This painting explores the harmony of the D Minor chord through the interplay of colors: orange (D), red-purple (F), and yellow-orange (A).
By translating musical notes into visual elements, the artist bridges sound and sight, creating a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of D Minor. The geometric shapes and layered colors symbolize the structured yet expressive nature of musical harmony, offering a visual representation of auditory beauty.
This piece is part of the synesthetic collection where the artist maps colors to the circle of fifths, merging the sensory experiences of color and music.
Inspired by the iconic ‘So what’ Jazz standard by Miles Davis, the colors correspond to the harmony of D Minor, set in the first 16 bars of the tune (it then modulates to Eb Minor for 8 bars, for which the colors are explored in various other work in the collection, before returning to D minor).
