Artwork description

This painting, The Music (Improvisation) (2020), reimagines a Renaissance scene through the lens of abstraction. A seated figure with a lute anchors the composition, rendered with more clarity than the surrounding environment. Her presence evokes harmony and tradition, but she seems adrift within a fractured, shifting world of bold shapes and colors.

Around her, forms dissolve into layered planes of ochre, crimson, blue, and white, blending figuration with abstraction. A mask-like black face emerges in the upper center, its gaze enigmatic, heightening the painting’s sense of mystery. The surrounding swirls and jagged edges suggest rhythm, as though music itself is becoming visible, breaking through the material world in unpredictable currents.

The interplay of order and chaos transforms the act of playing into an allegory of creation. The painting’s energy lies in its tension: a solitary musician conjures harmony while enveloped in a fractured universe, where sound, memory, and imagination blur into a single visual composition.
