A single straight staff rises up the canvas, and a DNA double helix winds around it from base to top until the two read as one column. Maren Hollis built both forms from thick palette-knife slabs of gold and warm sand. The edges are scraped, the rungs of the helix stand up in ridges, and you can see the paint relief catch the light.
Behind the column, broad blocks of slate blue, cream, and sand are laid down in flat, overlapping strokes that deepen to a darker blue near the bottom. The result is a tall vertical wall art piece with the presence of a textured canvas painting, even as a print, and a quiet nod to medicine and the science of life.
It is part of our Healing Symbols collection and suits doctors, nurses, researchers, and anyone who wants science wall art that feels warm rather than clinical. It makes a thoughtful gift for a new practice or a graduation from medical school.
Its narrow, upright shape fits the slim wall beside a door, a hallway, or a reception desk. It works well as medical office decor, dental office wall art, or waiting room decor, and it is just as at home in a study or home office. This canvas wall art brings height and a little gold to any room.
