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 visual translation of musical harmony through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The A minor triad becomes a color study where each note finds its corresponding hue through the artist's synesthetic perception. The composition investigates how harmonic relationships in music can create spatial relationships in color.
Orange tones dominate the composition, with sandybrown and peru creating the primary visual mass. Red-orange brown provides substantial presence, while yellow-green palegoldenrod appears as a bright accent. Dark accent colors include dusty mauve in violet and red-violet families, creating subtle counterpoints to the warm palette. The acrylic medium allows for clean color separation while maintaining soft transitions between adjacent areas.
The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm on paper, making it part of the medium-scale format within the collection. Certificate number 20240602-0106 authenticates the piece, with the artist's signature appearing on the front right. The compact dimensions support focused examination of the chromesthetic relationships between musical intervals and their color equivalents. Created in France in 2024, this study represents ongoing research into the intersection of auditory and visual perception.
