G Major - Variation 6 — Watercolor on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This watercolor explores the visual translation of G major harmony through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the work converts the G major triad into its corresponding color relationships, creating a visual chord that maintains harmonic structure through chromatic equivalents.

Yellow-green tones fill nearly half the composition, appearing as soft washes and geometric forms that establish the harmonic foundation. Silver and steel gray areas occupy substantial portions of the surface, providing tonal variation within the yellow spectrum. Orange and yellow-orange accents create warmth in concentrated areas, while a deep red-orange mark functions as the root note, appearing as a small but essential accent point. Black linear elements define geometric boundaries and create structural divisions across the composition.

The watercolor measures 14.8 × 21.0 cm on paper, signed at bottom right with certificate of authenticity number 20250125-0035. This variation demonstrates how musical intervals can be preserved through color relationships, with the spread voicing of the G major chord creating spatial arrangements that mirror harmonic distances. The work maintains the essential character of the original chord while translating temporal musical experience into static visual form.
