CHOPIN ÉTUDES
Inspired by a world-renowned pianist’s performance of Chopin’s Études at one of my art dinners, this series emerged as a visual translation of music—its emotional depth, complexity, and lyricism rendered in paint.
In my earlier work, beginning in 2014, I was already titling paintings using musical forms and structures, drawn to the expressive parallels between sound and image. When a world-renowned pianist later performed Chopin’s Études at one of my art dinners, that longstanding dialogue found a renewed and concentrated focus.
The intricacy of Chopin’s compositions and their emotional depth resonated deeply, prompting an impulse to translate music into visual form. This encounter led to the creation of over twenty-five works, each conceived as a response to the shifting rhythms, tonal variations, and quiet intensity embedded within the music.
Rather than illustrating sound, the paintings seek to embody its essence, moments of restraint and release, density and openness allowing intuition and gesture to guide the process. Each work functions as an interpretation, shaped by both memory and immediacy.
Through this series, I continued an exploration that has long informed my practice, examining the space where music and painting converge as shared emotional languages. The works invite the viewer into that convergence, offering an experience shaped as much by feeling as by form.
