“Letters to Theo” is a series of musical sketches that immerses you into the picturesque world of Vincent Van Gogh.

The music is intended to be as imaginary response of Van Gogh’s brother Teo to Vincent's letters - to the huge number of letters and paintings he received throughout his life. Here are the melodies that translate visual intensity into sound perception, musically interpreting the plots and events of the artist's life, or reflecting on broader themes - creativity, and its suffering, and delights.

“The best commentary on a work of art can only be another work of art.”

Traveling along with the musical compositions along the real route of Vincent's creative path (Borinage, Amsterdam, Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy) throughout the entire album, we become his accomplices and, like Theo, are imbued with unconditional friendly support for him.

This project is a distinctive combination of different types of art, where music, inspired by painting, is born in response to the word and becomes a universal language of sincere empathy and inspiration.
