B Minor - Variations 7 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of a B minor piano chord through chromesthetic mapping, part of the ongoing Synesthetic Explorations collection. The piece transforms musical harmony into color relationships, where each note of the chord corresponds to specific hues based on the artist's synesthetic perception.

The composition organizes warm yellow and orange tones across geometric sections, with yellow-green areas providing structural contrast. Steel gray tones fill the upper regions, while burlywood appears throughout substantial areas. Dark brown sections anchor the lower portions, with bright goldenrod creating accent areas. Orange segments provide bold contrast against the predominantly warm palette. The rectangular forms intersect with curved elements, creating a balanced interplay between geometric precision and organic flow.

The work measures 15.0 × 21.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, executed in acrylic on paper. As Variation 7 within the Synesthetic Explorations series, it continues the artist's investigation into sound-color correspondences. The piece bears certificate number 20251123-0076, with the artist's signature located at bottom right. Created in France in 2025, this compact study demonstrates the systematic approach to translating musical structures into visual form.
