What Color Means to Me

'Ray'

Being colorblind, I don’t just see colors differently—I remember them differently too.

Hues and shades drift through my mind like dreams, blurred, boundless, vivid. I can’t recall much, but I vividly remember how they made me feel.

And each day, I can rediscover the beauty of it all.

With 'Ray', I’ve tried to capture just a glimpse of that for you.

A One-of-a-Kind

My hand-embellished 'Ray' is a unique, large scale giclée fine art print transformed through hand-applied details, textures, and finishes. This is a one-of-a-kind artwork at the intersection of machine precision and the human touch.

What Color Means to Me.

As a colorblind artist, color occupies my thoughts perhaps more than it does for most people. And yet, if you asked me to name the exact hues in one of my pieces—or to describe the sunset over Venice Beach in fall—you’d likely get a different answer each time.

What I’ve only recently come to understand is that my condition doesn’t just alter how I see color. It shapes how I remember it. Shades drift through my mind like dreams—familiar, yet impossible to hold onto. Their edges blur, their intensity fades, but the experience just keeps getting stronger.

So when I watched the sunrise over the city this morning, it felt like seeing it for the very first time. And in a way, it was. Each day, I rediscover the beauty of the world. Even if I can’t recall exactly how it looked, I remember how it made me feel.

With Ray, I’ve tried to capture just a glimpse of that for you. I hope it brings a piece of that wonder into your own world.

Warmly, Kalle
