Detail closeup of David Gilmour Drawn in Procreate 17 x 17 inches 2025
My experience with music is very visual. As I listen to musicians I love I see them as demigods in their own fantastic realms creating reality around them. The universe is flowing into them and out through their instrument creating new worlds and multiverses. I do not believe this is simply my overreacting imagination. Music is a connection that vibrates the universe. It interacts with the fabric of time and space and in doing so creates new realities that are as endless and infinite as fractals. It is impossible for anyone to capture the intensity and complexity of this creative experience but my art is a humble effort to that purpose.
In the Icons gallery I am documenting the moment where sound becomes form. These musicians are not merely performers but architects of the spirit who can bend the air itself with a single note. When I paint these figures I am trying to visualize the swirling energy fields and the colors that erupt when a melody hits the cosmic web. To me an icon is a human vessel that has learned how to tap into the infinite river of time. I see the rhythm as a structural grid that supports the weight of entire galaxies. This series is my way of honoring the masters who have opened doorways for my own creativity. By capturing their essence I am recording a history of how their sound has shaped my own perception of what is possible. These works are a testament to the fact that art does not exist in a vacuum. It is a collaborative dance between the listener and the creator. I hope these images allow you to hear the colors and feel the immense power that resides in the silence between the notes. This is where the human and the divine meet through the magic of frequency and intent.
