ARTIST STATEMENT
Red and blue are the most common colours we encounter around the world. Usually, red represents danger, while blue is associated with calmness. My personal preference is red, because it represents both vitality and warning — energy and power, courage and dominance — often increasing heart rate and demanding attention. It has the power to influence emotion. Like love and pain, both can be expressed through the same colour.
Many times, anything red attracts my attention more quickly than other colours — like the girl in the red dress or your favourite fast-food restaurant. In this collection, I use red to strike a sense of self-assurance and love.
With the colour blue, I aim to express deep, honest emotions, such as depression and peace, and its ability to shift from negative states (sadness, aloofness) to positive ones (serenity, dependability), depending on context. Blue has the power to take you from one place to another without physically moving.
