo was not only referring to the act of mere painting; rather he was inviting us to better understand the inner and personal process of an artist. He believed that painters possessed a unique power Ð the ability to capture the vastness of the universe within the confines of their work. He saw painting as a gateway to the exploration of the natural world, a means of understanding the profound interconnectedness of all things, both in science and in art.

Leonardo's relentless pursuit of knowledge, his detailed anatomical studies, and his fascination with the mysteries of the cosmos all reflect his desire to comprehend the world that we have inherited, all these many centuries later. Leonardo's words remind us of the limitless potential within us as we embark on our artistic journey. We too have the universe at our fingertips, a universe waiting to be explored, expressed, and shared with the world.
