I am inspired by Pompeii's art. I also try to echo the layered, weathered textures of ancient walls. My goal isn’t to copy the frescoes, but to capture their spirit — how they turn everyday spaces into living art. I also choose to paint all ladies with that stunning Flavian-era hairstyle I absolutely adore.
This collective inward focus reinforces the stability of the pictorial space — a self-contained, bidimensional world where time feels suspended and the act of making music becomes meditative rather than performative. This visual harmony is disrupted by the presence of a single female figure who looks directly outward, meeting the viewer’s gaze. By doing so, she breaks the invisible boundary between the painted space and real space
