I studied Kandinsky in GCSE art back in school. We had to pick three artists to focus on and Kandinsky was one of the artists I picked.
To see in colour like that... I find it fascinating to think about. My mind works quite differently. Interesting how much the human brain can vary.
It's hard to describe because I don't "see" it like a visual and obviously it's not "real", but it's there anyway?
I can point at the exact colour match for a letter or number, for example, but I still don't think I "see" them?
I know them?
Does that make sense?
At the same time I have the emotional experience of falling through rainbows and I know the colours are there.
I could do those paintings even though I don't have a visual projected inside my forehead.
It's so hard to explain.
Admittedly, no. That's alright though, some things don't translate well. I lack the frame of reference and experience to fully understand.
When I close my eyes, it's grey. Various shades of grey depending on how light or dark the lighting of the area I'm stood. I don't get any visual snow.
The way I pick colours is pretty mundane. I decide on a base colour, a complementary colour and then some shade of black and / or white. When I painted my room, I flipped through a book, thought 'Huh, that's a nice shade of teal' then I found a silver which I thought looked nice next to the teal.
I think what I'm trying to say is it's in my "mind's eye" rather than a literal vision, but I don't know what "mind's eye" means to other people so I get tumbled in the words.
Your teal and silver room sounds really pretty. That reminds me of my dad who loved dark teal with silver. I wish it could be so easy. Part of me wants to just find wallpaper that I like and go for it so I don't have to worry about undertone and the way it will reflect light. Too bad everyone hates wallpapering and I'm too stroked-out to do it myself.
