This painting explores the harmony of the C minor chord through the interplay of colors: red (C), blue violet (Eb), and red-orange (G).
By translating musical notes into visual elements, the artist bridges sound and sight, creating a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of C 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 C minor include Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67” and Miles Davis’s jazz classic “Solar”.

I would however propose my own composition and rendition of Prelude in C Minor.

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.
