F minor - Research on Harmony - Variation 5 — Acrylic on Canvas by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of F minor's harmonic structure through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece converts a piano étude into color relationships that mirror the chord's musical tensions and resolutions.

The composition divides into distinct color zones that reflect the F minor triad's voicing. Red-violet tones dominate the left portion, representing the root note F in its lower register. Red-orange hues occupy substantial areas throughout the middle and right sections, translating the fifth C and its octave doubling. A steel gray accent provides the crucial third Ab, appearing as a precise geometric element that completes the harmonic structure. The background shifts from warm coral tones in the upper region to deep purple-red in the lower section, creating spatial depth that mirrors the chord's registral spread.

The acrylic on canvas measures 60.0 × 73.0 cm and weighs within the large format classification. Created in 2024, the work carries certificate of authenticity number 20240602-0095 and bears the artist's signature on the front right. The piece translates the F minor triad F-Ab-C into its chromesthetic equivalents, with the resolved voicing spanning from F2 through Ab6, creating a visual representation of the chord's harmonic content across multiple octaves.
