Rotem Aharoni

Music and visual arts have been linked in Rotem Aaroni’s mind since childhood: The optimism imminent in rock and the psychedelic movement paired well with the naive understanding of the world.

“With these visual tributes to my favorite artists I try to convey the nostalgic emotions their music elicits in me”.The small details invite closer inspection. Words jump out, familiar lyrics are recalled and slowly a melody starts to play along with them. A visual experience of Nostalgia and Synesthesia. A homage to our earliest musical memories.

“I fell in love with the sixties in the nineties, listening to yellow submarine on a chunky Walkman and doodling Blue Meanies in my notebooks. That is where I try to go with my art.”
