A philosopher’s questioning and a scientist’s eye shape Enrique Martínez Celaya’s original approach to art and to life. A world-renowned painter who trained as a physicist, he’s fascinated by the deeper order that “whispers” beneath the surface of things.

This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode "Enrique Martínez Celaya — The Whisper of the Order of Things." Find more at onbeing.org.
