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.

Bb minor
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of the Bb minor triad through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The composition examines how musical harmony can manifest as color relationships, translating the chord tones Bb, Db, and F into their corresponding visual equivalents.
Blue-green tones appear throughout the surface, with violet areas creating substantial presence in the composition. Red-orange sections provide grounding elements, while black anchors the lower register. The geometric forms suggest musical notation translated into abstract shapes, with linear elements connecting different color zones. The acrylic medium allows for clean color separation while maintaining subtle transitions between harmonic areas.
The work measures 10.0 × 15.0 cm on paper and weighs minimal for easy handling. Certificate of authenticity number 20240615-0146 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located at bottom right. This variation represents one exploration within the broader Synesthetic Explorations series, demonstrating how specific musical chords can generate distinct visual compositions through systematic color translation.
