Lior

I was introduced to Lior’s music via the Hush Music Foundation. Lior has been one of the contributing artists to their CD, ‘A Piece of Quiet’. It was suggested to me when I was working on a picture book for them that he would be wonderful to paint. The work that the Hush Music Foundation does for children undergoing cancer treatment is extraordinary, so I was interested to meet with a musician who is such an amazing supporter of this cause. I immediately became a fan. His music crosses genres, but with a single thread underlying it all – it has heart. Within ourselves, there is always more than one voice. It’s similar to the devil and the angel sitting on each shoulder, but without the religious overtones, or ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ aspect. It’s just a conversation we all have. The two faces are the two voices in this painting, and in the reflection there is the subconscious that underlies the surface duality that we have when we converse with ourselves.
