With the addition of colours, texture, layers, and lines, I want to create different aspects of a musical piece. Some parts can be seen as rests, some parts repetition, some parts have a quick tempo, and others a slower one. All these visual aspects help to generate a rhythm throughout the painting, one that can be felt and, as such, can create personalized music in the minds of the viewer.

The separate paintings placed together puts emphasis on fragmentation, which can be an important aspect in music. The different fragments are like different movements in a piece, or the division of different parts and they work with the divisions and shapes within the piece to move one’s eye through the composition. The connections and contrasts of the different panels, lines and shapes within each panel, as well as in the cityscape grid, can influence different tones to the piece creating the different rhythms and tempos. These fragments go along with the important aspect of repetition of shapes and lines to create a rhythm within the pieces.

After exploring these different aspects to make a piece, I hope that the viewer will be able make up their own rhythm with observing the different factors that make the piece have movement and structure. I also enjoyed discovering the different feelings and notions I can generate from different colours, shapes, and lines. It was an interesting experience working with music, painting, and architectural forms, one that I will continue to explore.
