Michael Rogatchi’s series From Bach to Baker continues the artist’s direction on depicting music via his own imagination and original images and compositions. In this series, the artist makes his own journey in a company of his beloved and important for him, composers and musicians. His choice is individual, and his attitude towards his favourite composers and musicians are highly personal. The works have been created in a signature for the artist’s mixed technique and on very special hand-made Italian cotton paper with a distinct structure.
