“Nocturne’s Crescendo”

Midnight Jazz art series

150 x 100 cm, mixed media on aluminum panel, backlight, 2023.

“In creating ‘Nocturne’s Crescendo,’ I sought to transpose the visceral essence of jazz — its soul, its complexity, its vibrancy — onto canvas. My inspiration was drawn from the ephemeral moments of harmony that arise within the chaos of a jazz performance, where every musician contributes to a dialogue greater than the sum of its parts. This painting is my ode to the fluidity and spontaneity of jazz; it’s a visual representation of the way notes can hang in the air like a mist, or burst forth with the brilliance of stars against the midnight sky. It was my intention to capture not just the sound of jazz, but the feeling—the electric, raw emotion that it stirs in the soul. The brushstrokes are my instruments, and the colors are my notes, all coming together to form a composition that, I hope, resonates with the rhythm of the night and the spirit of improvisation.”
