NANOART is a new art discipline related to micro and nanosculptures (sculptures at molecular and atomic levels) created by artists and scientists through chemical reactions and physical processes and visualized with powerful research tools like Scanning Electron and Atomic Force Microscopes. The scientific images of these structures are captured from the advanced microscopes mentioned and further processed using different artistic techniques to convert them into artworks showcased for large audiences.

My art is a reflection of the technological movement. I consider NanoArt to be a more appealing and effective way to communicate with the general public and to raise the awareness for Nanotechnology and its impact on our lives. Nanotechnology deals with the synthesis, manipulation and characterization of matter at the sub-100 nanometers level. Nanotechnology is still an emerging area although commercial products are already on the market. Nanotechnology is a very powerful combination of technologies that could be extremely beneficial or extremely dangerous, including life threatening. I think the best way to keep things under control is Knowledge. Not only governments and military should know about these developments, but the general public should be informed. My images being attractive to the public from the esthetic point of view awaken the curiosity of my audience. As a result, people ask questions and have open discussions around these new technologies.
I bring the small world in front of my audience through high resolution electron microscope scans  of  natural micro  or   nanostructures   and nanosculptures I create by physical or/and chemical processing. I paint and manipulate digitally the monochromatic electron images and print them on canvas or fine art paper with archival inks specially formulated to last for a long time.
NanoArt is not Photography. The depth and three dimensions achieved in NanoArt set this process of electron imaging apart from Photography, where images are created by photons (particles of light) rather than by electrons (electrically charged particles). The electrons penetrate deeper in the structure creating images with more depth, more natural 3D-look than the photographic images.
