A Minor (La mineur) – Research on Harmony – Variation 2

A Minor – Research on Harmony – Variation 2
Acrylic on Linen Canvas, 80x80cm
Arnaud Quercy Creations / AQC0689 / 2024

This painting explores the harmony of the A minor chord through the interplay of colors: yellow-orange (A), red (C), and yellow (E).
By translating musical notes into visual elements, the artist bridges sound and sight, creating a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of A 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 A minor include Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041” and Luiz Bonfá’s jazz standard “Manhã de Carnaval (Black Orpheus).”

This artwork was proudly exhibited at the prestigious Les Magnolias restaurant as part of Arnaud Quercy’s ‘Synesthetic Explorations’ collection, from September to November 2024.
