venous-lymphatic World International Network (v-WIN) foundation mission includes public vein-lymphatic awareness. This same mission is accomplished by reaching out to all the population of the world, delivering evidence-based educational content, but also active engagement in several forms.
Thanks to a network of thousands of colleagues in all continents, v-WIN noticed many vein-lymphatic experts cultivate also artistic skills, capable of enhancing the reaching out for an approachable vein-lymphatic culture. At the same time, all these healthcare professionals are in contact with other ART passionates who could be stimulated in producing material that tells the world about the importance of proper vein-lymphatic care.
This material can be uploaded and showcased to the world for free in this ARTISTIC VEIN portal.
IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE A TOP ART PROFESSIONAL
EVERYONE can & should EXPRESS HER/HIMSELF
for vein-lymphatic awareness
It can be by ulpolading a picture, a painting, a song sung with friends, a dance move, an acting, a poetry, a sculpture, a culinary act, a special sport expression moment, and whatever form of humane expression.
The ARTISTIC contribution should include a brief message from the author explaining the vein-lymphatic connection with the submitted material: for example, a painting of a river going to the sea, as the vein must properly drain toward the heart, a song talking about heart topics and reminding us about the importance of VEIN flow for CARDIO-VASCULAR health.
The ARTISTIC contribution can be just displayed or donated to whoever will make a FREE DONATION to whatever vein-lymphatic health project and/or not for profit organization.
We were created to create…VEIN-LYMPHATIC education, and we hope to enjoy YOUR ARTistic VEIN soon

“A Listening Heart“
Technique : oil on canvas
Size: 53 x 43 cm
Meaning: This artwork portrays the anatomy of the heart and its connection with the venous system.
Within my fist’s tight hold,
A heart in guise, stories untold.
A dream from days of old;
Grace,
Life,
Light unfold.
Defiant, I stand bold,
Emerged it springs, a tale to be told:
Love’s embrace, a battle to face,
Faith nurtured by the quiet space.
Through the sap’s flow,
Or in blood’s steady show,
I’m the breath,
Courage’s flow,
An eternal rhythm aglow.
From your silence profound,
Life’s melody resounds,
Unseen, yet all around,
Back to myself, I’m bound.

Art as Research: radiographs and reflections
The artistic works, for their contents and their techniques, inevitably lead the observer to reflect especially knowing that it was a doctor who created them.
Radiographs represent a vehicle of communication on environmental risks, in particular those related to smoking, they tend to make people aware of diseases such as emphysema, tumors and pulmonary embolism.
