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 translates the A minor triad into visual form through chromesthetic mapping, where musical notes correspond to specific colors. The composition belongs to the Synesthetic Explorations collection, which investigates the relationship between sound and color through systematic color-to-pitch associations.
Red-orange tones dominate the composition, appearing in brown and firebrick hues that occupy substantial areas of the surface. Yellow-orange appears throughout in steel gray and muted gray tones, while deep black provides foundational contrast. The geometric forms arrange themselves in interlocking rectangles and curved segments, creating a structured yet fluid organization. Pale pink accents emerge in small areas, adding delicate highlights to the predominantly warm palette.
The acrylic painting measures 15.0 × 21.0 × 0.3 cm on wood panel, weighing minimal due to its compact format. Certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0265 accompanies the work. The piece demonstrates the artist's systematic approach to translating the A minor chord — consisting of the notes A, C, and E — into their corresponding chromesthetic colors of yellow-orange, red-orange, and yellow respectively.
