DISAX.ART

My work explores a world of the impossible, the improbable, and the incongruous.

Using paint and ink, I create "visual improvisations" that reimagine everyday scenarios with a touch of humour.

Drawing inspiration from the precision of Escher and the communal spirit of Lowry, these studies often hide the saxophone within surreal landscapes. Vibrant orange accents represent the "voice" of the music—fluid, messy, and full of life. It’s an extension of the same breath and discipline that drives my music.

When I’m not playing or painting, my inspirations come from the simple pleasures of reading and gardening.

Would you cross the rope bridge? Double perspective makes it a challenge for all.
A precarious rope bridge stretches between two slender masts, serving as a high-altitude thoroughfare for various travellers. Below, a lone figure serenades the ground-dwellers with a saxophone, his music drifting up toward the suspended walkway.

Just imagine what a work bench would look like if Heath Robinson designed the saxophone

A gardener oversees the ancient architecture as the tourists explore the impossible geometry.
A grand, classical monument stands at the top of a wide staircase, bustling with tiny silhouetted figures. Atop the massive lintel, life continues in miniature, with figures tending to oversized potted plants that crown the structure.

Day or night, an astronomer looks out from his position atop the impossible building, whilst day-to-day life continues in the multidimensional park below.
An impossible architectural cube serves as a hub for exploration and leisure. While some figures navigate stairways that defy gravity to peer through telescopes at the moon, others relax in the arched shadows below, accompanied by the faint notes of a saxophone
