about
Hey there, I'm Helena Chywski.
I am a Brazilian/American artist who experiences various types of Synaesthesia — a rare neurological condition where my senses intertwine, allowing me to experience sound visually and tactilely. For example, music, everyday sounds, and voices appear as shapes, intricate patterns, and colors in my mind's eye. It's wild! But it can get overwhelming when there are multiple sources of sounds around me.
Since 2021, I've been exploring this aspect of myself and decided to translate my synesthetic experiences into canvas and digital art. My artwork isn't just about visuals; it's about evoking a multi-sensory experience, drawing you into my synesthetic world. And my vision? Well, it's big—I want to start creating murals, collaborating with artists in the music and art industries to create immersive multimedia experiences that blur the lines between visual art and other forms of expression. Ultimately, my goal is to use art as a catalyst for connection, understanding, and positive change in the world.
