The Soul Pianist's Look Artwork

The security and closeness of midnight, tiredness of the player, the abandonment of defenses layer by layer constitute a primal ground for music sound in itself. It’s a treasure to hide, a precious secret: sound, body and self form a wholeness of a deeply intimate kind. This can’t be recorded and distributed, there is a limit. But sometimes, in tiny concertant performance by a pianist as honest as possible you may get a tinge of the magic. This work is a lockdown work, and of course reflects personal experiences. I traditionally use wet bonding tape to fix and stretch my large-sized drawings to the drawing board. Cutting the ready artwork off leaves a protective rim of about 2 cm around the image area. By this it comes a little bigger than specified—with a rim. This allows to show the full image when framed. For other ways of presenting you are free to take it off—or to see it as an integral part of the beautiful work, as I do.
