Painting Africa 01

I want to introduce you today to a new artist who joined my new website “Painting the Music”, totally dedicated to Music and Dance Artworks. His artist name is BARRY, he was born in Rwanda, studied arts there and is now living in Cameroon. Living from tone’s own art is not possible there (like in most of the other places of the world, but there it is of course even more difficult), and he chose to make a career in Book Cover Design. This is by the way how I met him some weeks ago, an exciting project which includes me, more concretely one of my Obama portraits, is taking shape right now.. more details will be published here when the project has come to completion.

Anyway I asked Barry if he had some African music and dance paintings, and indeed he has!. To my delight he agreed to join my World of painting the music, and he has published there already 6 African dance paintings.I would appreciate you all to have a look at his paintings, and if possible, to support him in anyway you can. He has his artwork for the first time in internet, a totally new world has opened to him, and I want him to enjoy it as much as possible! I tell you, that guy has much courage, much talent and much heart! This should be rewarded…

Flamenco in Space

Flamencoscpae 16 - by Miki

My last flamenco creation, in a mixed technique of pastel and digital art

As Kev Moore saw it he said:

“This would have been a great cover for the album by the Flamenco rock Group Carmen, Fandangos in Space…”

Ok, I will go for it. Just need the musician to make the album now…but I would like some kind music like Steve Stevens in his album “Flamenco a Go Go” to go with it, less traditional than the usual flamenco, more modern and rocky, with some electric guitar on it.

Any musician out there interested in making a new flamenco album with this artwork as a cover? 

In the meanwhile, f anybody here wants to buy a print of my Flamencoscape, it is available in different sizes and on different supports (papers, canvas), in my FAA Gallery here:

And if you like Steve Stevens, he is in my FAA Gallery too,
