  • Use of Color

    Traditionally, color was used as means to bring reality to paintings and art pieces.

The colors used are strong and the content is symbolic. Color is often one of the most exciting components of a painting. In both figurative and abstract painting, color can be used for its decorative beauty, to create mood, and to express or arouse an emotion.
