I call my drawings, and many of my paintings, «JaZzArT» because they dance…
Jazz music follows three basic «rules» which are: Improvisation, the player (soloist) as composer and swing. I try to do the same within my artwork. But how do I accomplish it? I’ll tell you…
First, I start by imagining the composition, in other words, visualising it vividly in full detail as I listen to some jazzy tunes; I begin to sketch to the music, following the rhythm and the nuances of the melody; I allow the sketch to «climb up to the canvas» in colours that resemble the chords and the harmonies that I am listening to; then I improvise instead of simply copying the sketch and I let my «soloist» (usually one of the figures within the composition) to lead me on, to tell me the colour, to compose a bit; then I balance the colour wheel within the composition so that it can dance…
Here are some examples of JaZzArT drawings…

What a beautiful way to connect music and art! The way you allow the «soloist» of your work to lead the creation is fascinating; each stroke seems to truly dance to the rhythm of jazz. A visual celebration of improvisation and artistic freedom! 😊🎨🎷✨
