Synesthete, an interdisciplinary collaboration between Luc Cianfarani and Dutch abstract expressionist painter Pierre Van Dijk, explores the connection between visual art and music.

Both Luc and Pierre are creating new works that compliment each other - with chord progressions, textures, and frequencies in Luc’s music aligning with the colors and shapes in Pierre’s. The collaboration creates an experience similar to the one of a synesthete - giving the viewer a visualization of musical ideas. Synesthete was recently featured in the 2025 Sound & Motion Exhibit held in London, U.K.

Pierre Van Dijk (b. 1950) is an established contemporary Dutch painter registered with the RKD - the Netherlands’ Institute for Art History. His work has been exhibited across the United States and Europe, including showings in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and Monaco. Pierre has taught at Lock Haven University, and he currently lives and paints in his hometown of ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
