Above artwork from December 5th, 2018 - Artem Scientia Opening. Featured Artwork: Pandemic, 2018.
Rendering the world map in a red alert of impending emergency, this work is the artist's clarion call: to protect humanity and the only planet we have.

Dr. Obdulio Piloto

Miami’s most unique gallery Artem + Scientia showcases Dr. Obdulio Piloto’s journey expanding eight years developing groundbreaking technology. The gallery is a one-of-a-kind experience for art collectors seeking to have an impact on humanity beyond the arts. We wanted to share with you Obdulio's thoughts on our current pandemic: Coronavirus (COVID-19). In times filled with fear, misinformation, and uncertainty; we recommend you read the entire letter for his distinct perspective. Dr. Piloto has been talking about this for over two years, and his foresight truly left me speechless when the situation escalated to global pandemic a few days ago. Wishing everyone health and calm during this time, Dr. Piloto and his team are monitoring the situation and helping any way they can. "I'm very hopeful for the future and you should be too." -Obdulio

Artem + Scientia Gallery Brings Together the Disciplines of Science, Applied Technology, and Fine Art

HOPE: BREAST CANCER Obdulio Piloto b.1978   A Molecular Portrait of a breast cancer survivor. Encapsulating the experience of combating and surviving cancer as a physical, metaphysical, and existential condition. The juxtaposition of before-and-after portraits represents the underlying dualism that persists in the struggle to overcome cancer, where a survivor's gratefulness for a second chance at life is always accompanied by dark memories of fear. ABOUT THE ARTIST

The artist signs each artwork with paint embedded with encrypted DNA from his genome. Provenance will be tracked on the Blockchain.

HOPE: Breast Cancer, 2016 Obdulio Piloto b.1978 Mixed Media: NuTec Molecular Portrait, Acrylic on Metal Print.   INQUIRE

NuTec Molecular Portraits: a Profile Representing a Person at Their Molecular Level

Dr. Piloto's artworks are made with the molecular signatures generated by NuTec, a radical technology made possible by advances in nanotechnology, organic chemistry, materials science, molecular medicine, and artificial intelligence expanding 8 years in development.

These dots appear insignificant to the human eye, disguising the paradigm-shifting and life-changing power they contain.

His representation of people as NuTec Molecular Portraits remove the cultural, socio-economic, racial, sexual and religious baggage we automatically associate with images of people.

The Making of Dr. Piloto's Art
 

Through different mediums, digital compositions, and an amalgamation of disparate elements, Obdulio Piloto creates ingenious works of art rooted in the complex aesthetic structures of molecular portraiture using the groundbreaking technology of NuTec.

The NuTec device is made up of tiny spots – each with different textures and physio-chemical properties that bind molecules, proteins and cells. The resulting NuTec profile is specific to each person at that moment in time.

Dr. Piloto stands at the vanguard of scientific research, actualizing the possibilities of radically improving human life through the use of deep science and artificial intelligence.

His art seeks to remind us of the interconnectedness of all things, our place in the universe, and the power of unleashing humanity's full potential to create a more hopeful future.

The scanned NuTec slide is then used as the basis for the artwork. Textured, colored NuTec spots constitute the visual vocabulary of Dr. Piloto’s artworks.

Delicately, the artists adds texture using paint to create a truly one-of-a-kind work of art. Lastly, he signs each piece with paint embedded with encrypted DNA from his genome to create a deeper personal connection with the collector.

In 2011, Dr. Piloto co-founded Entopsis, a startup backed by visionary Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel (through Breakout Labs) that developed the groundbreaking diagnostic technology of NuTec. Applying methods of molecular portraiture to create cutting-edge works of art, the noble aim of Dr. Piloto’s art is to raise awareness. ‘Euphoria Ten', 2017 One of a kind artwork – UV reactive acrylic on metal print. 40″ x 60″ The gallery presents the inaugural exhibition ‘A Transcendental Pursuit’, on view from April 11 through May 11, 2019 featuring the work of Dr. Piloto’s Euphoria and Adversity series. He was born and raised in a traditional Cuban family in Miami’s Hialeah, whose humble beginnings exposed him to the realities of human challenges. At the age of 8, he lost his great-grandmother to cancer, an experience that initiated his interest in the sciences and urged his lifelong mission to find solutions for one of the world’s most devastating diseases. ‘Fragmented Mind’, from Dr. Piloto’s Adversity series.
