Named after Chopin’s Étude Op.10 No.3, this piece carries both visual and musical depth. The artist, Ordered Chaos, embedded the entire score of the Chopin étude into the background of the canvas—its pages torn, layered, and sealed under gesso, transforming sound into texture.
This particular étude was his recital piece at 15, a time when music and movement became second nature. Though the painting contains the full composition, he titled it Tristesse after his favorite étude to play.
Rigid, linear glyphs—symbols of order—fracture and multiply into a vast, hypnotic landscape. The painting exists at the intersection of writing and abstraction, where each stroke feels like both a mark of intention and a fragment of chaos
