KARIM Piano composition, 3 min 30 sec. A work I created for one of Anna Bäckvall's paintings called HÖG (High ) - The exhibition had its opening on 19 July 2024 - runs until 30 July 2024 at the Strandverket art gallery, Marstrand.

The painting HIGH evoked complex feelings of mystery, introspection, melancholy, hope, tragedy and searching. This painting, with its elements of moving water, fog, high altitudes, orange and green meadows, as well as clouds moving like a storm moving away or in, reminds me of my constant search for meaning and peace. The painting shows a natural landscape that to me is both beautiful and mysterious. The movement of the water and the stormy clouds reflect a dynamism and power that inspired me to create a piano composition that reflects a spiritual healing process. KARIM talks about melancholy in its melody that reflects a sense of loss and longing, while the hopeful parts give a hint of light and future possibilities. A journey towards self-knowledge and understanding.
