Description
"Into Turqua" turns a soft, ethereal sound into a visual experience. Gentle turquoise and muted natural tones create a calm, otherworldly mood. Light, flowing brushstrokes echo the rhythm of sound waves, inviting viewers to sense the painting as if they were listening with their eyes.
The title is a creative twist on the word "turquoise." By changing it to "turqua," the artist creates a new word that represents an entry into an imagined world. This new term suggests that the painting is more than just an image. It is a doorway into a space where sound, color, and feeling come together in a calm, dreamlike experience.
