G Minor - Variations 11 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of a G minor chord through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The piece converts musical harmony into color relationships, with each tone of the chord — G, B♭, and D — rendered in its corresponding chromesthetic hue. The composition investigates how harmonic intervals can be perceived through color temperature and spatial arrangement.

Yellow-orange tones dominate the composition, occupying nearly one-fifth of the surface and establishing the primary harmonic foundation. Orange appears throughout substantial areas, creating warmth that spans multiple octave registers. Red-violet accents provide the minor third, while softer red tones fill significant portions of the upper register. The colors organize into distinct geometric sections divided by bold black lines, creating a structured arrangement that mirrors the chord's harmonic intervals.

The acrylic on paper measures 10.5 × 15.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, created in France on November 23, 2025. This work represents Variations 11 within the Synesthetic Explorations series, which maps musical structures onto visual compositions.
