Ab Minor - Variations 14 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of an Ab Minor chord through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The composition presents the harmonic structure of Ab, B, and Eb as corresponding color relationships, investigating how musical intervals can be expressed through spatial and chromatic organization.

Blue-violet tones dominate the composition, occupying over half the surface through various gradations from light slate gray to deeper grayish purple. A bright yellow accent provides sharp contrast in the upper left, while light gray fills the right vertical section. Sky blue appears in the lower left quadrant, with dark brown and pale yellow elements creating additional harmonic relationships. The acrylic medium allows for clean color separation while maintaining subtle transitions between adjacent areas.

The work measures 10.5 × 15.0 cm on paper, weighing 0.1 kg. Created in France on November 23, 2025, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20251123-0071 with the artist's signature located at the bottom right. The piece forms part of the broader Synesthetic Explorations collection, which investigates the systematic translation of musical structures into visual form through established chromesthetic correspondences.
