“I'm not sure whether I became an artist or if, at some point, others simply began to see me as one,” muses Eric. “Even now, when I create, my only true motivation is to craft something I find beautiful—something that moves me. I've been fortunate over the years to have patrons who connect with my work, and their support has allowed me to keep creating and sharing my art with others.”
Eric’s focus as an artist is on the intersection of art and science. He develops ways to capture, manipulate and accentuate natural processes and to incorporate the artistic elements that do not exist in the natural processes. Blurring the line between artist and nature.
“I bend and manipulate 15,000 volts of electricity to create artwork that is a testament to the interplay between order and chaos, science and art, and the endless possibilities of creative exploration.”
Get to know Eric better:
What are the primary materials you use to create your art?
High-voltage electricity and wood form the core of my work—they are my primary medium and my starting point. Yet, to bring each piece fully to life, I draw from a wide and evolving palette of materials and techniques. Traditional elements like oils, acrylics, lacquers, and dyes often make their way into the process, but so do more unexpected touches: burns from gunpowder, pressed flowers and leaves, even materials chosen purely for the effect they evoke. If there’s a feeling or visual resonance I’m chasing, no medium is off-limits—anything is possible.
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you’ve ever been?
I’ve been fortunate to travel the world, to wander through flower markets in Amsterdam, lose myself in the medinas of Fez, and stand in awe before architecture from every age—each place beautiful, each one a spark of inspiration. Yet, when it comes to my art, the most profound inspiration has come not from the ground, but from 30,000 feet above it. From that height, the world reveals itself in ways it never does below—the winding of rivers, the patchwork of farmlands, the delicate geometry of city streets. Together, they form a vast, living mosaic.
Titles of works can be descriptive or clever or totally unrelated. What’s your favorite title of a piece you’ve named?
My artwork invites a multitude of interpretations, each shaped by the viewer’s unique background, experiences, interests, and education. A neuroscientist might see Purkinje cells, while a geologist may recognize the branching of a watershed. Some see roots or trees, others the cracks in ancient stone. I deliberately choose titles that leave room for personal connection—never to direct the viewer’s gaze, but to allow their own story to surface through the piece. When naming my work, I often draw from the language of electrical science, referencing notable figures in the field. And occasionally, just for fun, I weave in a song title that echoes the mood of the piece.
