Medical Monday

Original Painting by Ashvin Harrison

This powerful piece was showcased during a special event in the USA in 2024. After returning to the artist’s private studio, additional layers of gold shimmer were delicately applied to the stethoscope — enhancing its significance as a symbol of healing and reverence. The original painting was officially released for collector acquisition in February 2025, and is now available to own.

Medical Monday is a tribute to the extraordinary dedication and resilience of medical professionals — a visual symphony born from their stories, their emotional weight, and their unwavering commitment to others. Created using coconut charcoal, acrylics, and oil paint on fine art rolled canvas, the work fuses fine art realism, expressionism, and abstract techniques into one emotionally charged moment.

A unique, made-up technique with dry coconut charcoal and paintbrushes forms the foundational structure of the figure — a medical practitioner mid-thought, mid-duty, mid-universe. Explosions of acrylic paint in cosmic motion rush around the composition, with both thin lines and thick impasto splashes painting a vibrant spectrum that speaks of life, hope, and humanity. At the very heart of the artwork, a small yet profound detail: the planets of our solar system, each rendered in accurate colour, suggesting that within the healer’s mind exists an entire universe — one they strive to balance and protect.

To emphasise the importance of care and connection, a luminous gold shimmer has been added to the stethoscope — a beacon of life-saving touch. In front of the figure’s head area, a radiant burst of green, blue, purple, and crystal-clear sparkles explodes outward, representing the emotional and psychological impact of service in the medical field. White oil paint is carefully placed to lift and highlight areas of detail and realism throughout the work.

The painting is created on fine art rolled canvas, layered with five coats of soft white gesso, and sealed using museum-grade charcoal and acrylic fixatives. It comes hand-signed on the front in archival art ink, with a full signature and date on the reverse, and includes a certificate of authenticity.
