I have been commisioned to create two artworks as wall murals for the MADURO Jazz Club at the Sofitel Singapore.

My Art Statement for this project:

“JAZZSCAPE” and “SONIC CANVAS” are two immersive murals, breathing the soul of MADURO, a space where rhythm and melody intertwine to create an atmosphere that resonates with the spirit of jazz. As the artist behind this creation, I sought to encapsulate the dynamic energy and improvisational spirit that defines the genre, translating it onto the walls of MADURO.

The murals unfold like a musical composition, with each stroke representing a note, each color echoing a tone, and the overall composition show the soul of jazz. The visual narrative is a celebration of the varied instruments that come together to create the magic of jazz.

The central motif of the mural are stylized jazz silhouettes, where instruments and musicians merge seamlessly, symbolizing the collaborative and interconnected nature of jazz. The figures are dynamic and fluid, capturing the essence of improvisation and the spontaneity that defines jazz performances. Through the vibrant colors and bold shapes, I aimed to convey the vivacity and rhythm inherent in this musical genre.

Incorporating iconic jazz instruments such as saxophones, trumpets, and pianos, the mural pays homage to the roots of jazz while also embracing its timelessness. The interplay of abstract elements and figurative representations creates a visual rhythm that mirrors the syncopated beats and syncopated lives of jazz musicians.

“JAZZSCAPE” and “SONIC CANVAS” are more than just murals; it’s a living testament to jazz. It invites the audience to explore the interconnectedness of artistic expression, uniting the realms of visual and auditory stimulation. As the mural adorns the walls of MADURO, it serves as a visual anthem, encapsulating the very heart and soul of the jazz experience—bold, vibrant, and timeless.

THE JAVA JAZZ FESTIVAL in JAKARTA is always one of my highlights in the year. The festival gives me the opportunity to combine my two main passions, Music and Art, or should I say Jazz and Art. I am attending the Festival since five years in a row and every year brings some great musicians on the plenty stages.

It is one of the most intense weekends that you possibly could have if you are a Jazz Fan. A great feature is the stay in the official Hotel Borobudur, where I join the musicians for the after show jam sessions on the hotel bar stage until dawn.

The past weeks I have worked on the photos I took during the past five Java Jazz editions and would like to present a few works. As most other photographers at the festival I’m not interest in stage or musician shots but more to capture the audience and the movement of the audience. The light settings makes it perfect for me to turn the spectators into blurred silhouettes and abstract figures.

Back in my studio I have added my own reflections to each image, reworking it with paint and texture and finalized the work on acrylic, metal, resin coated wood panel or canvas. All limited edition of 10.
