This article aims at investigating synesthesia in art from the perspective of researchers, in both the cognitive sciences and the universe of art. From the point of view of neuroscience, the relation between synesthesia and creativity stands out. From an artistic perspective, the use of the term synesthesia to characterize artistic works is discussed, and three categories of identification and analysis of this type of work are proposed: metaphoric, mnemonic and by simulation. Finally, the potential of technology to approach the synesthesia in art is addressed, from the analysis of three contemporary artistic proposals.
