I Painted Nikola Tesla (4 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

Have you seen the famous photo of Nikola Tesla reading a book in front of a big spiral coil?

Well, here’s my take on it!

In my art, inspired by the photo, Tesla contemplates his ideas while holding a ball of energy, or what he called a ‘fireball’: he mentioned in his diary unusual fireballs that appeared during his experiments.

In the background we see the universe: the source of his ideas, the ‘core’. He said, “My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.”

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
