"The sun is God." --The last words of painter
JMW Turner
; "Which side of the picture should be hung uppermost?"; "2003, London: the first time I visited Tate Britain, Tate Gallery, and the first time I saw and really experienced the paintings of JMW Turner (1775-1851). Overwhelmed, especially by his late and unfinished works, I was stunned by the power of the stillness of his work. Twenty-five years before that something similar; me, as a young man in Madrid; Prado,
Goya
paintings and etchings -- for me an initiation which opened up the door to earlier art and its pioneers. Like Goya one generation before him, Turner is one of those artists whose language was becoming radicalized in the high age. (In the field of music he is the contemporary of
Beethoven
.) His later paintings transcend light, full of poetic imagination, exquisite, liquid calm. Free pure painting -- nothing as light, air, and water. When I left the exhibition, it was clear to me that this visit was the starting point for my musical approach to his paintings. Over the years, it was a pleasant challenge to get closer and closer to the painter's complex simplicity, transforming the enigmatic atmospheres of his late and unfinished works into personal tempting musical soundscapes." --
