Explorations of Impressions of Music

My exhibition is a sort of retrospect of my art, since I started making works on music themes more than ten years ago. It is one exploration of my variations of moods and feelings invoked by music, specifically classical music. They also mix with my other life experiences, sometimes more dramatic and difficult to accept that they really happened. They also draw me to listen, play, perform, completely dive in everything connected with music and reflect it in my visual art.
