Arnaud Quercy is a Parisian artist working across painting, music, and sculpture. His practice is grounded in Ideamorphism — the principle that a work of art does not carry meaning, but triggers it. Each piece is engineered to diffract differently through each person who encounters it.
He creates and exhibits at Art Quam Anima, his gallery-atelier at 28 rue du Dragon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris.

C Major
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of a C Major triad through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The composition translates the fundamental chord C-E-G into its color equivalents, creating a visual piano étude where musical harmony becomes spatial color relationship. The spread voicing opens across multiple octaves, each note finding its chromesthetic expression in the painted surface.
Orange tones dominate the composition, occupying nearly half the visual space through warm burlywood and bisque areas. Light pink provides substantial presence in the upper regions, while red-orange tomato creates strong accents throughout the middle ground. A dark gray anchors the lower left, representing the bass register, with small areas of white and yellow-orange completing the harmonic spectrum. The acrylic medium allows for clean color separation while maintaining subtle transitions between adjacent hues.
The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, executed in acrylic on paper. Certificate of authenticity number 20251123-0088 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located bottom right. This variation represents one exploration within the broader Synesthetic Explorations series, where Quercy investigates the systematic translation of musical structures into visual form through his chromesthetic methodology.
