Music Translation Painting: Translation No. 2 of Opening (Philip Glass)
Transforming favorite songs into unique works of art for music lovers
I immerse myself in the music I intend to translate. Despite being a novice musician, I read the music scores, sketched them, and even learned some piano pieces to gain a deeper understanding. Sketching and annotating emotions guide my selection of colors and textures, resulting in a series of paintings that collectively interpret a single musical piece. I used water-based and dry media on various surfaces such as wood, metal, or canvas during the painting process.
