Artist Statement
This body of work is selected out of my musical paintings series, which are originally six paintings. I was exploring movement and steadiness by allowing myself to express my feelings freely on the canvas, putting in mind that they will look totally different at the end, colours wise and shapes wise.
I used oil colours, the palette knife and the brushes; while listening to music I was painting; responding to the rhythm and expressing my feelings. Each canvas had a different melody, and the colours palette is different reflecting the mood of the melody.
