Eb major 7 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of a specific piano chord through synesthetic color mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it transforms the Eb major 7 chord into a structured color composition based on piano studies and cycle of fifth mapping. The piece examines how harmonic relationships can be expressed through chromatic equivalents.

Gray tones dominate the composition, with silver and black creating the foundation. Red-orange areas provide substantial presence alongside blue-violet regions that establish the middle range. Orange tones appear in multiple variations, from warm earth colors to pale cream tones. Small accent colors include violet, yellow-orange, and light pink details that complete the harmonic spectrum. The colors organize into distinct zones while maintaining smooth transitions between adjacent areas.
