Db Major - Variation 6 — Acrylic on Wood Panel by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the Db Major triad through chromesthetic translation, converting musical harmony into visual form. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece investigates how chord structures can be expressed through color relationships and spatial organization.

Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, appearing in substantial areas across the upper portions of the work. Bright crimson provides strong contrast, while deep red and brown tones anchor the lower sections. The acrylic medium on wood panel creates smooth color transitions, allowing the hues to blend and separate according to the underlying harmonic structure. Three accent colors appear as small but vital elements: light salmon orange, deep purple, and dusty mauve.

The work measures 30 × 42 cm and represents Variation 6 within the Research on Harmony series. Certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0219 accompanies the piece. The composition translates the Db Major triad — Db, F, Ab — into its chromesthetic equivalents, creating a visual representation of this fundamental chord structure.
