THE COLOR OF SOUND - VIOLET
Violet is the color of imagination and spirituality. It stimulates the imagination and inspires high ideals. ... It helps
people who are looking for the meaning of life and spiritual fulfillment. Violet is the color of light at the short
wavelength end of the visible spectrum – between blue and invisible ultraviolet. It is one of the seven colors that
Isaac Newton labeled when dividing the spectrum of visible light in 1672.
Violet and purple have a long history of association with royalty. In Chinese painting, the color violet represents
the "unity transcending the duality of “Yin and Yang" and "the ultimate harmony of the universe.” In Hinduism and
Buddhism, violet is associated with the Crown Chakra, the highest energy center of being. It is often referred to as
a thousand-petaled lotus and relates to pure consciousness.
THE COLOR OF SOUND - TURQUOISE
The color turquoise is associated with meanings of refreshing, feminine, calming, sophisticated, energy, wisdom,
serenity, wholeness, creativity, emotional balance, good luck, spiritual grounding, friendship, love, joy, tranquility,
patience, intuition, and loyalty. The meaning of the color turquoise is open communication and clarity of thought.
THE COLOR OF SOUND - TANGERINE
Tangerine is a saturated, bold orange hue that aptly describes the exterior of the delicious fruit—the same fruit
this fun hue derives its name from. ... Like most other orange hues, tangerine is associated with energy, youth, and
happiness. It reminds me of the citrus trees lining the coast of the Mediterranean Sea where I was born.
THE COLOR OF SOUND - RASPBERRY
The color raspberry represents sensual experiences that are bright and tangy, like a raspberry. In some kinds of
religious art, the raspberry is the symbol for kindness. The red juice was thought of as the blood running through
the heart, where kindness originates. The blood red hue of raspberries naturally allied them with passion, energy
and health. One of the primary colors, it is produced by the longest waves of the visible spectrum.

- MEDITERRANEAN SONATABy Arica HiltonLocated in Chicago, ILMEDITERRANEAN SONATA Narrative: When it comes to inspiration, I have to say that JMW Turner’s “Burning of the Houses of Parliament” is one of my all-time favorite paintings. When I first began preparation for this exhibition not only was I having artist block, but the California wildfires were overwhelming the news. I had just started this painting and was thinking about a more contemporary way of expression. But I needed a push. I have always subscribed to a Luministic style, emphasizing tranquility, depicting calm, reflective water and hazy skies. I decided to look up my other favorite modern-day artists, Danish/Icelandic, Olafur Eliasson. He had a show at the Tate Modern and coincidentally, it was about JMW Turner’s color process. I knew I was going in the right direction. Maktub – it is written, or the other translation was, it was destiny.... Like Turner, I wanted to shape and frame the light with a sense of infinity, but on my own terms. It is wonderful to be inspired by another artist, but it is important to create your own style. Brush and palette knife, layer upon layer, And this is how Mediterranean Sonata unfolded. ARICA HILTON BIOGRAPHY: Perhaps it was because she was born on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, an important waterway for cross-cultural trade and the birth of great civilizations, that Arica Hilton brings a passion for our earth and its inhabitants to her life as an artist and global advocate. Whether hiking the Himalayas to experience the country’s culture, or cage diving with great white sharks off Guadalupe Island, or participating in scientific expeditions to document threats to the health of our oceans, Hilton is driven to pursue first-hand encounters with people and their living environments. The seeds for Hilton’s dauntless pursuits were sown early. At six-years-old she moved to the United States, not knowing a word of English. Her sense of displacement had a lasting impact, prompting a search to uncover where she belonged in the world. Hilton determined early on that her most illuminating pathway would be the road less taken – a pursuit that continues today. Near and far, Hilton seeks the unique and uncommon. Her adventures have included 22 visits to Asia. She has swum, run and biked her way through triathlons. She has participated in global initiatives for just governance and human security. And she inspires awareness and searches for solutions to improve living conditions for humanity and our earth as a whole. Hilton’s art and global advocacy are informed by the different schools of thought and cultures that she continually encounters. Hilton’s own creative pursuits began with writing poetry and expanded to painting when she began to illustrate her poems. Her artistic evolution sparked an interest in the realm of creation as she discovered mathematics, physics, quantum mechanics and string theory. Her studies solidified her passion for environmentalism when she learned that stars are nothing more than another extension of humanity – that the elements in the bloodstream are the same elements that comprise a star. The interconnection was what Hilton had been searching for her whole life. As Hilton says “We are the same as a star. How beautiful is that?” Today, Hilton is a visual artist, poet and global advocate who travels worldwide to enrich her life and the lives of others. She is based in Chicago, where she is the director and curator of Hilton Asmus...Category
