Alexander Tsiaras presents a powerful visualization, based on MRI data, of the miraculous development of a human being, from conception to birth, with a focus on the amazing developments that occur in the first nine weeks, as cells divide to become the highly specialized structures of brain and heart.

"So perfectly organized a structure, it was hard not to attribute divinity to it." 

Tsiaras is the founder and president of Anatomical Travel. From the company's website:

Anatomical Travelogue uses pioneering visualization technology to create awe-inspiring images from deep inside the human body. The images and visualizations are based on actual patient data acquired from MRIs, CT Scans, Electron Microscopy and other medical imaging technologies. Anatomical Travelogue owns the largest 3D library of real, segmented human data in the world - from the molecular level up to gross anatomy.

As an artist and technologist, Tsiaras participated in developing scientific visualization software to enable him to "paint" the human anatomy using volume data. The recipient of numerous awards, including the World Press Award and several Art Directors Awards, Tsiaras and his work have been featured on over 85 covers of magazines such as Life (including an entire edition of Life devoted to his anatomical computer renderings), TIME, New York Times Magazine, Discover, Smithsonian, GEO, and the London Sunday Times Magazine. Most recently, he is the author of From Conception to Birth: a Life Unfolds and The Architecture and Design of Man and Woman: The Marvel of the Human Body, Revealed.
