Eb minor
About This Artwork
This work explores the chromesthetic translation of an Eb minor chord through acrylic paint on paper. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it converts musical harmony into visual form, transforming the chord tones Bb, Eb, and F# into their corresponding color equivalents. The piece investigates how harmonic relationships in music can be expressed through color relationships in paint.
Blue-violet tones dominate the composition, appearing across substantial areas and establishing the primary harmonic foundation. Violet colors occupy significant portions of the surface, creating depth through variations from very dark purple to steel gray. Gray areas provide neutral balance, while bright yellow-green forms create sharp contrast against the cooler dominant colors. Small accent areas of yellow and red punctuate the composition, adding harmonic complexity to the overall color structure.
The work measures 16 × 21 cm and weighs minimal as acrylic on paper. Created in 2024, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20240602-0086 with the artist's signature positioned on the front right. The compact format concentrates the chromesthetic translation into an intimate study, allowing the harmonic relationships to read clearly without requiring extended viewing distance.
