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 a single piano chord through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it transforms the Bb7sus dominant seventh suspended chord into a geometric color composition that maps specific pitches to corresponding visual hues. The study investigates how harmonic relationships in piano studies and cycle of fifth mapping can create coherent visual structures.
Light blue-violet tones dominate the composition, creating the primary visual foundation. Cream and pale yellow areas provide substantial contrast, while deeper violet and mauve regions add harmonic depth. Blue-violet steelblue sections appear in the middle register, with black areas anchoring the bass notes. The acrylic paint creates clean geometric divisions between color zones, allowing each chromatic area to maintain distinct boundaries while contributing to the overall harmonic structure.
This compact acrylic painting measures 15.0 × 21.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg on paper support. The work carries certificate of authenticity number 20260305-0022 and bears the artist's signature. Created in France as part of Quercy's contemporary approach to visualizing musical harmony, it represents one study in the systematic translation of piano chord structures into geometric color relationships.
