D Major
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of musical harmony through chromesthetic mapping, transforming the D Major triad into a geometric color composition. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it investigates how specific musical intervals can generate corresponding visual relationships through systematic color translation.
Yellow-orange tones dominate the composition, appearing in warm silver and sandybrown areas that occupy substantial portions of the surface. Black anchors the left side with strong vertical presence, while yellow-green areas provide structural balance through geometric forms. Dark violet appears in angular shapes, creating tonal depth against the warmer palette. A small accent of dark brown adds harmonic complexity to the overall arrangement.
The acrylic painting measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm on paper, creating an intimate format for detailed color study. The work translates the D Major chord through chromesthetic correspondence, where the root D, third F#, and fifth A appear as specific color relationships across the geometric composition. Certificate of authenticity number 20240615-0150 documents the work, with the artist's signature located at bottom right.
