🎵 Original music by NiQo
Each painting in the Le Chant des Éléments series comes with its own musical composition, written and digitally arranged by NiQo.
The piece begins with a distant tremor — a gentle motion beneath the surface. The strings enter quietly, already present like a memory, tracing the first steps of a journey through golden light. Layer after layer, the sound deepens: the texture grows warmer, richer, like a sun rising over silent waters.
Midway through, something shifts. The harmonies expand, the rhythm pulses with more confidence. Still subtle, still meditative, but undeniably radiant. The violins now soar slightly higher, carried by invisible winds. This is not a departure — it is an ascent. A voyage toward the inner sun, where motion becomes presence, and light becomes sound.
A journey into the core of light
Set within a burning red expanse, Le Voyageur Solaire sails alone toward the half-revealed golden disc that dominates the horizon — a sun, a symbol, a silent promise. The engraved textures and crimson tones evoke a sense of inner ignition, as if this vessel were navigating through fire itself. The boat’s course feels both inevitable and mysterious: is it a beginning or a return, a farewell or an awakening? Between the scorched lines and radiant light, the painting opens a space beyond time — a call to move forward, to surrender, to burn, and to become.
About the Series – Le Chant des Éléments
Le Chant des Éléments is a series of three paintings, each inspired by one of the fundamental forces of nature: fire, earth, and water. Though distinct, all three pieces share a common breath — the element of air — which flows through their textures, symbols, and musical compositions. Golden circles, runes, and abstract geometries evoke timeless movements: a voyage, a presence, a crossing. Each artwork is paired with an original soundtrack composed and digitally arranged by NiQo, blending rhythm and silence into a sensory dialogue. Created specifically for Arte Uster 2025, this series invites the viewer to feel, listen, and follow the quiet resonance between image and sound.
