A Minor - Variations 12 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the A minor triad through chromesthetic translation, where musical harmony becomes visible color. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece translates the chord tones A, C, and E into their corresponding visual equivalents, creating a direct bridge between auditory and visual perception.

Orange tones dominate the composition, appearing across nearly half the surface through warm darksalmon and lighter burlywood areas. Red-orange sections provide substantial presence, particularly in the bold tomato forms that anchor the geometric structure. Pink and wheat tones occupy significant portions, while bright yellow accents and white highlights complete the harmonic palette. A small dark area grounds the composition with deep red-brown contrast.

The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, executed in acrylic on paper. Certificate of authenticity number 20251123-0067 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located at bottom right. Created in November 2025, this variation demonstrates the systematic approach to translating specific musical structures into visual form through established chromesthetic correspondences.
