Kandinsky inspires me

For my Art exam project one of my influences are Wassily Kandinsky. His work is so inspiring, I love the way he compares music to art, this is something I usually do. Whenever I watch an interesting music video an idea for a drawing or design usually sparks in my head.
Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with its many chords. The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically. (Wassily Kandinsky)
Kandinsky was also fascinated and stimulated by colour, which is widely seen in most of of his musical paintings such as Composition VII.
