The series Musical Interpretation attempts to interpret the musical vibrations through color, shapes and lines. I usually listen to Baroque music when I paint, but sometimes I also listen to electronic music or traditional Chinese music, as Chinese music has an important role to play with its concept of silence and emptiness, which I try to capture in this series.   Paz Viola
 
From Silence to Sound: the Art of Musical Interpretation Hans-Georg Gadamer, father of modern hermeneutics, stated in his essay On the Problematic Character of Aesthetic Consciousness that regardless of the mode of artistic production or the theme addressed, art in any case is about determining the meaning of the experience that the artwork tries to convey. Some believe that the purpose of music is to express the dynamics of the human spirit: the flow of emotions, desires and ideas, and the accents, attenuations, futility, peace or outbursts thereof. This view presupposes alignment between music and human subjectivity.  Others believe that the meaning of music is not beyond itself but rather, within its internal logic, and its arrangements of sound forms in movement, and the capacity to create a delicate balance between the relationship of forms within the discourse that is inherent to the music. This view implies that we humans have the inborn capacity to think musically, with its own logic, which can be expressed in an abstract manner through musical notation.  Roberto Romero
