Violin

The music is not only heard — it is seen, felt, and revered.
This piece is a tribute to the violin, which I consider the king of musical instruments. A symbol of sensitivity, passion, and awe.

I worked with a personal technique: I gathered leaves from my own land and, after applying the first layer of paint, carefully placed them onto the canvas. Using cotton and acrylics, I gently pressed and traced their imprint with reverence.

I wanted to show how music touches nature, the body, and the soul.
Within the painting, two shadowy figures emerge — one with a violin, the other with a cello. They do not play to be heard. They play to evoke feeling.

I kneel before them. For that is where the eternal lives.

“Violin”
In the forest of sounds, the violin breathes.
Not as an instrument, but as a prayer.
The leaves bow down, the wind falls silent.
And I kneel before the majesty of music
that touches my soul with its bow.
Art does not shout —
it simply adds color to life.
Maria Sarri-Belle
