Db Minor

About This Artwork

This watercolor translates the Db Minor triad into chromesthetic color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the work maps musical harmony onto visual form through the artist's established color-to-pitch correspondence system.

Silver tones dominate the composition, with warm khaki and light gray creating substantial presence throughout the surface. Blue-gray and green areas provide harmonic support, while yellow-green forms appear in focused sections. Dark brown and peru accent colors punctuate the arrangement, creating rhythmic emphasis within the overall tonal structure.

The work measures 10.0 × 15.0 cm on paper, signed bottom right with certificate of authenticity number 20250125-0052. This compact format concentrates the harmonic relationships into an intimate viewing experience. The piece belongs to the Synesthetic Explorations collection, which examines the translation of musical structures into visual form through consistent chromesthetic mapping.
