Description Synesthesian Art, by Terezinha Bevilaqua and Tita SelicaniThe man walked slowly through the art gallery. This being his first visit, he stopped at the painting indicated to him by his companion. The lady told him to extend his arm and touch the painting with his hands. He did and exclaimed: I can feel flowers, and high and mighty trees. I can feel the colors, of the leaves and ocean waves. This would have been nothing extraordinary, except that the man was blind!Synesthesia (also spelled synsthesia or synaesthesia, plural synesthesiae or synaesthesiae)from the Ancient Greek (syn), 'together,' and (aisthsis), 'sensation'is a neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.
