F Major - Variations 12 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the F Major triad through chromesthetic translation, converting the chord's harmonic structure into visual color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece demonstrates how musical harmony can manifest as spatial color organization, with each tone of the triad—F, A, and C—appearing through its corresponding chromesthetic color family.

Orange tones dominate the composition, occupying nearly half the surface through vibrant orangered and warm sandybrown areas that translate the chord's bright harmonic character. Yellow-orange appears throughout substantial sections, while red-orange tones provide foundational weight through deep firebrick and near-black areas. White and pink accents create breathing space within the dense color structure, with subtle blue-violet and silver touches adding harmonic complexity at the composition's edges.

The work measures 12.0 × 18.0 cm in acrylic on paper, weighing 0.1 kg. Certificate of authenticity number 20251231-0129 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located bottom right. The compact format concentrates the chromesthetic translation into an intimate study, allowing the F Major triad's color relationships to unfold across a contained surface while maintaining the harmonic clarity of the original chord structure.
