This dissertation aims at examining the possibility of conceiving a form of perception that would not be based on cultural and social structures and influences. It is motivated by the idea that perception, as experienced by an individual, is not born with him - it is not a skill that man brings with him when he is born -, however, it is also not a strict product of the environment where he lives, but something that keeps growing and constantly taking form, due to the crossing between essence and culture. The exercise of perception is located in the intersection of something that comes from our inner essence and something that comes from outside, something that belongs to each individual and something that refers to the external world, between an essence and the action promoted by culture, society and the experiences of daily life. The development of this theme is pursued along different paths and references: philosophical thought, biological sciences, faith and common sense, thus making it possible to examine and to discuss the validity of a non- cultural form of perception. A systematization of Wassily Kandinskys ideas is proposed as a case study. Considering that perception and representation are forms of construction of reality, the aim is to try to understand how Kandinsky looked at, and how he represented the world, and if there was a relation between his theoretical model and his form of representation.
