This review article adopts an interdisciplinary approach in analyzing Picasso’s synesthetic experiences and a transformative glaze on his artwork. It integrates and analyses the methods from different disciplines through Art Historical Analysis. It explores Picasso’s paintings in various phases and investigates possible synesthetic perception by observing patterns of colors, forms, and compositions. Neuroscientific Approaches are incorporated to explain how the sensory input of the receiver could have triggered a cross-modal effect in Picasso’s work by exploring the concepts of synesthesia. Psychological interpretation explores the psychological theory of feeling and investigates how Picasso’s feeling processes are associated with synesthetic feeling and his creative decision-making processes. This article includes a literature review that explains the purpose of positioning Picasso’s synesthetic artwork in the broader context of synesthesia and the theories of art. Due to this kind of multidisciplinary approach adopted in work, the richness of Picasso’s synesthetic imagination can be examined more profoundly, and the interactions between experience, feeling, or even mood of the artist with their art can be reconstructed in detail. In this context, synthesizing findings from the multi-disciplinary literature, this paper offers a novel insight into Picasso’s synesthetic imagination and a holistic understanding of artistic innovation.
