About this image

“Music is my muse,” she continues.  “I am inspired by the gritty undertones and rhythm patterns of the blues. I take a song’s chord progressions and play with the idea of a mirror cord in the colors I paint with. Blending the music and corresponding color notes, I work to create luminous paintings that reflect the emotionalism and improvisational freedom that we find in music genres like jazz.” Like other period visual artists who travel to Paris for renewal, Januszkiewicz found inspiration during the summer she spent in Paris reconnecting with her passion for jazz music and seeing her art in musical terms.  In her latest works she captures movement and expression with optical illusions and bright hues. Her series of musical notations is based on jazz elements with a geometric and color fixation.  These compositions gradually become more structured in a series of musical notations while keeping a loose and flowing touch.  This latest fusion of jazz and painting has infused Januszkiewicz’s work with a rhythm and flow that addresses a new media form and opens new dialogues with other creative art forms and artists. Because of this  approach Januszkiewicz  is becoming more involved with nonconventional interpretations of movement, art and music.www.barbaraj.info
