Pianista

I conceived this artwork to capture the moment an object loses its physical boundaries and becomes pure resonance. In this piece, the piano is no longer a tool of performance but a living entity yielding to the violent authority of sound. Through high-contrast shadows and kinetic linework you can see the visceral distortion of the material world.

The Collection

The Deformations series is a collection of illustrations that explores the literal and metaphorical distortion of forms caused by sound vibration. In these works, performing figures are visually reshaped or dissolved by the kinetic intensity of the sound they inhabit.
