21st Century Music Room w80 x h80 x d1cm, oil on board |
This expressive oil painting began with a title that arrived in a hypnapompic moment — a gift from that threshold between dreaming and waking. I held it in mind as I laid down the first “energy layer” of Neutral Tint, painted instinctively, unthinkingly, as if channeling a life force onto the board.
Over days, I returned to the surface, scrying emerging forms and allowing the painting to reveal what it wanted to become.
A centrifugal pull shaped the central structure — the inner room where music forms — and from the same energetic ground arose mountains, feather‑trees, steps, and, quite unexpectedly, a gentle, luminous squirrel.
Every element surfaced organically from the initial field of marks, creating a metaphysical landscape that reflects how music moves through me: mysterious, intuitive, and alive.
