Myke Karlowski is a painter and visual artist whose work is rooted in the perceptual phenomenon of synesthesia—the involuntary association of sensory experiences such as color, sound, language, and time. In his practice, colors correspond to numbers, letters, words, sounds, units of time, and even personalities. These consistent associations form the basis of a coded visual language used to construct paintings that function as an abstract autobiography. Through color symbolism and systematic arrangements, his work records personal memories and sensory experiences, transforming subjective perception into structured visual compositions.
