Live music is an overwhelming experience. Concerts ought to be a place where painters can sit to capture the intensity and velocity of sounds through line and colour.
During the rock concert of Bouzy La Forêt, I coded the energy and intensity of the music with felt tips. I strived to capture sounds in their flight and strangely the singers felt they recognize their music in this fabric of line and colour. This pre painting or colourful scribble forms a living architecture of movement from which a painting will be developed for another journey in transparencies, colour and detail.

The energy, power of sound can be compared to a most powerful waterfall. Music is a fusion of all elements which projects us beyond time. This music inspires children in movement studies to consecrate the Olympic Games. The power, the freedom to move forward.
