Music
For each series, I create a collection of classical music pieces that accompany the series. It is intended to listen to the music while watching my work. You can find the collections below or on my Spotify page.
When I'm creating a composition for an image I'm inspired by classical music and want to translate the music in my head into rhythm, tones and harmony in my images. As Kandinsky said in Über das Geistige in der Kunst, music has been for some centuries the art which has devoted itself not to the reproduction of natural phenomena, but rather to the expression of the artist’s soul, in musical sound. Music is the art with the highest abstraction and able to convey emotions in the most direct way. I create images in a minimalist, abstract form to try to convey the deep emotions that classical music evoke within me. The extreme precision that I apply in the process of creating the work, feels like playing a musical instrument and therefore lets me feel the emotions that I want to express in my images.
