Symphony of Pop

About the Artwork

In Symphony of Pop, Simone De Rosa transforms a traditional violin into a vibrant intersection of fine art, pop culture, and musical heritage. The genuine string instrument, boldly repurposed as canvas, becomes an emblem of the artist's daring creativity. Layered against a striking backdrop of black-and-white polka dots, checkers, and dynamic stripes, the violin itself is adorned with vivid pop art portraits—evocative of Roy Lichtenstein’s graphic intensity and the bold femininity of comic heroines.

De Rosa’s work fuses movement and emotion, capturing both the elegance of classical music and the rebellious energy of modern art. The graphic precision of the background contrasts with the lively, colorful figures on the violin’s body, inviting viewers into a playful yet powerful dialogue between structure and spontaneity, tradition and innovation.

Through this artwork, De Rosa not only redefines the boundaries of musical instruments but also celebrates the timeless intersection of art, fashion, and sound.
