Abstract Portraiture Series Based On Synesthesia By Hannah Ilham

I am a synesthete and I see people like swirling colors of poetry. Colors are adjacent to adjectives in my mind and it is often possible to associate a color to a person with an initial facial observation. However, once more details are absorbed, different shades and tones of color are interpreted. For me, people are like paintings.

The art series “Canvas of Esoteric” seeks to illustrate abstract portraitures with a synesthetic perspective in mind and intends to visualize portraitures of famous artists and vibrant personalities.
