My music paintings are digital artworks created from photographs I take while working at live concerts and music events. Each piece begins as a real moment captured during a performance before being transformed into a digital painting that emphasises the atmosphere, emotion and energy of live music.

Every painting starts with a photograph that I have taken at a live concert, festival or music event. I then use the image as the foundation for a digital painting, carefully reworking colours, textures, lighting and details to create a unique piece of artwork inspired by the original performance.

Yes. The paintings are based on genuine photographs taken at real concerts and live music events. Because I work as a professional concert photographer, every artwork originates from an authentic performance rather than a staged or stock image.

Many music artworks are created from promotional images or imagined scenes. My paintings begin with moments I have personally witnessed and photographed at live events. This allows me to combine documentary storytelling, concert photography and digital painting into a single piece of artwork.

Having spent years photographing live music, I am fascinated by the fleeting moments that happen during performances—the expressions, movement, lighting and connection between artists and audiences. Transforming these moments into paintings allows me to reinterpret them in a more expressive and artistic way.

I accept selected commissions and may be able to create artwork inspired by a particular performance, artist or musical experience. Please get in touch to discuss your ideas and requirements.

Yes. Every artwork begins with a photograph I have personally taken while attending or working at a live concert, festival or music event. I then transform that original image into a digital painting, creating a unique artwork that preserves the authenticity of the performance while introducing a new artistic interpretation.
