The Experiment of Doctor Tenebricus

The art expresses a troubling concept about how ancient, cosmic forces can manipulate human thirst for knowledge, using scientists as instruments to blur the boundaries between worlds.

Doctor Tenebricus, consumed by a hunger for scientific progress, represents a vulnerable figure who becomes a puppet in the hands of dark, divine entities that lurk behind it all. These forces, embodied in the image of a gigantic octopus whose tentacles entwine the laboratory, compel Tenebricus towards experiments that open gateways to horrific, unfathomable realms.

So, human pride and the quest for knowledge, if not properly restrained, can become a vulnerability exploited by ancient, cosmic beings. The painting conveys the artist's anxiety that science, devoid of ethical constraints, can become a tool in the hands of powers that exceed our comprehension.
