Vega’s work is based on an exploration of music and sound. Her profound interest in chromesthesia (the unique brain condition in which one can involuntarily experience color in relation to sound) has led the artist to investigate this connection. Playing the piano from a young age exposed Vega to the idea of how sound could manifest itself in our environment in ways that don’t necessarily exist as just an auditory experience, just like one can observe the mathematical patterns of a musical composition through the orientation of rows of petals in a flower. Vega experiments with how sound and vision work together, merging music and science through concepts such as Lissajous figures, Chladni figures, and the Circle of Fifths–all are tools the artist uses to convey the visual perception of music through geometry and form. Using these unconventional methods Vega creates multimedia works that combine abstraction and figuration with reference to the manipulation of light. She also implements her research of the mathematical correlation between audio frequency and color into her work. When creating a portrait, Vega incorporates elements of science and music to visualize the subject’s favorite song, the portrait can reveal their “true colors.” Similar to how certain notes in a song are harmonious and blend together, when these notes are transcribed into color Vega can see how visually harmonious they are, creating a color palette she has no control over.
