Abmin – Research on Harmony – Variation 1

Abmin – Research on Harmony – Variation 1 Acrylic on canvas, 40x50cm Arnaud Quercy Creations / AQC0609 / 2024 This painting explores the harmony of the Ab minor chord through the interplay of colors: blue (Ab), yellow-green (Cb), and blue-purple (Eb). By translating musical notes into visual elements, the artist bridges sound and sight, creating a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of Ab 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 Ab minor include the opening of Igor Stravinsky’s “The Firebird” and Duke Ellington’s jazz standard “Such Sweet Thunder.”)
