Hear my Afro Evergreen

The painting translates sound into motion; it conveys ecstatic concentration and the physicality of playing. By obscuring the face, Said invites viewers to inhabit the act of making music, to feel tempo and emotion rather than fixate on the performer’s biography.

Final appraisal
This piece is a compelling study of movement and atmosphere: large in scale, immediate in color, and generous in gesture. It succeeds as both a visual concert and a meditation on creativity, leaving a lasting impression of motion frozen in paint.
This is a show of my good time of years gone by in spite of the hard road travelled
