There Is No Greater Love, acrylic paint, pigment, paint marker, varnish on canvas, 70 x 70 cm, 2026.

The title of the work is inspired by the piece "There Is No Greater Love" by Miles Davis.

My composition is based on a tension between two logics: the top is chaos, speed, spontaneity; the bottom is geometric, repetition, measure.

What makes this piece so interesting to compare with the painting is the duality that defined Davis's "first great quintet": on the one hand, a very classical harmonic structure, the theme itself, melodic and warm, and on the other, the improvisational energy of Coltrane and Davis, which stretches, fragments, almost overflows this structure. The rhythmic swing of Philly Joe Jones and Paul Chambers acts as a tenacious grid beneath the melodic flights of the soloists.

The explosion of gestures at the top, with its splashes and rapid movements in black and blue, visually conveys the breath of improvisation, the freedom of the soloist who breaks free from the theme.

The title, There Is No Greater Love, adds another dimension: it is a declaration of absolute love, almost simple in its expression, but carried here by a tormented, fragmented pictorial texture. As with Davis, the beauty does not come from the purity of the theme alone, but from the way it is traversed, disrupted, reinvented by the gesture, whether that of the painter or the trumpeter.
