This painting explores the harmony of the C# minor chord through the interplay of colors: blue-green (C#), yellow (E), and light blue (G#). By translating musical notes into visual elements, the artist bridges sound and sight, creating a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of C# 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. Examples of famous musical pieces composed in C# minor include Frédéric Chopin’s ‘Prelude in C# minor, Op. 45 and John Coltrane’s jazz classic ‘Equinox.’
