Intimate Tones is about the stillness we return to when everything else demands too much. It begins in that quiet, heavy moment — staring into a dark space, lost in thought, unsure what you’re even waiting to feel. Then, music enters.
It might be a trumpet cutting through the silence.
A piano murmuring beneath your breath.
A voice, soft and sultry, threading light into the shadows.
This painting explores that deeply private moment when music meets emotion and begins to shift the air around you.
Each brushstroke in this piece is a tone. Each layer a vibration. The cool blues and deep blacks don’t just speak, they sing. As you stare into the painting, it begins to feel like the music is being played just for you. In that intimate setting, you’re not just a viewer. You’re a listener. A participant in something lingering, unresolved, and beautiful.
