What role does color play in your work?
Color is a visual interpretation of sound quality in my work. A warm color usually indicates a warm tone or sound. Bright colors indicate clear, bright sounds, where a muted color reflects the same type of sounds.
How do your pieces relate to music?
Each piece becomes a natural echo of my inner feelings, ignited by the mystery of improvised melodies and raw emotions that pulse through jazz. It's like stepping into a kaleidoscope of sound, where every note refracts into a dance of light and form. Pixel by pixel, my digital brushes illustrate the syncopated rhythms of a guitar's mournful cry, the playful staccato of a trumpet's riffs, and a double bass's deep, pulsing heartbeat. Melodies morph into swirling expanses of color, harmonies pulse in the interplay of light and shadow, and emotions weave intricate tapestries of texture and form. It's a dance of contention and cohesion, mirroring the very essence of jazz where chaos yields to a breathtaking, unexpected symmetry.
How do you feel when a piece is finished?
Satisfied and amazed at what technology allows me to do.
What is your most important artist tool? Is there something you can’t live without in your studio?
My mind and imagination. Since all of my work is digital and done on a computer it would be hard to live without it.
What books, movies and/or music have inspired you recently?
I’ve been listening to the group Snarky Puppy lately and watching Rick Ruben interviews about creativity on Youtube.
