About the Artwork:
"In "Rhythmic Resonance," part of the Midnight Jazz Art Series, I sought to embody the interplay of jazz's soulful rhythms and the rich symbolism of Rusyn folklore. This piece is a harmonious fusion of freedom, expression, and tradition.
The spontaneous shapes and dynamic colors improvise the spontaneity of jazz music, while the elements of Rusyn patterns imply deep cultural roots. My intention was to create a visual jazz on the canvas that marries instinctive rhythms with folklore motifs, allowing room for intuitive creation and nostalgia.
The vigorous contrasts and subtle details offer not just a spectacle for the eyes but also a resonance for the soul. The entire work is a metaphor for the harmony between creative expression and cultural identity, inspiring the viewer to immerse themselves in the converging world of music and art."
– Andrew Manaylo
The painting was created with acrylic paints on a uniquely textured composite aluminum panel.
Thanks to the use of spacers, the artwork “floats” on the wall in an aura of beautiful light, made possible by the app-controlled LED backlighting.
