D Major - Variation 4 — Acrylic on Linen Canvas by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work translates the D Major triad into visual form through harmonic-chromatic mapping, part of the Harmonic Crossing collection that converts musical harmony into color relationships. The piece explores how the fundamental chord D-F#-A appears when rendered through harmonic-chromatic perception, creating a study in harmonic color theory.

Orange tones dominate the composition, with darkgoldenrod claiming the largest presence and very dark gray providing substantial contrast. Yellow-orange ochre and lighter orange peru create intermediate passages, while burnt sienna adds depth throughout the surface. A small accent of yellow-green appears in selective areas, with a minimal yellow accent providing chromatic punctuation.

The work measures 100 × 100 cm on linen canvas, executed in acrylic with certificate number 20240718-0195. The artist's signature appears bottom right. This variation represents one exploration within the broader research into harmonic visualization, where specific musical intervals generate corresponding color relationships through documented harmonic-chromatic translation methods.
