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 watercolor explores the intersection of sensory perception through geometric abstraction and color relationships. Part of the Mediterranean Echoes collection, the work translates sensory experiences into visual language using overlapping forms and transparent washes. The composition questions how different senses might appear if made visible through paint.
Orange tones dominate the composition, appearing in warm earth colors and burnt sienna that fill nearly half the surface. Silver and gainsboro whites create luminous areas that contrast with darker blue-gray sections. The artist builds layers through transparent watercolor washes, allowing colors to blend and separate across the paper surface. Circular forms intersect with angular geometric shapes, creating depth through overlapping transparent passages.
The work measures 21 × 30 cm on paper and weighs minimal amounts typical of watercolor paintings. Certificate number 20231231-0017 documents the piece, with the artist's signature located on the back. This piece represents contemporary abstract watercolor techniques applied to conceptual themes about sensory experience and perception.

Materials & Technique
This painting is created using artist-grade watercolor pigments on acid-free, archival paper. Watercolor's transparency creates luminous effects as light passes through the pigment layers to reflect off the white paper beneath.
The work demonstrates careful control of water and pigment to achieve both soft washes and precise details. Each piece is signed by the artist and includes a certificate of authenticity with unique registration number.
