Arnaud Quercy is a Parisian artist working across painting, music, and sculpture. His practice is grounded in Ideamorphism — the principle that a work of art does not carry meaning, but triggers it. Each piece is engineered to diffract differently through each person who encounters it.
He creates and exhibits at Art Quam Anima, his gallery-atelier at 28 rue du Dragon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris.
About This Artwork
This work explores the relationship between classical mythology and contemporary abstraction through warm Mediterranean tones. Part of the Mediterranean Echoes collection, the painting translates the ancient lament of Cybele into a visual language of interlocking forms and earthy colors. The composition addresses how mythological narratives can find new expression through geometric abstraction.
Warm orange and tan tones dominate the composition, creating substantial areas of color that anchor the geometric forms. Burnt sienna and dark brown elements provide structural definition, while wheat and rosy brown tones appear throughout the surface. A small blue accent creates contrast within the predominantly warm palette. The oil technique allows colors to blend and layer, building depth through overlapping geometric shapes that suggest architectural fragments.
The work measures 21 × 29 cm and weighs minimal amounts as an oil on paper piece. Created in 2023 as part of the Mediterranean Echoes collection, it carries certificate number 20231231-0053 with the artist's signature on the back. The compact format supports intimate viewing while maintaining the bold geometric relationships that define the series.
