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.
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of C octaves through chromesthetic mapping, where musical intervals become color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the painting investigates how octave doubling creates harmonic resonance through red-spectrum variations.
Red tones dominate the composition, with rosy browns and firebricks occupying substantial areas of the surface. Deep red-orange browns provide structural weight, while lighter red variants create luminous accents. Dark grays anchor the lower register, with white highlights punctuating the upper frequencies. The acrylic medium allows precise color boundaries that mirror the discrete nature of octave relationships.
The work measures 10.5 × 15.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, executed in acrylic on paper. Certificate of authenticity number 20251123-0092 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located at bottom right. Created on November 23, 2025, in France, this compact study demonstrates how musical structure translates into visual harmony through systematic color mapping.
