Fujitsu-Siemens:
Reuniting the biosphere
(Oil on canvas
plus mixed media, 1.3m X 1.5m, 2007)
Two themes about
Fujitsu-Siemens’ partnership with Intel: the product (user-friendly notebooks
with mobility and connectivity) and the production (sensitivity to the natural
environment).
The star in this painting is Tandy,
my good friend's beautiful cat (also a collector of my fish paintings!). She is in
communication with her fish friends deep underneath the ocean, made possible by
Fujitsu-Siemens notebooks which give real-time connectivity between different parts of our
world. Through such contacts, animosity disappears, harmony is reinstated and antipodes
get reunited.
The tropical water background
symbolizes the richness of life forms in our biosphere and Fujitsu-Siemens’ devotion
to less polluting and wasteful PC production --- witnessed
by being the first manufacturer awarded the “Blue Angel” labeling and their
partnership with environmental groups such as the WWF.
The painting was mostly done by oil
paints on canvas, with the notebook part made by transferring digital images, in order to
accentuate the high resolution feature of the screen.
This work is a celebration of life
for all denizens in our biosphere, where Fujitsu-Siemens notebooks are warmly welcomed as
partners.
