G Minor - Variations 14 — 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, it transforms piano studies into color relationships that mirror musical harmony. The piece investigates how specific pitches correspond to visual hues, creating a direct bridge between auditory and visual perception.

Violet tones dominate the composition, ranging from deep charcoal grays to dusty mauve areas that establish the chord's minor third intervals. Steel gray and silver create substantial neutral zones, while warm orange and coral tones provide bright accents throughout the surface. The acrylic medium on paper allows for clean color separation and precise tonal relationships. Small touches of yellow and red-orange appear as accent notes, adding chromatic complexity to the predominantly violet-gray palette.

The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, executed in acrylic on paper. Created on March 4, 2026, it bears certificate of authenticity number 20260305-0009 and is signed at the bottom left. The inspiration draws from piano studies and cycle of fifth mapping, translating the G minor triad across multiple octaves into corresponding color families. This variation represents the fourteenth exploration in the harmonic research series.
