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.

C Major
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of the C Major triad through chromesthetic mapping, where musical tones become color relationships. The piece forms part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, investigating how harmonic structures can be perceived across sensory modalities. The composition presents the chord C-E-G as a study in orange-family colors with subtle yellow-orange accents.
Orange tones dominate the composition, creating warm harmonic relationships across the paper surface. Burlywood and tan colors occupy substantial areas, establishing the primary chord structure, while darker orange variants provide depth and resonance. A steel gray accent appears as a single note, creating contrast against the warm palette. The watercolor medium allows colors to blend naturally, mimicking how musical tones merge in acoustic space.
The work measures 14.8 × 21.0 cm on paper, positioned as Variation 10 within the research series. The artist's signature appears at bottom right, with certificate of authenticity number 20250125-0012. The compact format supports focused examination of the color-to-pitch relationships, making the chromesthetic translation immediately accessible. The piece demonstrates how major chord structures can be visualized through systematic color mapping.
