Musicality

A project born out of a unified vision that mixes all forms of art into one…

Dr. Tony Karam, a famous physician and rebowned international pianist was invited by the Peoria Riverfront Museum to give a piano recital in Peoria, Illinois, USA on December 19th, 2021. The venue was decided to be the historic Scottish Rite theater.

As Tony was preparing for his concert he invited me to collaborate with him for this project in transforming his interpretation of sixteen classical musical pieces onto the canvas. This unique and special idea was complementary to my vision of music in that it evokes emotions and emotions move the hand and the colors onto canvas.

The product of this endeavor was sixteen paintings that reflect the story behind every piece and conveys a more complete form of emotion derived from the senses of hearing and vision combined.
