Jerad Armijo also known as, Away I Flew, utilizes synesthesia, minimalism, poetry and surrealism in his work.
Synesthesia has been a key role in the creation of his photographs. When music plays colors and shapes appear in his head. He then uses these peculiar colors and forms that he “sees” and adds them back into his photography, naturally and artificially though his editing process.
Jerad has won many awards, included in multiple publications, and was featured as Nikon top 100 up and coming photographers.

Away I Flew, Visual Poetry of Being Human | View on OpenSea
My photographs are visions of my endless thoughts, and my struggles of being human with a sprinkle of synesthesia for color.
For 15 years I’ve honed in on my artistic eye, to create my current aesthetic. I learned to utilize my synesthesia in my photography. Listening to music makes me see colors. I bring that color back into my photography.
As I’ve evolved as a human, so too has my artistic expression. Traversing through life, I have noticed that it is becoming increasingly more difficult to be human.
What is it to age? What is it to die? What is it to be happy? What is balance? What happened to my inner child? What is mental stability?
Being human is difficult. It is through hardships that I feel we, as humans, are able to connect. Through my portfolio, I hope to express life’s difficulties, in an elegant way that will help to bring us together.
Be Human. Be Kind.
Portland, Oregon, United States
