Cool Blues
With Cool Blues, I wanted to explore what happens inside a musician during the act of improvisation. The work is part of my Bebop series, in which jazz is not merely the subject of the image, it shapes the composition itself.
Bebop 10
Bebop 10 transforms the intensity of a trombone solo into an explosion of colour, rhythm and movement. The musician and his instrument dominate the composition, pushed close to the viewer as if the sound itself were breaking through the picture plane.
Art Blakey
Art Blakey is a visual tribute to the legendary American drummer and bandleader whose thunderous playing and leadership of the Jazz Messengers helped shape the sound of modern hard bop.
Joe Henderson
This vivid portrait presents a soulful musician deeply connected to his saxophone, with vibrant colors swirling around him like the melodies he creates.
@ the Jazz Club
@ the Jazz Club plunges the viewer into the charged, intimate atmosphere of a late-night jazz club, where musicians, instruments and colour seem to merge into one continuous improvisation.
@ the Jazz Club 2
“@ the Jazz Club 2” enters the heat of a live performance: saxophone, piano and drums converge in a charged moment of improvisation.
@ the Jazz Club 3
A saxophonist leans into the melody while the double bassist and drummer anchor the composition, their figures emerging from sweeping, expressive strokes.
Jazz Carrousel 4
Jazz Carrousel 4 transforms the nostalgic world of the fairground carousel into an exuberant visual improvisation. Horses, brass instruments, piano keys and fragmented musicians tumble through a vivid architecture of colour, movement and sound.
Take 5
“Take 5” is a vibrant digital portrait of two giants of modern jazz: pianist and composer Dave Brubeck and saxophonist Paul Desmond, whose collaboration produced one of the most iconic recordings in jazz history.
Chet Baker
Chet Baker is a visual tribute to the legendary American trumpeter and vocalist, whose delicate trumpet tone and intimate singing made him one of the defining voices of cool jazz.
El Tocaor
"El Tocaor", part of my Bebop series, captures a musician absorbed in the intimate dialogue between player and instrument. Fiery oranges and yellows meet deep blues, turquoise and green, while expressive contours give the scene a syncopated visual rhythm.
After the Gig
After the Gig explores the silence that follows the music. A solitary figure lingers in the foreground while others disappear along a winding street, their dark silhouettes receding into a city still blazing with colour.
Bop-Dance 9
There is a point at which music stops being something we merely hear.
The foot begins to move. The shoulders respond. The body anticipates the next beat before the mind has had time to understand it. Rhythm becomes physical.

Bop-Dance 10
Bop-Dance 10 transforms the energy of bebop into a vivid choreography of colour, line and movement.
