The music used to make this artwork is Silent Solitude by OxT. What’s more, the style that has been used is lyric abstraction of Vassily Kandinsky.  In order to make this abstract paint I have search the main characteristics of the artworks of Kandinsky. He uses elements that he has seen on the nature. Moreover, the most important concept is to express the feelings of the author and in this case, the emotions of the song. Also it has to be esthetical with the elements, the colours and the composition.

Following this three concepts, I made a black background representing the night. Three circles in the middle reducing their size having the blue circle on the top the purple in the centre, and the smallest, the red in the bottom. In the middle of the paper there is a purple horizontal line that its extension is to the extremes of the sheet of paper. This line represents the horizon that divides the sky and the ground where in one side we have de moon the blue circle and in the other a chain the red circle. In the middle of both sides there’s the man, the purple circle.  These three elements make a chain which means that they are connected no matter what.  In the left bottom there are two bowed lines, one longer than the other with some interconnected red lines which there’s also in the right top. That symbols means the sound which can’t be used.

The whole artwork wants to express a silent night which there’s no sound. The man has a punishment and he suffers. That’s the reason why he wants to not give up despite the fact that he is in a punishment and fight against his unfair punishment.
