Inner Colour
This collection of portraits captures the colors I perceive in everyday life through my synesthesia. Each painting reflects the unique energy of individuals, inspired by the concept that we were once cosmic dust, scattered throughout the universe and carrying the essence of stars.
I am stronger than fear
This diptych reflects a personal journey from being overwhelmed by fear to embracing it with confidence. Through visual metaphors, the work explores how fear can be acknowledged and accepted, ultimately leading to inner resilience and a renewed sense of freedom.
In the Light of Synesthesia
This light artwork reveals how I perceive the world as a synesthete, seeing people through a spectrum of colors. Made from iridescent plexiglass, it explores how light and reflection can capture the individuality and glowing color surrounding each person.
ABOUTme
Katariina Kirsanova.
Born 2001, Finland.
My work is based on synesthesia — the blending of senses, where colors, shapes, and textures merge with music, emotions, and people. My pieces are visual interpretations of my inner experiences, where colors and light take on almost a living form.
I use a variety of materials and techniques, including painting, installations, and light art. I explore how sensory experiences can be transformed into a visible world and how what I feel internally can be shared with others. My art invites the viewer to step into the world of synesthesia for a moment, a space where sound transforms into color and people radiate their own unique glow.
