Cassondra De Silva, known by her nom de arte Cat Atom, is an avant-garde artist and futurist whose work exists at the confluence of theoretical physics and artistic expression. Through her abstract explorations, she crafts visceral encounters with the infinite, embodying the invisible architecture of existence through resonant geometry, calculated color theory, and a deep engagement with the fundamental forces that govern our universe. Her practice transforms the abstractions of quantum physics—the science at the heart of the digital age—into tangible aesthetic experiences that challenge perceptions and inspire wonder.

Cat Atom aspires to launch a pioneering art movement to mark the centennial of quantum mechanics’ discovery in 1925, addressing a critical gap in art history. Just as the Industrial Revolution birthed modern art, she envisions an artistic response to the quantum revolution that redefined reality itself. Her mission is to create a visual language for this profound scientific shift, allowing the parallel worlds of scientific and artistic innovation to finally converge.

Her emerging body of work has already received extraordinary recognition, notably with her art selected for the groundbreaking LifeShip Luna Gallery and destined for the AstroLab FLIP Moon rover, launching in November 2025. In her evolving sculptural practice, Cat Atom incorporates metal fabrication and design engineering principles, employing CAD and AI technologies to create biomorphic structures inspired by physics and natural forms. As an autodidact in mathematics and physics, she infuses her work with authentic scientific rigor, building toward future installations where scientific principles become immersive, tangible experiences.

Cat Atom’s scholarly background includes studies in Modern and Contemporary Art and Design at MoMA’s educational platform, European Art History from the 14th to 19th centuries at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and Fine Arts training at New Masters Academy. This academic foundation enables her to situate her quantum-inspired explorations within broader art historical narratives while simultaneously pushing the boundaries into entirely new creative territories.

Her deep understanding of the contemporary art world was shaped by working alongside Kelly “Risk” Graval, an iconic figure in modern urban art. Through roles in art consulting, digital archiving, gallery management, and handling multi-million dollar collections, Cat Atom gained firsthand insight into the industry, which she now leverages as she prepares to unveil her own visionary work to a global audience.

Beyond aesthetics, Cat Atom’s mission is profoundly humanitarian. She creates to honor and cultivate curiosity—the essential spark behind both scientific discovery and artistic innovation. Her work is dedicated to inspiring a wide spectrum of audiences, particularly women in STEM fields, neurodivergent individuals, and children who have experienced trauma. Through her journey and milestones, she conveys a powerful message: that adversity can be transformed into triumph through courage, imagination, and an unwavering belief in possibility.

Cat Atom’s art offers more than a visual experience; it invites viewers into an expansive dialogue about the future of humanity, technology, and consciousness itself—charting a bold new course for 21st-century creative exploration. Learn more here.
