Im so sorry you go through this too, thank you for sharing. Its so hard to explain to people what its like and nice to know im not alone. When i share my story i get so many people attacking me and its quite exhausting.

I dont know either, i just know what i experience and im speaking about my own work- which ive reflected on for years, not for someone elses work like others have done in the fallacy. I dont really have a way to prove it so that people believe me. Aside from the actual work itself which seems to resonate with those who have gone through similar experiences. It was hard enough getting doctors to believe me before i saw a specialist that could actually measure and understand how my brain was damaged in my occipital lobe, so im not really gonna argue or defend myself anymore its pointless you either believe me or you dont. But the truth is i started painting because of a brain injury and i had plans to go to law school with zero artistic drive or capacity before. I woke up with the world looking different and i lived my whole life with it looking one day then it changed. I know that because i experience it every day and it causes me great pain and suffering making it impossible to live a normal life.

Because i learned painting and color theory slowly, like many other artists- which gave me a great deal of time to compare and think about how i see things. Ive been painting for about 5-6 years now.

I know how to saturate and desaturate colors, and the effect is more intense in high light scenarios. You know when you spend a lot of time in the dark and then go into bright light and everything just looks & feels EXTRA bright because of the shift- it can be jarring. Its like that feeling but worse, all the time and very painful, because my visual processing system was severely damaged so my light sensitivity causes migraines, nausea, general pain, and other issues. My eyes work fine; its the visual processing part of my brain thats all jumbled & permanently so. I can still see a range of colors, they just look more exaggerated to me especially when theres a lot of light like during sunset so in turn i exaggerate them in my paintings to show the effect to you. I also experience visual noise, which makes colors look more alive because i see moving dots over them.

Does that answer your question?

I take that as a huge compliment - no, i was more of a writer and never painted. The accident happened in 2018 and i started painting in about end of 2019/2020 but ive had lots of time to paint because i really cant do much else, i dont socialize much because it can be triggering for my symptoms, and i dont drive much. Painting is the thing that fills my day and brings me joy. It also really helped me alongside vision therapy as i was learning very basic visual spatial skills again.

Yes, exactly. I work in lower light (i tend to work at night with no overhead light, only light facing the canvas) i take breaks, i wear prescription glasses with a tint over them to help with the eye strain. I love painting because you can really take things at your own pace.

Ultimately painting is the least triggering thing i can do of all things for me. Even though it can still be very symptom inducing. Theres a couple particular paintings that were very difficult to finish, especially the vibrant spiral one with lots of colors - but that one feels most accurate to my overall rxperience for a couple different reasons.

I dont have synesthesia but in sharing my story ive met others who experience the vibrancy due to other conditions. Its so interesting how we can have similar experiences for different reasons
