Sound and Light Among Shadows

Som e Luz Entre Sombras

Mixed media on canvas90 × 90 cmHeight × width · canvas

I wanted to capture the essence of jazz, where every note is a breath of emotion and every shadow tells a story. The saxophonist, wrapped in the warm twilight of the club, turns light into melody. My figurative-abstract style seeks to translate the improvisation and fluidity of music, with loose lines and impasto creating texture and movement on the canvas. It is a celebration of art that is both felt and heard.
