E Minor - Variations 6 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of the E minor triad through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The piece transforms musical harmony into color relationships, converting the chord tones E, G, and B into their corresponding visual equivalents. The composition investigates how harmonic structures can be expressed through geometric forms and color interactions.

Yellow-orange tones dominate the composition, with orange hues creating substantial presence throughout the surface. Warm yellow areas provide bright contrast, while yellow-green accents appear in smaller sections. The forms organize into curved and angular shapes that intersect and overlap, creating spatial depth through layered transparent areas. Dark brown elements provide structural definition, anchoring the lighter color relationships. The acrylic medium allows for both opaque coverage and translucent layering effects.

The work measures 10.5 × 15.0 cm on paper, weighing 0.1 kg. Certificate of authenticity number 20251123-0105 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located at the bottom right. This variation represents one study within the broader harmonic research series, examining how musical intervals translate into visual space. The compact format concentrates the color relationships into an intimate viewing experience.
