F# Major - Variation 3 — Watercolor on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of F# Major harmony through harmonic-chromatic mapping, part of the Harmonic Crossing collection. The composition investigates how musical intervals and chord structures can manifest as color relationships and geometric forms. The piece presents the F# Major triad as a study in harmonic color theory.

Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, occupying substantial areas through varied steel gray and silver passages. Light gray areas create balance across the upper regions, while deep violet and black forms provide structural anchors. Small tan accents in red-orange and orange families appear as precise color notes, adding warmth to the predominantly cool palette.

The watercolor measures 14.8 × 21.0 cm on paper, created in 2025 as part of the artist's ongoing research into musical-visual correspondences. Certificate of authenticity number 20250125-0029 accompanies the work, with the artist's signature located at bottom right. The piece represents systematic exploration of how major chord structures translate into visual harmony through direct harmonic-chromatic perception.
