Izzy Weissgerber

Between the Seen and the Unseen:

Synesthetic Visions of Emotion and Spirit

Izzy Weissgerber’s work channels emotion into light, transforming inner states into living color. Her paintings are not depictions but translations, intuitive responses to energies, sounds, and sensations perceived through her synesthesia.

Berlin-based artist Izzy Weissgerber creates a body of work that bridges the spiritual and the sensual, exploring dualities of emotion, perception, and being. Born in Munich to a German father and an American mother, her artistic identity is shaped by both structure and surrender the tension between control and release.

Through her synesthetic perception, Weissgerber experiences the world as an intricate dialogue of senses where sound becomes color, and emotion transforms into form. Each painting becomes a sensory map, a reflection of unseen frequencies made visible through pigment and gesture.

Over two decades, she has exhibited internationally, including at Art Basel and Art Basel Miami, captivating audiences with the luminous emotional depth of her compositions. Her practice speaks to the human impulse to connect, to feel, and to witness the invisible threads that bind inner and outer worlds.
