By paintings from series ''The Color of Music'', Sergey Kovalsky presents his concept of the relationship between sound and image, and also pays tribute to the iconic musicians and composers of the 20th - early 21st centuries.
The artist considers sound to be one of the basic elements of human perception, music for him is a way of liberation from the power of society and a means of breaking through into the transcendental space. Kovalsky's creative method is not a direct translation of sound into color, but holistic synesthesia, which leads to the appearance of a kind of visual chord and allows you to catch an intuitive association from music and translate it into a specific visual form. The semantic layering of the series is based on a combination of surrealism techniques, figuratively associative non-linear clip editing, three-dimensional effect, which refers to more complex intellectual layers.
