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
Terraces of Ronda - Ancient Path explores how geometric abstraction can construct an Andalusian imaginary rather than represent it directly. As part of the Mediterranean Echoes collection, this watercolor uses abstract geometry as a departure point to build a visual language that evokes the layered terraces and winding paths of Ronda, Spain. The work transforms architectural and topographical elements into pure form and color relationships.
Steel gray tones dominate the composition, creating the primary structural foundation across the paper surface. Sea green areas provide substantial presence throughout the work, while silver passages offer bright contrast points. Violet sections appear in concentrated areas, adding depth through darker purple and dusty mauve variations. Yellow-green zones connect the major color families, with small accent notes of dark brown and black providing precise definition points. The watercolor technique allows colors to blend naturally while maintaining distinct geometric boundaries.
The work measures fifteen by twenty-one centimeters on paper, creating a compact vertical format. Created in France during January 2024, the piece carries certificate of authenticity number 20241205-0300. The work belongs to Quercy's contemporary style within the Mediterranean Echoes collection, where geometric abstraction serves as a method for constructing cultural and geographical imaginaries through pure visual elements.
