The Red Violin

A melody emerges, painted in light,
Passion’s chords glowing against the night.
The violinist’s gaze, upward and free,
Echoes the song of eternity.

Crafted in acrylics, bold and bright,
Dynamic contrasts in shadow and light.
Rich reds and blues create vibrant tones,
A striking homage to music’s own.

This acrylic on canvas channels a neo-baroque pop expressionist aesthetic, blending classical drama with contemporary visual language. The chiaroscuro-inspired lighting, stylised facial expression, and intense chromatic contrasts evoke the spirit of Caravaggio or Artemisia Gentileschi, recontextualised through a digital-age sensibility. The textured blue backdrop heightens emotional tension, anchoring the figure in a space that feels both timeless and modern.
