Thanks to our friends at @oliefpr for the incredible complimentary tickets and fourth row seats so we could not only hear the music but see Adam Gyorgy's incredible hands moving over the piano keys. A mesmerising journey through his own music, some Hungarian folk songs and Verdi and Liszt's work all conducted on the solo piano with Bence Szepesi on the clarinet. #Adamgyorgy #improvisationsonthemes #hungarianpianist #benceszepesi #verdi #liszt #cultures #blackculture #powerfulwomen #portraitart #portraitpainting #paintingart #bloggersofinstagram #bloggergirl #artblogger #sgblogger

    Instagram post 2040513281866455605_2617897166 “My paintings try and tell the story of feminine vulnerability, tenderness and fragility. The style is paradoxically chaotic; the brazen and aggressive brush strokes use colours that bear no similarity to my skin; the shameless scale invades my space.
