Prelude in E Flat Minor

152.40 cm x 101.6 cm

Digitally printed onto ChromaLuxe aluminium, Prelude in E Flat Minor is a visual interpretation of J.S. Bach’s deeply expressive keyboard prelude, translated note by note into colour.

In this work, the musical score becomes the drawing. Each colour corresponds precisely to a specific piano note, creating a chromatic language that mirrors the structure of the sheet music itself. 

Prelude in E Flat Minor is one of Bach’s more introspective works, marked by quiet intensity and emotional gravity. What you see is not an abstract response, but a direct translation of sound into colour, and a drawing shaped by rhythm, pitch, and musical logic.

Produced as a digital drawing and printed using dye sublimation onto ChromaLuxe metal, the artwork has a contemporary high gloss finish that gives the colours exceptional depth, clarity, and luminosity. The metal surface is highly durable and easy to care for, requiring only a lint-free cloth and standard cleaning products.

This work invites the viewer to experience music in a new way, not only by listening, but through seeing how sound can exist as colour, structure, and form.
