FINE ART PAINTINGS by RODRIGO LOIS
Molecular Biologist by Training, Artist by chance and by Living
It wasn’t until after a life changing encounter with colon cancer and chemotherapy that I found art. It took looking at death face to face to get the courage to attempt, for the first time, to express myself by painting. 
The wish to create something artistic was always there but for more than fifty years it remained safely hidden beneath layers of “too much to do”. I guess, having nothing to lose makes you bold sometimes. It gave me the courage to finally grab a brush and begin to make timid attempts to say something meaningful.
Some time later I learned that the path to art was through introspection, that by looking inward one can reach a wealth of images that are a mirror of our experiences in life. If one digs deep enough the messages one finds are loud and strong, always mysterious and full of hidden meaning. 
My goal now is to live and to paint life and our world through the eyes of my soul.
