C Minor – Research on Harmony – Variation 6

The C minor painting captures the introspective pull of Miles Davis’s jazz classic, Solar, where Davis’s nuanced play explores complex emotions within a structured form. Imagine how the deep red, blue-violet, and red-orange hues blend, much like the way Davis’s trumpet teases out layers of tension and resolution.

The colors create visual “improvisations,” inviting us into an interplay of light and shade. What notes might resound in your mind when the blue-violet meets red? Does it echo Davis’s own journey through the melody, as if each layer of paint pulses with the spirit of jazz—a fleeting rhythm, an unresolved pause?

In this visual score, the colors dance with the same unpredictable cadence as jazz, merging structure with spontaneity. Each shade serves as a verse, calling and responding to the surrounding tones, painting a melody that transcends sound.
