The spirit of spring

The third edition of the Four Hands project, featuring visual artist Isabelle Braemer

PERFORMANCES

12/26/2023

This time, the classical music concert preceded the live performance by painters Svetlana Arefiev and Isabelle Braemer.

This is a live artistic performance where two artists create an artwork simultaneously in front of the audience.

A long roll of paper is fixed to the wall, evoking the surface of a mural. The artists apply images to the paper—either in sync or in turn—transforming the act of creation into a visual performance. The audience witnesses the unfolding of the project and the interaction between the artists, who may improvise, complement each other, or develop a unified work.

The brilliant musicians Alexandra Roshchina and Alain Jacquon, performing as the duo “Duo Hands,” presented a musical program on the same theme: "The Spirit of Spring."

✨  The fusion of live painting and classical music created a truly immersive experience, where sight and sound spoke the same poetic language.

🎨  Each brushstroke responded to a musical phrase, and each note seemed to echo the movement of color on paper—an inspiring dialogue between two forms of expression.

🌸  “The Spirit of Spring” resonated not only in the music but also in the evolving imagery—floral, vibrant, and full of renewal.

👀  Audiences were not just spectators, but witnesses to a moment of shared creation—fleeting, emotional, and unforgettable.
