  • Every Synesthesia Experience begins with listening.

    As someone with chromesthesia, Nicole Rose naturally experiences music as color, movement, texture, and light. Rather than painting what is heard, each composition becomes a visual interpretation of the emotional and sensory experience evoked by the music itself.

    The process begins with a carefully selected song, album, or curated playlist. As the music unfolds, layers of color, texture, and composition emerge intuitively, with each brushstroke reflecting shifts in melody, harmony, rhythm, and emotion. Whether created live before an audience or refined in the studio, every artwork is thoughtfully crafted using professional archival materials and finished with the highest level of care to become a lasting work of fine art.

    Many Synesthesia works are accompanied by a curated Spotify playlist, allowing collectors to revisit the music that inspired the painting and experience the connection between sound and color long after the artwork is complete.

    Click Learn More to explore The Synesthesia Experience in greater detail, discover live performance opportunities and custom commissions, and learn how meaningful music can be transformed into a one-of-a-kind work of fine art.

  • Can I choose the music?

    Yes. Clients are encouraged to provide songs, albums, or playlists that are personally meaningful.

    Do I need to have synesthesia to commission a piece?

    Not at all. The artwork is created through Nicole Rose’s chromesthesia while reflecting your chosen music and story.

    Can this be performed live?

    Yes. Live Synesthesia Experiences are available for select events and venues.

    Will I receive the playlist?

    When applicable, the accompanying Spotify playlist will be shared alongside the finished artwork.
