Thank you. I experience bursts of shapes and colors similar to Wassily's paintings when I hear a sudden, loud noise, or even a soft sound if I focus on it. The more present and relaxed I am, and if I close my eyes, the more I detail see. I also see patterns of shapes and colors that hover over ever person, animal, plant, and object. Very complex over life forms. Never ever the same twice. Different for every being, like a signature not only of who they are but of where they are at in their life journey. The images change constantly over each life form. Sometimes I have drawn what I see over my friends. Some have made strong associations of them. For instance, over one woman I saw a symbol of some kind and drew it. She knew it to be the symbol for Alpha. Her name is Dawn, which means the beginning, same as the word Alpha, she said. She aid this had been a very sacred symbol to her throughout her life. For another friend I saw a large drum-like instrument that resonated musical tones. This woman knew this to be a gong and later became a gong practitioner to add to her multiple healing modalities. She felt it was a message from her guides. For yet another woman I saw and drew a military symbol, a rank with many chevrons in particular. She shared that a very close relationship that she was in was with a man who had served many difficult years in the Army, had achieved that rank and was in the process of healing from military related trauma. Some people say this is a psychic gift. I really don't know. It is just what I see. They interpret it because I don't have the ability to do that. I do know that I am not neurotypical. Am in the autistic spectrum and I am a highly, highly sensitive person, almost to a debilitating degree. If I could be normal I might trade it over in a heartbeat! 🤪‼️

Hi, thanks for sharing.... Do you also see anything when you see pictures of people and other living things, or it has to be a live living organism ?

I love Kadinski ! When I first saw his images I understood Art better. And I was very ignorant about him. Yet, Thankfully I came across him . And he is very dynamic and powerful. Colors are , shapes Give thoughts.

pure genius

[@moonbeanification]

Lend your ears to music. Open your eyes to one of my paintings and stop thinking. Just ask yourself: has the work enabled you to walk about into an unknown world? If the answer is yes, what more do you want? (Kandinsky)

An interesting subject compromised by the speakers patronizing comments to the audience.

[@jamesanonymous2343]

In spite of all the praise from Academia "K" was a doodler......he was not challenged in the creation of his art. A little bit of this, & a little bit of that. Game over!

[@lnbartstudio2713]

Hello Uncle George? Is that you? Had no idea you watched youtube! Well good luck to you and try to stay out of traffic, OK?

[@Doppe1ganger]

Lol. Try a little bit of this and a little bit of that and then appreciate how shit your art will look in comparison 😆
