E Major
About This Artwork
This work translates the E Major triad into visual form through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The composition explores how musical harmony appears as color relationships, converting the chord tones E, G#, and B into their corresponding visual equivalents. The study examines spread voicing techniques where individual notes occupy distinct spatial positions across the composition.
Blue-violet tones dominate the surface, appearing in deep indigo forms at the base and brighter royal blue areas in the central regions. Warm wheat tones occupy substantial portions of the upper areas, creating contrast against the cooler palette. Yellow accents provide bright punctuation points, while light gray elements add subtle transitions between the major color zones. The geometric forms organize these chromesthetic translations into clear spatial relationships that mirror the harmonic structure of the original chord.
The acrylic on paper measures 12.0 × 18.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, created in France in 2025. Certificate of authenticity number 20251231-0138 accompanies the work, with the artist's signature located bottom right. The piece belongs to the Synesthetic Explorations collection, which investigates the visual translation of musical structures through color theory and geometric composition.
