Color Expression in the Pictorial Implementation of Auditory Imagery - Focused on Researcher’s Own Work

This study aims to investigate how auditory imagery can be translated into visual form through painting, focusing on the artist’s own works. Specifically, it analyzes the visual representation of sound by examining how auditory elements—such as rhythm and intensity—are expressed through the arrangement of colors and forms. The study focuses on major works produced between 2022 and 2025, exploring how auditory sensations over time are reflected in compositional and chromatic structures on the pictorial surface.<br/> As a research method, relevant theories on musical painting and visual representations of sound were reviewed through literature analysis. Additionally, the works of Paul Klee and Ryoji Ikeda were comparatively analyzed to establish a theoretical framework for the pictorial construction of auditory structures. The artist’s own works were then categorized chronologically and analyzed through both textual and image-based methods. In particular, for color analysis, pitch and intensity were set as the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively, and representative color bands from each period were positioned accordingly to visualize the chromatic flow of auditory experiences.<br/> The results demonstrate that the paintings increasingly embody auditory progression through compositional arrangement and color contrast. Color, in this context, functions as a key medium that bridges sensory domains. This study suggests that painting can expand beyond the visual domain to become a multi-sensory medium capable of representing auditory structures.
