Inspired by the album ''Somethin' Else'' by saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, the painting was built up by various layers of paints, both thick and thin, responding to the different personalities, voices and the colours of their sounds. 

Somethin' Else

Inspired by the jazz standard ‘’Monk’s dream’’ by the jazz giant Thelonious Monk. I wanted to visualise  the unique sounding of Monk's piano playing, his rhythm and melodies characterised by  the unpredictability and the unexpected pauses. I allowed my paints, brushes and colors speak for themselves and move toward foreign directions. 

Monk's Dream

Inspired by the jazz standard ''When Sunny Gets Blue'' written by  Marvin Fisher and Jack Segal.  The harmonious blends of oranges and blues reflect melancholic tone in the beautiful ballad.
