'Pintura' is the Spainish word for Painting.
 
This work was inspired by a special personal journey I took to Valencia, Spain, to see the paintings of Vangelis, a Greek composer who’s music has been very inspirational to my work.
 
The music of Pintura is very powerful, dramatic, moving and dynamic, reflecting my feelings and emotions felt from the energy of the paintings at the exhibition.
 
Pintura feels like a film score but more a soundtrack to the exhibition of paintings by Vangelis. 
The music features Strings, powerful Drums and Timpani, Piano, Choirs, Fultes and Duduk.
 
Pintura is a very personal journey for me and an experience I will never forget. 
 
I was sadly unable to use any of Vangelis's paintings for the cover art and so went in search for the right artist with the right depth of painting, colour, to help me capture what I was looking for. 
I was very blessed and fortunate to discover the wonderful 'Sunset' series of paintings by Cornish artist Jane Beecroft.
Her amazing paintings really help to capture the depth and spirit of the music through painting and is the perfect visual companion for this album.
