People sometimes ask me where the name Curve Dominant comes from or what it means. It was inspired many years ago by the Kandinsky painting you see below (click on it to see a larger version), which struck me deeply the first time I saw it, as if I was seeing music graphically illustrated in a way previously unimaginable.

Dominant Curve (Courbe dominante), April 1936. Oil on canvas, 50 7/8 x 76 1/2 inches. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. 45.989. Vasily Kandinsky © 2003 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris.

Kandinsky had a certain philosophy about the arts which he felt crystallized by this painting and its meaning: That of a state of creative energy when the artist is in total control and total abandon simultaneously - where the artistic statement is an act of second nature. This is actually a familiar concept in our modern society - in sports it's known as "being in the zone."

I like this concept as a sort of mission statement for what my company would be about: A platform for artists to freely express what they do best, at the very height of their creativity.
