Music and visual art have always shared a deep, emotional connection. When melody meets brushstroke, the result is a unique fusion of rhythm, color, and expression. From abstract interpretations of sound to portraits of iconic performers, art inspired by music resonates with both the eyes and the soul. Here’s how artists around the world are turning tunes into visual masterpieces.
Abstract Soundscapes
