Stargazing Miles Smith Tanja Ackerman Synaesthesia Copy

Additional Information

My painting, Stargazing, is a visual manifestation of the music and emotion I experience when I listen to the song by Miles Smith. As a synaesthete, I perceive sound as colour, and through this lens, the music swirls into hues and tones that invite you into a world of gentle abstraction. The soft palette of pale pink, delicate purple, deep burgundy, and subtle grey reflects the serene, yet profound, tones of the son.

The fine line details throughout the composition add a layer of complexity, guiding the viewer’s eye through the work much like a piece of music flows through time, creating a sense of movement and depth. The abstract form emphasizes the interplay between chaos and harmony, mirroring the way sound envelops and transcends the listener, leaving a lasting impression of calm and wonder.

Stargazing is a piece that seeks to transport you into a space of quiet reflection, where sound and colour exist as one, and the boundaries between music and visual art dissolve. This painting is an invitation to explore the soothing resonance of a song, transformed into a world of colour.
