The art of color
Color is a language that everyone speaks. The meaning of color can change when combined with another color or colors.
Combining colors creates a positive feeling or positive emotion. It's about conveying that combination of colors in my art. A color harmony in your life. The better you get to know color, the more beautiful and happier your life will be.
It's time to color your world and with my love for color I can inspire you with this. When you give color love, you get love back.
The psychology of color
Newton showed that color is not a property of objects, but is created by the reflection of light. The colors we see when we look at an object depend on the light reflected from its surface. For example, objects differ in color: some wavelengths of light are absorbed and others are reflected. Our eyes only see the colors that bounce off the object, or the light that is reflected.
Sigmund Freud, often used the iceberg as a metaphor for our minds. The tip of the iceberg is the conscious, such as memories, feelings, sensations and perceptions. Just below the surface of the water is the subconscious. There are the thoughts, feelings and memories of which we are not directly aware, but which are easily accessible. Below that, deep in the water, is most of the iceberg. That piece represents the unconscious mind. There are all the persuasions, emotions, impulses, desires, memories and instinctive thoughts that we cannot reach on purpose. This part of the mind, according to Freud, determines our behavior.
Red
Properties of red are warmth, energy and excitement. The color represents physical energy in the form of endurance, strength, passion, lust, courage and survival instinct. Red generally causes a physical stimulus.
Brown
Brown is the color of earth and wood, and essentially a dark orange. With brown we feel secure and safe. It is a solid color, reliable and grounded, like a strong, deep-rooted tree. Cozy and warm, brown is a supportive color and can convey a nice atmosphere with understated sophistication. Giving the feeling of homeliness.
Gray
Pure gray is a mixture of black and white. Since it contains virtually no color, it does not attract attention. Gray is a color that withdraws and focuses all attention on the colors. The color can soothe emotional turmoil and have a calming effect and act as a buffer. Gray can serve for a safe and secure feeling.
Pink
The color that radiates nurturing, care and empathetic love. The color provides peace and tranquility and has an effect on mood and behaviour. And can lower blood pressure and heart rate. If an embrace were a color, it would be pink.

Black
Black has the potential to radiate solidity and authority, add seriousness but also ensure glamour, elegance and seriousness. Black absorbs all light and does not reflect anything. This leads to a certain mystery that provides security. Black can also serve as a basis for color and a buffer between different colors.

This color is composed of red and yellow. It thus combines two psychological basic colours. Together these two form a color that is warm, friendly, energetic and cheerful, exuding the frivolity and playfulness and reconnecting us with our inner child.
