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 chromesthetic translation within the Synesthetic Explorations collection. Quercy translates piano studies into visual form, mapping the cycle of fifths through color relationships. The piece converts the D sus4 suspended fourth chord into its chromesthetic equivalent.
Yellow-orange tones dominate the composition, appearing as silver, peru, and sandybrown across most areas. Orange appears as indianred and rosybrown, creating substantial presence throughout the middle regions. Very dark gray provides foundational contrast, while lighter gray tones add subtle variation. The acrylic medium on paper allows smooth color transitions and even saturation distribution.
The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg on paper support. This piece belongs to the Synesthetic Explorations collection, examining relationships between musical and visual perception. The work bears certificate of authenticity number 20260305-0012 and includes the artist's signature. The five-note chord structure D2, D4, A4, A5, A6 corresponds directly to the color mapping system.
