G minor – Research on Harmony

Gmin – Research on Harmony Acrylic on canvas, 21x30cm Arnaud Quercy Creations / AQC0605 / 2024 This painting explores the harmony of the G minor chord through the interplay of colors: red-orange (G), purple (Bb), and orange (D). By translating musical notes into visual elements, the artist bridges sound and sight, creating a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of G minor. The geometric shapes and layered colors symbolize the structured yet expressive nature of musical harmony, offering a visual representation of auditory beauty. This piece is part of the synesthetic collection where the artist maps colors to the circle of fifths, merging the sensory experiences of color and music. Examples of famous musical pieces composed in G minor include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s ‘Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550’ and Joseph Kosma’s jazz standard ‘Autumn Leaves.’
