This abstract painting is inspired by Morten Lauridsen's "O Magnum Mysterium", capturing the ethereal and spiritual essence of the music through an interplay of light and shadow, with swirls of deep blues and purples contrasted by bursts of gold and white light, embodying the profound mystery and reverence conveyed in the choral work.
March of the Titans
This painting is inspired partly by Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons, Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, RV 315, 'Summer'”, and by the march of the Titans in the Greek myths of old. It captures the vivid contrast between the oppressive heat of summer and the dramatic arrival of cooling storms, set in a rustic Italian countryside scene, envisioned as the coming of the end times.
Memories of Sorrow

Moonlight Sonata
This painting is inspired by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement. It captures the interplay of shadow and light, embodying the haunting beauty and underlying melancholy of the piece, while reflecting the painter's complex views on entropy, chaos, and the longing for order amidst the mysterious backdrop of a shrouded city.
Night of a Thousand Stories
This abstract painting is inspired by Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade: The Tale of the Kalendar Prince".

Nocturne
This painting is inspired by Chopin's Nocturne No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 9 No. 1. It seeks to capture the nocturne's reflective and deeply emotional nature through a scene set in a lush, enchanted garden under the glow of a soft moon, reflecting the piece's delicate balance between light and darkness.
On The Nature of Daylight
This painting captures the essence of twilight, where the beauty of daylight fades into the encroaching darkness. The abstract landscape embodies a blend of chaos and order, reflecting a tumultuous yet structured natural world. The canvas is alive with swirling patterns of deep blues and purples, suggesting the mysteries and depths of the night. Against this dark backdrop, bursts of warm oranges and yellows emerge, reminiscent of the last rays of sunlight piercing through the chaos, offering moments of clarity and hope. The abstract forms hint at natural elements - perhaps trees, water, or the silhouette of distant mountains - but leave much to the viewer's imagination, encouraging a search for order within the chaos. This painting is inspired by the emotive composition "The Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter.
River of Woe

The Eye
An underwater scene where ancient ruins are illuminated by a mysterious, glowing orb. Fish and other sea creatures with bizarre, eldritch features swim around, drawn to the orb's light.

The Swan
This painting, portraying a lonely woman, seemingly trapped in a room filled with dusty books and old artifacts, represents the entrapment of a young mind in a world weighed down by chaotic and imprisoning history.
The Valley of Death
A foggy morning in an old cemetery, where ancient, moss-covered gravestones lean haphazardly amidst overgrown vegetation. The mist clings to the ground, obscuring the paths and creating an atmosphere of isolation and timelessness. In the distance, a shadowy figure can be seen tending to one of the graves, adding to the mystery and solemnity of the scene. This painting captures the eerie beauty of the cemetery, a place where the past seems to whisper to the present, and the boundary between the living and the dead feels momentarily thin.
The Wheel of Time
This painting seeks to encapsulate the turning of the wheel of time and its effect on the world, from the splendid dawn of Creation to the decay of all things, intertwining also childhood memories, and a deep-seated belief that the world is in an ever-changing state of entropy, turning and turning to reach but a semblance of order that may never come.
Twilight Mirror
This haunting scene depicts an ancient, overgrown forest at twilight, with shadows that seem to move and whisper secrets of the old world. In the center, a clear, serene pond reflects the last light of day, surrounded by twisted trees. This symbolizes the thin veil between the known and the unknown, the serene beauty that exists on the edge of chaos.
Wisdom
Like the painting “Dysphoria”, this painting also expresses a blend of mystery, beauty, and subtle, supernatural undertones, but is instead focused on the enlightenment and serenity that can come from knowing the truth and being at peace with it.
