This elegant and sensual piece was born from a lingering note — that very moment when music doesn’t just play, but settles into the chest like a slow sip of red wine.
The abstract black piano in the foreground becomes both an instrument and a vessel — for sound, emotion, and memory. The glass of red wine resting on the piano is a metaphor: for warmth, for presence.

Paint drips like melodies spilling beyond structure, while the interplay of black,  white, wine-red, and orange tones moves like a jazz phrase — unexpected, improvisational, alive. Notes hidden in chaos, the chessboard pattern — a structure within spontaneity — add elements of retro style and classic elegance.
The phrase “Soul Notes Unfold Slowly Like Wine in Warmth” is an invitation to feel, not rush.

This painting is an atmosphere, a meditation, created in a style blending abstraction and expressionism.
It’s about the music that lives inside us — how it takes time to surface, to warm, to stay.
