Expressive Art Therapy - Visual Music


My art is based around drawing to music real time building layers of drawings and photographic material in abstract art and partial abstract art mediums.

I record vibrations sensed in music mainly using pastel as a medium of expression.

The aim in my works is to present the fundamental themes that evolve around the four elements found in Nature- earth, water air and fire which are also found within man. Meditations on the images constitute the initial exploration in the themes I research. Next I explore the relationships between the vegetative or inanimate worlds, the animate, the soul and spirit in the human being using specific color schemes that each have a corresponding area in the body as well as any reference to emotive qualities.  The working method includes layering abstract drawings upon photographic materials to illustrate these points.

The integration between visual music and movement, allows oneself to delve deeper into the inner core of the being, a self -discovery journey as well as the relationship to the environment.

Through the creative expression of intuitive drawings, one taps into the senses to reveal the imagination faculty, the unique creative flow that exists from within, to nullify the senses in order to receive. Music enhances memory, thought transformations that bring about a feeling of liveliness as the emotive and cognitive are aligned. It opens a whole new world of possibilities, that of vitality and creative potential within and outside ourselves.
