Title: The pray of a mother after her son received a craniotomy for stroke

Year: 2013

Artist’s note:
The lying patient is my younger brother who just recovered from a deep comatose status due to complete thrombotic blockage of the left-middle cerebral artery (M1). Initially, the thrombectomy by the radiologists was not successful. I did a F-T-P craniectomy for decompression of the severely swollen brain. Two weeks later he awoke again, but still had complete paralysis of his right-side limbs. EC-IC bypass surgery for circulation of the left cerebral hemisphere was then performed. This picture was painted to depict my mother's prayer to God for her son's recovery at the neurosurgical ICU after the operation. Praise God, he recovered quite well and was able to resume his career in business after rehabilitation.

Henrich Cheng, M.D Ph.D.

Chairman, Department of Neurosurgery
Neurological Institute,
Taipei Veterans General Hospital.

Professor, School of Medicine
National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan

Since childhood, Dr. Cheng has learned various arts from several artists, including sketch and water-painting from Inyen Wu, and Janson Chang as a teenager. He learned acrylic and oil-painting from master EnSheng Yang and worked with him to do murals in the Taipei Municipal Jianguo High School. He joined the fine arts club led by artist Jay Ma at National Yang Ming University. He also learned Chinese painting from Yushow Gu for several years in this period. Dr. Cheng was a frequent winner of drawing competitions in the country, and once internationally, before he started his medical career. However, he still continued with water and oil paintings as a hobby during his busy medical career. His role model in painting was Cezanne, who was as important to his life as was the role of Harvey Cushing for Neurosurgery.

Media: Oil on canvas

Artist's note:
Creativity has non-verbal right brain elements that can be channeled. It is sometimes difficult to know when to stop as there is always a risk that the next brush stroke will overload the canvas. Overthinking an abstract painting can ruin it.
