"Wassily Kandinsky had synesthesia, specifically chromesthesia, meaning he literally saw colors when he heard sounds and heard music when he saw colors, a phenomenon that profoundly shaped his transition from law to art and fueled his pioneering abstract paintings, which he often titled like musical compositions (e.g., Improvisation, Composition) to reflect this "joined perception" where color and sound merged into a spiritual symphony. He described powerful sensory experiences, like seeing vivid colors during a Wagner concert, which convinced him to pursue art to express these internal, multisensory realities, making his work a visual representation of auditory experiences."
