Nature Blows My Mind! Genetic Mutation Gives this “Tetrachromat” Artist Superhuman Color Vision
Though tetrachromacy is found in some fish and bird species, one human example exhibiting this rare condition is San Diego-based artist Concetta Antico. According to Oddity Central, while most humans can only see around 1 million colours — using three types of cone-shaped photoreceptor cells in the eyes — tetrachromats like Antico can potentially see up to 100 million colours.
Tetrachromacy is “#7 weirdest medical story of the year”
Another great mention on IFLScience!

Interview on Live Byron
Down at my Aussie farm I got a chance to talk with Live Byron about my future relocation to art Mecca Byron Bay, Australia. It was an incentive and intimate yarn – I really like the energy of the piece.
Concetta Antico Featured In Vogue Magazine
I’m very excited to announce my feature in the December issue of Vogue Magazine. Read about the gift of Tetrachromacy, the science behind it, and how I first discovered from an early age that I had a special kind of Super-Vision.
Concetta mentioned in Artists & Illustrators October 2014 issue
Artists And Illustrators Magazine has a wonderful feature on my unique gift and how I am able to share it with the rest of the world through my art.
Concetta Talks Big Plans for the Near Future on JustLuxe

The fact that I am a master artist who has taken the gift to another level, and who, through my work can portray the gift on canvas for others to see and witness, is of world interest.
