5 out of 5 starsThis is my 2nd painting I've gotten from Sigourney. I purchased this for my best friend, she lost her mother almost a year ago and Kay always loved Abba. She really connected to the song Chiquitita in her grief and Sigourney did a beautiful job painting it. I gave it to her yesterday and she thought it was beautiful and thoughtful (it brought her to tears). She's working on a collage of pictures of her mom and she said she's going to put this painting at the center of it. Thank you so much for creating something so beautiful and meaningful.

5 out of 5 starsNot only were my expectations of the art itself exceeded, but Sigourney’s customer service and patience with me was incredible. She was so wonderful and thorough in her communication and I couldn’t be happier with the end result of her art. I was so excited that I went and got it framed the same day I received it. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions
I have more questions!
I have a whole page dedicated to FAQs on my website! I cover everything from how the pieces are created, whether I offer discounts (hint: I do!) and recommendations on how to frame your piece. Check out the full FAQ list at: http://synesthesia.art/faqs
What sizes do you paint?
I create pieces in a variety of sizes to suit every space and budget. Each size is double the size of the one before. A great trick to get a sense of the sizes is to start with a standard A4 piece of paper. Double it for A3 and halve it for A5!
The following sizes are available for immediate purchase in the shop. Please contact me if you would like a larger piece.
- 4×6 inches (A6)
- 6×8 inches (A5)
- 8×10 inches (A4)
- 11×16 inches (A3)
- 16×23 inches (A2)
Can I know the colours of the song before you paint it?
Absolutely, I’m happy to let you know the colours you can expect to see in your painting. Visit the FREEBIES page of my website to send me your song! http://synesthesia.art/freebies
How should I frame my artwork?
You are welcome to frame your piece in any way that suits your home and style. I recommend framing your piece with a mat so that the glass does not sit directly on the artwork.
IKEA offers a number of frames that are suitable. I recommend both the HOVSTA and RIBBA frames. These are usually available in a variety of finishes. My personal favourite is the HOVSTA frame as it gives you the option to frame with more depth or closer to the front.
Copyright
All artwork is copyright and original to Sigourney Young. Sigourney Young retains all permissions and rights to the images, including custom works. Synesthetic descriptions of each piece are the creative property of Sigourney Young and should not be replicated or reproduced.
All photos of artwork and the studio are the property of Sigourney Young unless otherwise credited.
Artworks are inspired by unique songs based on Sigourney Young’s synesthetic experience. All music that inspires these pieces are copyrights of the performer, writer, composer and/or record label. The music used to create these pieces is accessed through channels that respect the copyright of the artist.
What is your processing time?
All pieces are created and shipped within 2-6 business days. After placing your order you will be contacted within 24 hours to let you know the exact date I’ll have your piece in the post. Any changes to processing times will be noted on each product listing during peak periods.
Gifting soon? I’ve created a free printable art card that is perfect for gifting while your piece is in transit. The card includes a brief explanation of synesthesia and will let the recipient know that the piece is on its way. Once the piece is in the post I will also send through a sneak peek of your painting. The art card, printed along with the sneak peek is a popular gifting option. Download the art card here: http://synesthesia.art/art-card
How do you create the artwork?
I create my artwork based on my synesthesia experience of each song. I listen to the song dozens of times and begin with a sketch of the song. I sketch the shape and colours of the song sequentially and create a colour palette for the painting. I then prepare archive quality paper and paints and create your piece. I also write a certificate of authenticity to go along with each painting that describes my experience of the song and how each section and colour corresponds to the music. You can view the full process in the video here: http://synesthesia.art/about
What is the difference between the abstract and sequential styles
Your piece can be painted in two styles. Both capture the colours of your song beautifully and examples of each style can be found in the archive.
Sequential - The sequential style, painted in the ‘backward s’ shape allows me to show the progress of the music sequentially. The music begins on the top left and flows down through the painting allowing for greater detail and viewers to follow through my synesthesia experience as the music flows.
Abstract - The abstract style, painted in a looser, dynamic shape allows me to show the energy of the music as well as the key colours of the song. The dominant sounds of the music come through across the abstract composition and allows viewers to see a snapshot of my synesthesia experience.
Shipping + Packaging
Standard shipping is free worldwide. Please note that tracking is not included with standard shipping. To upgrade to tracked or express shipping please select your preferred option at checkout.
All pieces are lovingly packaged for the journey ahead in a cellophane bag and backing board to ensure pieces arrive safe and sound. Each piece is finished with twine to create an elegant and simple gift wrap.
