Colors are far more than just visual impressions—they are a universal language that everyone understands, regardless of their culture. In art, colors serve as a means of expressing emotions, memories, and moods. Each color carries its own energy that affects the viewer, often without them consciously noticing.

A bright yellow evokes light, sunshine, and optimism. A deep blue can evoke calm, longing, or melancholy. Red, on the other hand, evokes passion, courage, and sometimes even anger. Artists purposefully harness this emotional power to create a specific atmosphere with their work.

In my own artistic practice, I rarely begin with a fixed plan. Often, it’s a color that attracts me—a certain tone that suddenly feels „right.“ From this, the first feeling, the first form, emerges. Sometimes the work changes completely over time, as a new layer of color displaces or overlays another. This process resembles an inner dialogue—between control and chance, between consciousness and intuition.

It’s interesting to note that colors are perceived differently in different cultures. While white often symbolizes purity and innocence in Western countries, in parts of Asia it stands for mourning and death. These differences fascinate me because they demonstrate how strongly culture and personal experience shape our perceptions.
