Title: Listening to Charlie Parker
Artist: Nick Proykov
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 20” x 16”

A vivid, emotionally charged abstraction where three intertwined figures seem to move in rhythm, the brushwork loose, fluid, and musical. Purples, blues, and muted pinks dominate the composition, with flashes of yellow and red adding syncopation — the whole piece feeling like a visual improvisation. Proykov’s signature in the lower right corner anchors the work while the forms dissolve and re-form, echoing the spontaneity and intensity of Charlie Parker’s sound.
