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.
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of the Db minor triad through chromesthetic mapping, where musical harmony becomes color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece investigates how chord structures can manifest as spatial compositions, transforming auditory experience into visual form.
Blue tones dominate the composition, appearing throughout the surface in steelblue and cadetblue variations. Yellow and orange hues occupy substantial areas, creating warm counterpoints through steel gray, tan, and rosybrown passages. Dark accents in violet and red-orange provide structural definition, while bright yellow-orange notes punctuate key transitions. The acrylic medium allows these colors to layer and interact, building harmonic relationships across the painted surface.
The work measures 15.0 × 21.0 × 0.3 cm on wood panel, executed in acrylic with certificate number 20241201-0275. This compact format concentrates the chromesthetic translation into an intimate study, where each color area corresponds to specific pitches within the Db minor harmonic structure. The piece represents Variation 7 within the broader research series examining musical-visual correspondences.
