Elegy for Viola
About the work
“Elegy for Viola” is a painting made for the VISUALEARS project and exhibition, which took place in 2021. It was an innovative interdisciplinary project, designed and curated by Shafagh Hadavi, which explores music perception and cognition, as well as the experience of mood immersion through the visualization of music, a sonic, gestural phenomenon, by contemporary visual artists, and a consequent immersive experience of simultaneous music-listening and art-watching by a global, virtual audience. All artworks are original and represent each artist’s unique and personal visualization of select musical works as they translate what they have heard into what can be seen.
“Elegy for Viola” is my interpretation of the composition of the same name by contemporary classical music composer Peter Cavallo.
