A woman on the beach — Watercolor on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This watercolor explores geometric abstraction through overlapping forms and translucent color relationships. Part of the Untamed Creations collection, the work transforms the traditional beach scene into an arrangement of interlocking shapes that suggest architectural elements and organic forms in dialogue.

Warm orange tones fill most areas of the composition, creating a foundation for cooler blue-green and steel gray forms that appear throughout the surface. The artist uses watercolor's natural transparency to layer rectangular and circular shapes, allowing colors to blend where forms intersect. Dark red-orange accents provide structural definition, while yellow-green and ochre details create focal points within the geometric arrangement. The vertical format organizes these elements into a rhythmic composition that balances geometric precision with watercolor's fluid properties.

The work measures 21.0 × 29.5 cm on paper and carries certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0015. The artist's signature appears on the back of the work. Created in 2022, this piece demonstrates Quercy's approach to contemporary abstraction within a compact format that emphasizes color relationships over representational content.
