Arnaud Quercy

Multidisciplinary Artist & Composer

“Every work of art must be able to tell a story. Thus begins my true quest, the one whose balance is found in the triptych creation of a work, reconciling the diffraction of the mind, the resonance of desire and the narration of the imaginary.”
— Arnaud Quercy

Artistic Vision

Philosophy

Quercy creates at the intersection of multiple disciplines, where composition, painting, sculpture, and digital art converge. His work explores fundamental questions about perception, meaning, and the relationship between different forms of creative expression.

His artistic philosophy centers on the triptych as fundamental structure—balancing what he calls “the diffraction of the mind, the resonance of desire and the narration of the imaginary.”

Current Practice

Active Works

Recent investigations span philosophical inquiries through Research on Tensions, synesthetic translations in Synesthetic Explorations, and mythological ceramics in Spells and Magic.

  • Multimedia performances combining live music with 360° projections
  • Abstract interpretations of place in American Voyage series
  • Collaborative projects like The One Word Challenge
  • Invented language poetry in Abstract Loops

Background

Formation

Paris College of Music diploma, Cum Laude. Eight formative periods he terms “The Age of Restlessness” shaped his artistic development, including pivotal experiences in Berlin and between Paris and London.
