Nikola Tesla

The Artification of the Puck Model

Nikola Tesla was not chosen for what he invented, but for the way he thought.

Painting created by Italian-American artist Mamiki Bayou. 2x2mt canvas.

Tesla's genius

Imagine opening a box. Inside, the pieces of a genius, like fragments of an unfinished dream. It is a special box: each component tells a story, a vision that marked our time. Inside, the essence of Nikola Tesla is encapsulated, but not neatly. No, it is as if his most brilliant ideas have been disassembled and distributed in a thousand pieces, ready to be reassembled only by those who have the key to understand them.

At the heart of the box is a large antenna, disassembled, that once stood tall as a beacon for his experiments on electromagnetic waves. It was Tesla's dream of transmitting energy wirelessly, of giving the world universal access to what could have been an energy revolution. A dream that, however, like all his most advanced ideas, remained unfulfilled.

Alongside, swirls of lines and shapes that seem to dance in the void represent the mysterious flow of invisible waves. Waves that Tesla perceived but that we, in our time, struggle to understand. These vortices are also a symbol of the frequency that permeates the universe, a frequency that for Tesla was the key to deciphering the secrets of nature. And in these vortices also lies another profound meaning: the rosettes of churches, those designs that for Tesla were not just works of sacred art, but a representation of the music of the universe. Every shape, every curve, every wave was connected to a perfect frequency, the one Tesla sought to reproduce to generate clean, free energy.

Then, deeper down, there are the dark whirlpools. A spiral that tangles around itself, like an unsolved mystery. They are the sign of his death, which occurred in the shadows of a New York City that could no longer comprehend his genius. Tesla's mysterious death is accompanied by another great enigma: the disappearance of his notes. Almost as if someone wanted to erase his legacy, his plans for a better world.

The painting is a tribute to this visionary genius, a way to remember the man who wanted to unleash energy for everyone, for free. A man who impacted our world, a world that today is trying to embrace his ideas, but never had time to see realized what would change our daily lives forever.

Artification

Artification is the process through which a cultural figure is distilled into a formal, chromatic, and perceptive language.

In the Puck model, Tesla's thinking translates into concentration, balance, and quiet energy.
