G Minor - Variations 15 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work translates a piano étude into visual form within the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The G Minor triad appears as a spread voicing across five octaves, using chromesthetic mapping to convert musical pitches into their corresponding colors. The cycle of fifths provides the structural foundation for this sound-to-color translation.

Silver tones dominate the upper portion of the composition, while violet areas create substantial presence in the darker regions. Red-orange colors appear throughout the middle sections, with dusty mauve tones providing transitional elements. The acrylic medium on paper allows for clean color separation while maintaining subtle edge transitions between the different harmonic zones.

This acrylic painting measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, part of the Research on Harmony series as Variation 15. The work carries certificate of authenticity number 20260305-0010 and features the artist's signature in the bottom right corner. The inspiration draws from piano studies and cycle of fifth mapping, creating a direct visual representation of the G Minor chord structure across multiple octaves.
