MUSIC INSPIRES ART

April 2021

 

JERMAINE DANTE' BURSE

Music impacts our mood, lifts us up, touches our hearts, makes our feet tap to the beat of the percussion.

 

Understanding that music can produce such strong emotional responses can help artists with their creative process. Music can be very useful, guiding artistic intentions through brush marks and color choices.

I always begin my creative process with “What are my intentions?”

I begin my painting intentions with an idea, like communicating energy, or an uplifting feeling. I select music with high energy (such as Hip Hop or House) to help me move, smile, and make expressive energetic marks. The marks made during this process communicate as much to the audience(collector) as the music. When listening, consider the choice of music and how it reflects on your artistic intentions.

 

There are times when I need to concentrate while painting. My more realistic portraits require calm, thoughtful brushwork, and my go-to music is Rhythm and Blues , Jazz, or Latin guitar. These genres of music inspire my artistic flow.

 

I have recently completed a vibrant portrait of the twentieth- century's most influential jazz musician, Miles Davis. Many fans and admirers would be surprised to know that he started painting in the early 1980's when he was well into his fifties as an alternate form of artistic expression. 

 

What is ironic is I find myself listening to Miles Davis while I am painting as I look to seek artistic inspiration from his music. 

HAPPY NATIONAL SIBLINGS DAY!

My sister Tiana Burse and I are as close as any two siblings can be. Only two years apart, we relied heavily upon each other to keep each other company when we were sent to bed at night, or the weekends when our parents wouldn't allow guests over. Over the past forty one and thirty nine years that childhood bond has never disappeared. As we celebrate National Siblings Day on April 10th, I would like to highlight my sister and her wonderful accomplishments, as she is one of my biggest supporters. 

 

Tiana is a business leader and entrepreneur. She has spent years building up her businesses to become the #1 leading businesses in the market. Tiana founded Digital Media Press in 2016. This company is a creative digital agency that focuses on social media marketing. The agency has helped 40 of its clients increase their bottom line by 30% in a month. Some of the core services that they offer include e-commerce management, social media management, video consulting, campaign creations, and video production. 

 

Tiana has been her trailblazer, impacting lives all over the world, which launched her first international business. In addition, she is one of the most sought after speakers in the nation. This popularity caught the attention of the top Universities in America. Her impact is strong, and her unorthodox mindset on Entrepreneurship has caught the attention of some of the top Business Leaders in the industry. When asked about her entrepreneurship journey, Tiana points out that it has been a whirlwind. She had to dedicate her time and focus on her company when it wasn’t yielding profits for the first few years. Tiana considers this level of commitment as an accomplishment. 

 Forging a partnership with Facebook is also one of Tiana’s most significant accomplishments. This versatile entrepreneur partnered with Facebook to launch an international company. The partnership expanded her influence to the global space, which helped her acquire a few new brands. 

 

Basically my sister is a badass...

COMMISSIONING FINE ART

 

Since I began this Fine Art journey, I have had the privilege of completing some amazing commissioned projects from collectors across the United States. Commissioning a Fine Art painting from me is a very EXCITING and hands on experience where your involvement is highly encouraged. It starts with a brilliant idea from you and materializes into a piece of Fine Art that you and your loved ones can enjoy for generations to come.

 

I walk you through the process step by step via email which includes providing progress pictures as the painting materializes, reasonable alterations to the commissioned piece, Certificate of Authenticity and Bill of Sale once the Fine Art piece is complete.
