Most humans can see around one million colors, but what would your world be like if you saw 100 million? Concetta Antico has recently been diagnosed as a tetrachromat – a condition of possessing four independent channels for conveying color information, including ultraviolet. Antico, an accomplished contemporary artist, uses her gift in her art, giving collectors and admirers a peek inside her hyper chromatic world of intense color, shade, and movement. 

After 20 years as a successful impressionist oil painter and subsequent art instructor, this diagnosis sheds light on what has always made Antico’s color palette astonishing. Her vivid brushstrokes give ordinary vision a glimpse into the extraordinary world she sees.
