Sonata for piano and six fingers (2023) Original Pastel Drawing by Rumen Sazdov

The pastel drawing presents a mystical figurative composition that masterfully connects a musical theme with spiritual, otherworldly symbolism. The story depicts a massive figure of an angel with large, outstretched wings. His body and arms have sharply cut, cubist shapes. The angel bends over a diagonally placed keyboard and his long, expressively extended fingers touch the keys. His face is shrouded in a dreamy light without specific features, which enhances his divine origin.
In the lower right corner, a woman sits with her back turned to the viewer, with her rich, curly blond hair flowing down her back. Her bare shoulder and the profile of her head point upwards towards the angel. She seems drawn into a trance, fascinated and completely surrendered to the heavenly music that the angel produces.
