synesthesia

Capítulo 1

     

 Synesthesia results from a cross between some senses, so the stimulation of one provokes a reaction in another. It is not a disease but a neurological difference, genetically inherited. If you have, probably someone close to the family too.

   About 54 types of synesthesia have been documented, within these groups: the perception of colors in letters, numbers and symbols. I smell sounds, see numbers in specific positions in space, perceive personalities in letters and numbers, taste in colors or melodies, sensations or tingles in parts of the body, or listen to certain songs and so on.

   In the past I used to hate and blaspheme the four winds for having this condition, especially when I could not enjoy a ballad with friends. However, as time went by, what made me a stranger turned me into someone special, I was rare, and few people could see beauty as I did.

    Unfortunately life did not smile at this part of me, while I cannot make my art heard, I am content to sell them always in the same place and at the same time. I spread the works on the wooden table and while I don't get buyers, I focus on the whistle coming from a man, who unconsciously lets it out while reading his newspaper.

    my eyes focus on the turquoise blue that blurs my vision with every note that the breath exhales. I splash several shades forming a formless yet original waterfall.

- how much does it cost?

I look up from the screen to the boy whose face is hidden by a big black hat similar to that of fishermen. He holds my favorite of the week "bleeding heart"I spent the night painting, just after hearing someone's melancholic melody. I never researched who sang them, because the artists are always empty, shells without content, puppets of the media.The chords sounded and I could see that the lyrics spoke of someone who had to leave behind the person he loved in favor of a dream. I almost smiled at that, who in their right mind has love and gives up for something as superficial as fame? dreams are just dreams, you can always change them, but true love lost is almost impossible to recover.

My vision started to blur with shades of burgundy, burgundy and carmine. It represented love in its splinters, it was not the vivid tone used, but those adulterated by pain.

-costs $ 18.65 Mr,

he put the money on the table and held the painting for a couple of time. His eyes met mine, so dark and ... intense.

- would it be a lot of freedom for me to ask where you got inspiration to compose this work?

_ Ah! sometimes I like to listen to random songs until I feel connected with one of them, while listening to it I could feel the pain of the artist, so I created the painting and gave it this name.

- Not the artist, but the song?

_should it be different?

- In no way.

    Before I could continue the interesting conversation, other people approached and soon few paintings remained. At the end of all the shopping while I kept my objects, I noticed that the boy was still there, sitting on the same bench where the old man once stood.Seeing me remove everything, he approached again.
