Like most of his pieces, artist, Patrick Joseph Joven, loves to draw inspiration from his background in both music and healthcare. This pieces is entitled “Cadenceus” which is a neologism brought about by combining the words caduceus (the staff of hermes which was a mistaken, but now well known, symbol for medicine) and cadence (meaning rhythm, specifically to Patrick’s background as a drummer and percussionist). This drawing was both a nod to his passions as well as his belief that music can be medicine.
