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.

D Major
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of D Major harmony through chromesthetic mapping, where musical intervals become color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece transforms the D Major triad into a structured color composition that makes harmonic relationships visible.
Yellow tones dominate the composition, with tan and steel gray occupying substantial areas alongside bright orange goldenrod forms. Yellow-green appears throughout in both light and dark variations, while very dark gray anchors the lower register. The acrylic paint creates clean geometric divisions that separate each color area, allowing the harmonic structure to emerge through visual organization rather than blended transitions.
The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 × 0.3 cm on wood panel and weighs minimal due to its compact format. Certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0251 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located on the reverse. This variation represents one exploration within the broader Synesthetic Explorations series, where Quercy investigates the systematic translation of musical structures into visual form.
