MUSICAL INFLUENCES

These Drawings and Paintings show my love for the talented and beautiful musical artists also in which I specifically look up to for beautiful messages. Marvin Gaye is a very relatable artist to me. He made music that truly brought an uplifting feel. He had his own unique signature sound that gives his songs that spark of bliss. His songs aren't just about his love, but his love for the world, love for God, and love for life. Because of this, he truly is an Original, Unsung singer. For the love of jazz music, I did a Miles Davis project with an abstract path background derived from listening to his renditions of the song In A Silent Way. The paths lead to his soul in which I have captured. Billie Holiday's portrait is quite an exquisite one. I have used a gestural technique to give her body and skin a texture pleasing to the eye and created a gold abstract background to give off a soulful and sacred vibe. Towards the end of 2019, a had the great opportunity to work with greatness and that is the Daughters Of Legacy who are the daughters of some of the greatest musicians and artists that have ever caressed a microphone. It truly brought me out of my comfort zone and the rewards that came from it were endless! I explored deep within my passion for music and expressed my all for these icons.
