Pain Is in the Brain | Zentangle Artwork is a striking ink drawing that explores the complex relationship between mind and body — where pain, though felt in the flesh, is born and shaped within the brain. Inspired by neurological symptoms linked to Lyme and Lupus, this artwork transforms invisible pain into a structured chaos of interwoven patterns, rhythmic lines, and symbolic repetition.
Each zentangle motif mirrors neural pathways firing, misfiring, and reconfiguring — a visual echo of the brain’s attempt to interpret and contain chronic discomfort. The composition blurs the boundary between science and emotion, precision and surrender, suggesting that pain is not only physical but deeply cognitive, deeply human.
“Pain Is in the Brain” invites the viewer to contemplate perception itself: what we feel, what we imagine, and how the mind translates both into experience. It is simultaneously analytical and poetic — a meditation on resilience, awareness, and the artistry hidden in endurance.
For collectors intrigued by conceptual, neurographic, and psychological art, this piece offers a profound visual dialogue between biology and being.
“The brain remembers pain long after the body forgets.”
