“Though languages of painting and music are not interchangeable, and each reality of art must be perceived in terms of the means generic to itself, man has always been interested in a synthesis of the arts involving music, painting, dance and drama. Studies on the relationship between music and painting can be traced back to ancient history and are closely linked to the comparison between musical keys and shades of colour.

Freed from naturalistic reproduction the artist seeks new, non-representational techniques of depiction. The various titles of the pictures act as stimuli to the artist’s imagination. Rhythm as patterns of specific time intervals are constructed as repetition of tone colours and colours in movement.  Applied to a fixed structure, colour is capable of making its presence unfold in pure sound, because it has suggestive power. The different uses of brush strokes depict temporal elements, giving them a form of visual articulation. The sense of rise and fall in the arrangement, in conjunction with the fluctuating intensity of colour evokes the emotional atmosphere referred to in the title.”
