About this artwork
The brain defines a human being. It weighs approximately 1400 grams and it is estimated to contain up to 85 billion neurons. These neurons form an extremely complex network that eventually defines our personality, cognitive functions (e.g. memory, attention and problem solving) and emotions. This sculpture of your own brain makes it possible to literally hold the substance that defines yourself in your own hands.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Quinten van Geest, a self-taught painter and sculptor with a background in neuroscience, merges acrylic painting, digital sculpting, and 3D printing, often using real brain scan data as his artistic foundation. His work balances spare, quiet compositions with restlessly detailed renderings, transforming vivid scientific imagery into haunting, tactile forms in canvas, mixed media, and bronze. Through his art, he invites profound reflection on the brain's fragility and strangeness, urging viewers to feel the deep, personal significance of the organ that shapes identity, emotion, and love.
