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
This work translates the F minor triad into visual form through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The composition explores how harmonic relationships manifest as color relationships when musical structure becomes visual language. The F minor chord appears here as a spread voicing across multiple octaves, with each tone finding its corresponding color family through systematic translation.
Silver tones dominate the composition, establishing the foundational presence that corresponds to the highest register. Deep blue-violet forms create substantial areas in the lower portion, representing the bass and middle registers of the harmonic structure. Light gray provides bright contrast in the upper areas, while darker blue-violet tones appear in smaller sections. Orange and red accents punctuate the arrangement, with a subtle red-orange accent creating additional harmonic color. The acrylic medium allows for clean color separation while maintaining the geometric precision needed for this systematic approach.
The work measures 21 × 30 cm on paper and weighs negligible amounts, making it part of the medium-scale studies in this series. Certificate of authenticity number 20240602-0090 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located on the front right. The Synesthetic Explorations collection investigates the systematic translation of musical structures into visual equivalents, using consistent chromesthetic principles to maintain the integrity of harmonic relationships across sensory modalities. This particular study demonstrates how minor chord qualities can be preserved when translated from auditory to visual perception.
