Shapes of Music

My works often makes reference to musical elements—tone, pitch, tempo, harmony—visually capturing the essence of sound. The titles of my artworks are a playful way to bring music into my work. I'm interested in drawing from classical music to jazz improvisation, and any musical composition that inspires me. Through assemblage, I build layered compositions emphasising shape, depth, and rhythm, creating a tactile experience that resonates with musical tonality. The interplay of materials—particularly the luminous quality of resin—enhances the sense of movement and harmony, allowing light to shift across the surface like changing musical dynamics. I’m particularly influenced by Bauhaus theories and the cross-model experiments of composers like Messiaen, Scriabin, and Schönberg. Kandinsky’s ideas On the Spiritual in Art guide my exploration of colour’s emotional and sensory impact. My paintings aim to create a dynamic interplay between sight and sound, where layers of form and glowing surfaces invite viewers into an immersive, resonant space.
