EXPERIENCING COLOR

COLORED PENCIL & ACRYLIC PAINT 

The Experiencing Color Collection aims to illustrate how color is not just seen, it is felt. Anatomically, when the body experiences intense emotions of passion such as rage, infatuation, or euphoria, our heart rate elevates, making our temperature rise. The warm feeling we get from these emotions may explain for why we correlate these emotions with warm colors such as red, pink, orange, and yellow.

In contrast, less intense emotions make us feel the opposite. Sorrow, lonesomeness, and boredom are depicted with cool tones: blues, grays, and dark dull colors. As you look through this collection, observe the connection between the composition's colors with the emotion being depicted.
