Musical and other landscapes
A Landscape's definition is extensible; It can show recognisable reality, topografically, but also the opposite, in other words, interpreted completely abstract.My work contains all of it. Most musical of course, are abstract works inspired by music, the socalled 'Musical Landscapes'.dated 1988 until 2011, comment to the artist (click on an image to enlarge an artwork)
