An illustrative journey into the mind of an artist with synesthesia. Using music and sound as source material, a painting series showcases the strange & nuanced imagery that is the typical mental tapestry of the artist’s life.
Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of
your senses. People are born with this, while others develop it later in life. Those with synesthesia are called synesthetes.
Jan Rogers (she/they) graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in 2000, Since then she has developed a unique artistic style characterized by the use of bright, neon colors fused with metallic pigments.
Working primarily with watercolor and acrylic mediums, Jan is influenced from a personal and introspective source: their own brain, due to the phenomenon known as “synesthesia”. This sensory experience infuses their work with a vibrant and dynamic quality.
Initially, Jan’s extensive body of work focused on figurative art, capturing the human form with vivid intensity and emotion. However, their recent endeavors have ventured into the realm of abstraction, exploring new dimensions and pushing the boundaries of their creative expression.
With a career spanning over two decades, Jan continues to evolve, creating visually striking pieces that resonate with viewers and challenge conventional perceptions of art.
