Chick Corea's Hymn Of The Heart is a piece based on a constant tension between form and improvisation—a clear, almost liturgical melody punctuated by unexpected harmonic flourishes. My work evokes this duality: the burgundy rectangle imposes an architecture, a formal rigor, but the torn edges of pink, the splashes of brown, and the spontaneous strokes constantly overflow it. The structure is there, but it holds nothing back.

The white surrounding the composition is not a void—it is Corea's musical silence, those spaces between the notes that give breath to the phrase. I let the composition breathe, just as Corea lets silence enter the melody.

What connects me to Corea's music is this organized beauty that accepts being traversed by the unexpected, a hymn that retains its grace without ever losing its freedom.
