Colour is a universal language of emotion in art
Every emotion has a colour. Warm colours like reds, oranges, and yellows evoke feelings of energy, passion, and warmth. They ignite excitement and stimulate the senses, drawing our attention with their vibrant intensity. Cool colours such as blues, greens, and purples elicit calmness, serenity, and introspection. They have a soothing effect, inviting us to contemplate and reflect.
We respond emotionally to the saturation and brightness of colours. Bold colours evoke dynamism and vitality while muted tones may express melancholy or nostalgia. Our artists harness the emotional power of colour, from rich, earthy tones to vibrant, expressive palettes, colour serves as a universal language of emotion in art, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to touch our hearts and minds.
