C Minor - Variation 7 — Acrylic on Wood Panel by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of a C minor chord through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The piece transforms musical harmony into color relationships, converting the fundamental triad of C, Eb, and G into corresponding visual equivalents. The composition investigates how harmonic structures can be perceived through color rather than sound.

Red-violet tones dominate the composition, appearing as dusty mauve across substantial areas of the surface. Red-orange colors create the primary visual mass through burnt sienna and tomato hues, while violet accents provide harmonic support through mediumpurple tones. The acrylic medium on wood panel allows precise color placement, with geometric forms organizing the chromesthetic translation into readable visual relationships.

The work measures 21 × 30 × 0.3 cm and carries certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0246. This variation represents one exploration within the broader Synesthetic Explorations series, where musical structures become visual compositions. The piece demonstrates the artist's systematic approach to translating auditory experiences into tangible color relationships, created in France during 2024.
