Sketches, vol. 1

About

Sketches are pieces inspired by selected works of art from my father Mehmet Refik Kaya. Dr. Kaya is a professional sculptor, painter, performer and composer. When I was a kid, I grew up watching and seeing him complete these sketches and I was inspired by them to create these works of art. He describes them as fantastic-surreal style sketches created with an improvisatory style rather than planned. Although the idea of composing pieces based on his sketches were always in my mind, I have never attempted to write them until the quarantine started. I always wanted them to be special. With the encouragement of my father and my close friend Tom Clippinger, I have completed the first set and have dedicated them to Tom.
