Self-portrait is a personal and introspective work, combining two distinct artistic domains in which I was simultaneously working on – music and painting. It is the realization of a watercolor collage painting in the abstract musical world of sound by means of introducing voices in layers - thereby creating a sense of depth in the texture, and by translating the blank-white-canvas into silence or the frame into reoccurring musical events.
I relate to the narrative of life as a journey, thereby attempting to capture the realization of life as a process rather than the search for a final destination. I emphasize the importance of the process dynamics by leaving each section of the composition and the composition itself open-ended; consistently avoiding the sense of arrival.
