Soley & Michelle - Visual improvisation Duet

The music in our art.
Together we draw inspiration from the creative process of musicians in our collaborative visual art creation. Feeling how gestures, colors and forms imitate rhythms, harmony and discord. We use our visual instruments to spin our art together attempting to create a holistic piece. Soley and Michelle create music on materials, artists longing to expand and go beyond.
