The Cancerous Art of Angela Canada Hopkins:

After losing her father to cancer in her last year of art school, Colorado artist Angela Canada Hopkins discovered a method for expressing her grief in her most familiar medium: painting. After researching cancerous cells, she found a spring of bittersweet inspiration—both from the death of her father, and the beauty she found in the form of cancer cells.

Her portrayal of a fatal ailment on a microscopic level leads to colors and patterns not unlike those of abstract modern art; the beautiful irony spills out onto the canvas, creating enlarged galaxies of basic fatal structures.
