F# Octaves - Reflexions 37 — Watercolor on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This watercolor translates the note F# in octaves into visual form through chromesthetic mapping based on the circle of fifths, converting musical intervals into corresponding color relationships. Working on ten by fifteen centimeter paper, the piece organizes geometric shapes and layered colors to create a harmonious composition that bridges sound and sight.

Yellow tones appear most prominently throughout the surface, with white areas creating substantial presence in the upper regions. Green passages occupy significant portions, while blue-green sections provide structural elements. A single red-orange accent appears as a small but perceptually significant detail. The watercolor medium produces smooth color transitions where transparency allows hues to interact and blend naturally.

The compact scale requires close viewing to perceive how F# octaves manifest through varying shades of green that capture the depth and richness of this musical interval. As part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection—which translates music into visual form through systematic color mapping—this piece shows how octave relationships create unity and completeness in both auditory and visual experience.
