Original Music Paintings – Hand-Painted Art for Music Lovers

Original Music Paintings That Play on Canvas

Original music paintings should do more than echo a genre—they should pulse with the rhythm, energy, and soul of sound itself. This collection delivers exactly that. Each piece is an original, hand-painted tribute to the artists, genres, and moments that shaped music history—from smooth jazz improvisation to the raw punch of hip hop and the swagger of funk.

Created by Bart Carels, these works capture what music feels like—not just what it looks like. They aren’t just portraits of performers or nods to an era. Instead, they’re visual translations of sound into color, gesture, and texture. So, if you hear rhythm in brushstrokes or feel beats in shadows, you’re in the right place.
