In this elegant painting, I explore a dialogue between abstraction, music, and timeless style. At the heart of the composition stands a large white grand piano, painted with soft pearlescent tones that subtly shift with the light, giving the surface a vintage yet luminous presence. The musical notes visible in the upper left corner are not random — they are taken directly from Debussy’s Claire de Lune, grounding the work in both emotional resonance  and classical heritage. A champagne glass rests gently on the piano, evoking a sense of celebration and quiet intimacy.

Dripping textures of white, black, and beige paint flow across the canvas, merging pop art influences with expressionism. A black-and-white chessboard pattern adds contrast and rhythm, echoing the structured yet free nature of music. The brushwork is intentionally raw, embracing imperfections and movement. A subtle phrase — like a whispered memory — is embedded in the texture.
