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.

F# minor
About This Artwork
This work explores the chromesthetic translation of an F# minor triad, converting musical harmony into visual color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece demonstrates how specific musical intervals create corresponding color interactions through the artist's synesthetic perception. The composition investigates the visual equivalent of a spread piano voicing, where individual chord tones occupy distinct spatial positions.
Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, appearing as steel gray, darkseagreen, and dimgray across multiple geometric sections. These colors represent the F# root note in different octaves and voicings. A warm yellow accent appears in the upper right quadrant, translating the A natural third of the minor triad. Black geometric elements anchor the lower register, providing the foundational bass note. A violet semicircle introduces harmonic complexity, while warm yellow-orange tones in the background create subtle harmonic resonance.
The watercolor measures 14.8 × 21.0 cm on paper, executed in 2025. Certificate of authenticity number 20250125-0032 accompanies the work, with the artist's signature located bottom right. The piece demonstrates the artist's systematic approach to translating specific musical structures into precise color relationships, creating a visual score that maintains the harmonic logic of the original musical material.
