Isolated within a highly detailed digital painting is a piece representing the powerful sway of art and music

At a first glance the viewer's eye is caught by this large bus which disrupts the light grey-blue sky to contrast and accent itself in the upper-central region of the spatial composition

This darker silhouette of the vintage transit bus offers a wonderful opportunity to consider the role which contrasting elements play in every piece of art

We see our main subject sporting the iconic tuxedo as his hands raise the conducting baton in climax to convey an intense and powerful peak in the scene before us. One may contemplate on the high degree of tension which this stance holds as the entire work appears possessed by the subject's commands. When a conductor holds this pose they are indicating the most energetic and impactful moment in the performance of a piece

The artistic expression of music holds an immense degree of power over its listener’s emotions. One may easily recall the difference of a slow and sad song to a fast and triumphant one in contrast

Jocelin Carmes is an artist dealing with the world of surrealism as if it's second nature. We see high themes of fantasy incorporated throughout many of her works as each one displays a masterful comfort within the pricelessly underrated medium of digital paint 

How does this work make you feel? Does this piece excite and energize you? What comes to mind when viewing this piece? Which elements in the canvas primarily drive this feeling for you?

Overall this surrealist digital painting conveys the immense power of music as our subject sports the timeless tuxedo in a stance which reads of peak performance as a vintage transit bus hovers in complete commandment by its conductor

"The conductor."
