With each piece of art that Serj creates, he also composes an accompanying piece of music that is as integral to his artistic expression as the paint on the canvas.
The embedded music along with additional content is unlocked and accessed via Arloopa, a free mobile application for IOS and Android devices that he envisioned and helped develop.

Serj’s journey into the world of fine art began with his Disarming Time Musical Paintings in 2013.

He creates a uniquely audible and visual experience with each of his artworks. Each piece is accompanied by a musical score that has been composed by Serj that is as integral to his artistic expression as the paint on the canvas.

In his own words, he claims, “The urge came to me in the discovery that music has become so temporal and devalued in the world today, so I wanted to create an exclusive experience…something unique for someone to hold so they become the only person to experience this. I’m aiming to have people SEE the music and HEAR the art. Using a modern app, we’re able to take Kandinsky’s Synesthesia to a whole new level.”

“My music always has been nonconformist and challenging – and revolting at times. I paint the same way. I don’t look at what people do, I don’t paint within the parameters. I do what my intuition tells me to do. When I’m painting, I am free as an artist. My hands go where they’re supposed to go, I don’t know what I’m doing. But I never knew what I was doing as a musician either, I just created and was confident in the fact that it is coming from a good place.

“I’m still in the phase where I’m surprised by the output. I am lost in this exploratory, beautiful, colorful world and I am grateful.” -Serj Tankian
