waviparti, as the artist persona is named, demonstrated artistic talent at an early age, but did not initially pursue art as a career since the concern with the ability to earn a livable income in New York City took precedence. Inevitably, waviparti returned to the creative self, and graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

In the artist’s life, questions about entanglement, many-worlds interpretations, arrow(s) of time, consciousness, entropy, asymmetry, black holes, and wave mechanics have developed into an exploration of thought through oil painting and teaching art.
Years spent experimenting with invented techniques have led to the artistic expression of a life lived in the pursuit of understanding existence through creativity. The name waviparti was created from the wave-particle duality in quantum physics, wherein all matter is either a wave or a particle. waviparti explains that a brief life in our classical universe may be a mere visit from a more extended existence in the quantum universe, since we organic creatures occupy much more time than we do space. This led to waviparti’s creation of what is envisioned as a new form of expression labeled Ubisunt Art.

Using the ubi sunt motif, which represents mortality and the transience of life through meditation and reflection, waviparti extended this theme into creative explorations of time and phase transitions of organic creatures. This art movement suspends time with the apparition of manifested thoughts in the space we believe we occupy. Embellished with dark energy and dark matter effects, waviparti’s art reflects the following themes in phases:

Entanglement and Non-locality (Phase I):
The paintings in this exhibit are examples of this phase. As organic plants convert light into energy, waviparti manifests the possibility that they inhabit a variant form of entanglement to create photosynthesis. As organic creatures ourselves, waviparti suspects that a ‘synthesis’ exists in our relationship with light and dimension; and that we exist as a summation of multiple states of ourselves with only one state of particles energized per lifetime. While this measurement occurs in one state at a time, rather than through a collapse of the entire system which would erase it, the question arises: is it then our latent image which is re-energized in a future time?

Phase I represents that these multi-entangled states may be non-local, and that both entanglement and non-locality may be a necessary association for existence. Thus, many of these paintings have a protagonist with an animal head as a symbol of an organic “photosynthesis” event when they embark on a decision. waviparti paints their thought process as dream-like sequences of overlapping images with hidden motifs, metaphors, and symbols.
As the protagonists decide, they exhibit a form of movement, since their decisions are an accumulation of analyzing a problem from different perspectives. Once they arrive at a conclusion to their dilemma, their thought processes clearly reveal the obstacle which was once so hidden, and their logical paths for growth and enlightenment are revealed. The observer connects these thoughts and obstacles for a solution to the equation.

Many-Worlds Interpretation (Phase II)
waviparti’s art is informed with a search for knowledge in Quantum Physics. Phase II, will be the exploration that there may not be “many-worlds” so much as there may be varied “points of view” in a single quantum world. To create any given point of view, the observer and the senses being used are entangled as one, and therefore meld to create a distinct outcome. Once a measurement is performed, what emerges is an entangled state that merely dissolves into one of the infinite possible transparent histories rushing through our classical universe.
Arrow of Time (Phase III)
In Phase III, waviparti plans to focus on our scientific and emotional understandings of asymmetry and symmetry and the possibilities of multiple existences.

Consciousness (Phase IV)
As yet, waviparti does not fully agree with the myriad of existing beliefs about consciousness (cartesian dualism, epistemological, metaphysical, methodological solipsism, and modern idealism). This phase of the artistic journey will posit an alternative for us to consider. What happens when an artist considers these questions instead of a scientist, or a philosopher? What if the approach is premised in a different form of creativity?
