French artist exploring the intersection of music, color perception, and systematic visual translation.

About This Artwork

C Major - Research on Harmony - Variations 14 translates piano studies into visual form within the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The work maps the C Major triad through chromesthetic perception, where musical notes become specific colors. This approach transforms harmonic relationships from the cycle of fifths into spatial arrangements on paper.

Orange tones dominate the composition, with salmon and burlywood creating the primary visual mass. Dark orange and sandy brown provide substantial areas of contrast, while darker slate gray anchors the lower register. Yellow accent notes appear as peru tones, with subtle steel gray providing additional harmonic color. The acrylic medium allows these colors to layer and interact, creating smooth transitions between tonal areas.

The work measures fifteen by twenty-one centimeters on paper support, weighing approximately one hundred grams. This piece forms part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, specifically Variations 14 in the series. The artist's signature appears bottom right, with certificate of authenticity number 20251123-0085 documenting the work's provenance. Created in France during November 2025, the painting represents contemporary approaches to synesthetic translation.
