Music Review

"Eternal Triumph" is a dynamic, cinematic instrumental composition that beautifully merges the lush elegance of classical orchestration with a contemporary, cinematic energy. From the very first note, the listener is swept into an empowering journey, where the traditional strings—violin, cello—intertwine with the rhythmic pulse of modern percussion and piano, creating a sound that is both timeless and forward-thinking.

 

Thank you.

Modigliani Novel “In the Shadow of Eternity: The Story of Modigliani & Jeanne” Now Available at Bookstores Worldwide

Hello,

 

Three months ago, I released the second book in my Modigliani novel series, titled “In the Shadow of Eternity: The Story of Modigliani & Jeanne.” Initially, it was available exclusively on Amazon due to its submission to a book contest and a Kindle publishing agreement. Now that all contracts have ended, I’m excited to announce that “In the Shadow of Eternity: The Story of Modigliani & Jeanne” is expanding its reach and is now available through major bookstores worldwide.

 

This novel is a tribute to the sublime and heartbreaking love between Amedeo Modigliani and his final lover, Jeanne Hébuterne. It follows their tender and radiant love story from their first meeting in 1917 to their tragic end in 1920.

 

Already weakened by illness and weighed down by poverty and artistic torment, Modigliani saw Jeanne not merely as a muse, but as a mirror of his soul—embodying his pain, passion, and longing. Jeanne, young and gentle, was deeply captivated by the man who rarely painted eyes in his portraits, but always painted souls.

 

This is not just a story about tragedy. It is a story about transcendence. For anyone who has ever experienced deep love or profound loss—this story is for you.

Wadiz “Moo-ji-eom” Special Exhibition: “Modigliani: The Painter Who Captured the Soul" Official Launch Announcement

Hello everyone!

 

I'm thrilled to share that my project has been selected for the “Moo-ji-eom” Special Exhibition, hosted by Wadiz, Korea’s largest crowdfunding platform. After final approval, the project is now officially open to the public.

 

The title of my project is “Modigliani: The Painter Who Captured the Soul - E-book & Audiobook + Tribute Music Album.”

 

Modigliani is an unforgettable figure.

His elongated necks, almond-shaped eyes, and—most importantly—his soulful portraits transcend the canvas and become records of the spirit. From the moment I discovered him, I was deeply moved and captivated.

I believe the story of an artist becomes most truthful when told through the artist's perspective. To me, Modigliani was not just a painter, but a man who embraced both the pain and passion of art. Through writing and music, I’ve sought to express those feelings. And now, I'm starting this project to share that story with you.

 

This is a cross-genre arts project that brings together book and music. I’ve translated my original 4-part English novel on “Modigliani”, one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, exploring his life, philosophy, and artistic world, into Korean, now presented for the first time as eBooks and Audiobooks. Alongside the books, I’ve added a 10-track original tribute music album dedicated to Modigliani and his final lover Jeanne, currently streaming over 20 global platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.

 

The eBook is based on the English version available on Amazon and other major worldwide bookstores. The audiobook is emotionally crafted in Korean with the help of AI voice technology. The tribute album features my own compositions.

 

Through this project, I hope to share Modigliani’s world with you around the globe—and walk with you through the depth and beauty of his art.

 

The project timeline is as follows:

 

Pre-launch Announcement: Oct 11 – Oct 22, 2025

Official Launch: Oct 23, 2025

Funding Period: Oct 23 – Nov 28, 2025

Reward Delivery: Dec 1 – Dec 10, 2025
