Blue Miles examines the dual nature of Miles Davis-musical genius and uncompromising personality. Davis’s influence on modern jazz is unparalleled, yet his public image was often marked by volatility and defiance. This work focuses on that tension, using close attention to expression to convey emotional intensity. The monochromatic blues and violets establish a visual connection to Davis’s iconic trumpet sound-cool, restrained, and deeply expressive. Color becomes both mood and metaphor, translating sound into image.
