A Painting You Feel More Than See
Just like sound can vibrate through space and memory, this painting hums with energy. The term “resonance” refers to how sound lingers physically, emotionally, even spiritually. When something resonates, it isn’t just heard, it’s felt deeply in your body. We all experience emotion in complex ways, not just happy or sad, but somewhere in between: wistful, glowing, shaken, or calm. These are what we might call modal states, subtle, shifting moods that defy simple labels.
Modal Resonance gives form to those inner tones, it’s a portrait of the soul in a particular moment. It’s not about understanding the theory behind the title. It’s about standing in front of the work and feeling the echo of something you can’t quite name, but recognize instantly.
The vertical drips of red, gold, and black are like sonic streaks, the visual language of music. They don’t sit still. They rise, fall, blend, and bleed into one another like notes in a jazz solo. The texture adds depth, like the echo of sound reverberating in a quiet room, full of space, memory, and emotional weight. This is a painting that vibrates, not literally, but emotionally. It hums, carries a kind of energy that stays with you, like a chord you can’t forget.
In that spirit, Modal Resonance is more than a visual composition, it is an emotional language, or a kind of frequency rooted in jazz, where each scale carries its own unique emotional color, stroke and layer. Each color is a tone in a mood we don’t often get to name: mysterious, unresolved, contemplative. As a whole, it invites you to linger, to feel.
