Dr.
Finzi Illustrates
Art
+ Science = Total Body Balance
A true,
modern-day Renaissance man, Dr. Finzi is a board-certified
dermatologic surgeon, Ph.D., licensed biochemist, and molecular
biologist, as well as an accomplished painter and sculptor.
With the visual acuity of an artist and the skilled hands
of a sculptor, Dr. Finzi applies his artistic ability to his
medical practice by finely sculpting bodies using the Tumescent
liposuction technique. "I realized how art and science
shared in the fundamentals of adding, subtracting and balancing,"
says Dr. Finzi. "Most of my patients are asymmetric and
my objective is to construct a more symmetric and natural
flowing shape."
Dr. Finzi
approaches each person as he does his art, as a "work
in discovery." He preserves natural curves, enhances
contours, and creates balance and proportion. He sees the
whole picture and tailors a look that combines inner beauty
with outer balance that often produces life-altering results.
Dr. Finzi explains, "The psychological and emotional
impact you can have on a patient is one of the most rewarding
parts of my job. It's comforting to know that I can make a
profound difference in their life."
Dr.
Finzi's Art Background
Dermatologic
surgeon Eric Finzi, M.D., Ph.D., is also an accomplished sculptor
and painter. His serious study of art began at age 13 with a
scholarship to New York City's prestigious Pratt Art Institute.
At the University of Pennsylvania, he studied fine arts and
biochemistry simultaneously, often blending scientific and artistic
experimentation. Throughout medical school, a doctorate, and
a post-fellowship in molecular biology, Dr. Finzi continued
to create works of art.
After finishing
his residency at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Finzi opened his own art
studio in Kensington, Maryland, where he works two days a
week. Departing from his traditional oils on canvas and wood
sculptures, he is now experimenting with epoxy resins. Using
heat and viscosity, Dr. Finzi applies epoxy resin and oil
paint with unconventional tools-syringes, straws, and cut-out
paper cups-to create vibrant, multilayered abstract works
on wooden canvases. In many cases, Dr. Finzi allows the painting
to create itself. He explains, "The painting paints itself,
and I'm simply the director. Each piece is an experimental
discovery and centers on visual complexity. I could never
make something as complex as what the chemicals create. So
I let 'it' tell me what to do, flow with the process, and
let the story naturally unfold."
Finzi,
an award-winning painter and sculptor, exhibits his artwork
in New York City and Washington, D.C. galleries.
