My Soul, My Voice


The Flamenco is a personal expression of emotion that is artfully danced to the rhythm of a soulful guitar melody.  That connection between the dance and the music is a message that carries the audience through an emotional journey that reflects the complexity of the dancer's steps, claps and shouts. The dance with all it's movements, swirls and song is the dancer's voice.

So it is with this painting that recreates the dance with vivid and passionate colors and design.  I have allowed the Flamenco Soul music to guide my hand and brush to create a personal experience on canvas that relates to you the soul of the artist.  This is my voice.

“The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.”
~ Charles Baudelaire
