Bb Minor - Variations 10 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work translates the Bb minor triad into visual form through chromesthetic mapping, part of the ongoing Synesthetic Explorations collection. The composition explores how musical harmony manifests as color relationships, converting the chord tones Bb, Db, and F into their corresponding visual equivalents. The piece examines the spatial organization of harmonic intervals through geometric abstraction.

Blue tones dominate the composition, with medium turquoise filling the largest areas alongside deeper blue-violet sections. Red-violet hues appear throughout multiple zones, ranging from pale thistle to rich plum tones. A dark gray element anchors the lower portion, while cream and silver accents provide subtle contrast points. The colors organize into distinct geometric zones that intersect and overlap, creating depth through layered transparency.
