Doc's Eyecon

“Doc’s Eyecon” by Peter Bogdanov – Live Painting Series
Acrylic on Canvas | One-of-a-Kind | Permanent Collection – Private Medical Office
Created in the electric atmosphere of a studio celebration, “Doc’s Eyecon” is more than a painting—it’s a living moment. On this unforgettable night, Peter Bogdanov painted live before an audience while also performing on stage with the band, weaving together brushstrokes and melody in a rare dual expression of artistry.
The subject of the piece was a guest of honor that evening: a distinguished OBGYN whose life’s work centers around delivering life itself. Instead of a traditional portrait, Bogdanov chose to focus on a single, powerful symbol—her eye.
Rendered with haunting clarity and surrounded by energetic abstraction, the lone eye in “Doc’s Eyecon” becomes a portal: observant, unwavering, and full of story. It is the eye of a doctor who sees beyond surface symptoms—a trained gaze that has witnessed creation, crisis, and the quiet strength of the human body. The surrounding textures and brushwork hint at motion, music, and the spirit of the celebration, while also nodding to the complexity and grace of her work.
The title, a clever fusion of “icon” and “eye,” encapsulates the dual meaning: a tribute to a modern-day healer and a study of what it means to truly see.
Now displayed in her medical office, this one-of-a-kind piece stands as both a personal gift and a public testament—a reminder that vision, in all its forms, is sacred.
