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 channeling these synesthetic experiences into both canvas and digital art. Every time I paint, I'm on a quest to find the perfect medium that matches the sound. If a voice feels or even smells woody, chances are you'll see it on wood. If a song carries a rough, tactile texture, I'll weave in elements that let you feel that texture too. It's all about capturing the full, multi-sensory essence of what I hear.

Lately, I've also been expanding my creative toolkit with 3D printing, projection mapping, and sculpting—adding fresh dimensions to my work. 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.
