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.

F minor
About This Artwork
Quercy explores the visual translation of musical harmony through chromesthetic mapping, where specific pitches correspond to distinct colors. This work belongs to the Synesthetic Explorations collection, which investigates the relationship between auditory and visual perception. The F minor triad serves as the compositional foundation, with each chord tone rendered in its corresponding chromesthetic color.
Light gray areas dominate the upper portion of the composition, while dusty mauve forms create substantial presence in the left section. Blue-violet tones appear in concentrated blocks, providing harmonic contrast to the warmer yellow-orange and silver areas that fill significant portions of the surface. Burnt sienna and russet accents punctuate the geometric arrangement, with a deep red-orange element providing a dark anchor point. The acrylic paint creates clean edges between color zones, emphasizing the structured relationship between musical intervals and their visual counterparts.
The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm on paper and weighs minimal amounts due to its support material. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, this piece demonstrates Quercy's systematic approach to translating harmonic structures into visual form. Certificate of authenticity number 20240602-0091 accompanies the work, with the artist's signature located on the front right. The resolved voicing presents F1, F2, Ab3, and Ab6, creating a spread chord structure that extends across multiple octaves in both musical and visual space.
