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.

A Major
About This Artwork
This watercolor translates the A Major triad into visual form through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the work transforms the fundamental chord A-C#-E into corresponding color relationships, creating a visual study of harmonic structure. The piece explores how musical intervals can be expressed through color temperature and spatial arrangement.
Yellow-orange tones dominate the composition, appearing throughout the surface in varied intensities from light cream to deeper gray. Blue-green and green accent colors provide contrast in smaller geometric areas, creating focal points that correspond to the chord's third and fifth intervals. The watercolor technique allows colors to blend at their edges while maintaining distinct geometric boundaries, with black linear elements defining the structural framework.
The work measures 14.8 × 21.0 cm on paper, signed at the bottom right. Certificate of authenticity number 20250125-0005 accompanies this piece. The composition organizes the A Major chord tones across six octaves, with the resolved voicing presenting A4, Db5, A5, and Db6 as the primary harmonic structure. The geometric forms create a vertical emphasis that mirrors the ascending pitch relationships in the musical source.
