Live Painting and Harmonic Music:
A Unique Collaboration with the Levallois Orchestra
On a memorable evening in Levallois, I had the incredible opportunity to combine live painting with harmonic music performed by the prestigious « Orchestre de Levallois ». This special event was set against the backdrop of Mussorgsky’s powerful compositions, creating a unique and immersive experience for the audience. For 30 minutes, as the music resonated through the hall, I painted live on a massive canvas measuring « 2 meters by 10 meters », creating a dynamic composition filled with mechanical elements. The live audience watched in real-time as the piece came to life, the fusion of sound and art unfolding before their eyes. This performance wasn’t just a creative expression; it also carried a deeper purpose. The concert was held in support of the association « Autistes Sans Frontières 92 », an organization dedicated to helping children with autism and their families. I am incredibly honored to have been a part of this event, where art, music, and a good cause came together harmoniously. This evening was a testament to the power of collaboration, and I am grateful to have been part of such an inspiring initiative. Art and music have the potential to transcend boundaries, and in this case, they did just that, creating a moment of connection for a meaningful cause.
