  • I am fascinated by the light of color being changed and being alive and true. Each object contains eight primary colors which change with different angle from which they are viewd – thus changing the context of their own and of the spectator.

    From the cycle of working with texts about color - Complete space in a colorful context | 2018

Based on the context of colors around us we define the space. The space has a direct relationship to time. If the context changes between colors, so despite the fact that the space remains the same, time will be different. The series was based on Ludwig Wittgenstein's text, Notes on Colors. Witgenstein also discusses the relationship between colors in this text. I wanted to express the relativity of these relationships, but also their strictness and complexity, which Wittgenstein caught in the text about Goeth's considerations . --------------------------------------------------------------------- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Goethe proesented a circular diagram in which the three primary colours of red, blue and yellow alternate with the three secondary colours of orange, violet and green. Red occupies the uppermost place in the circle, and green the lowermost. The semi-circle from green, through yellow to red is known as the plus side; its opposite is the minus-side (Original drawing of Goethe). Goethe sought to surpass Newton’s system. With his insight into the sensual-moral effect of colours, Goethe comes nearer to his initial objective: namely, to bring order to the more chaotic, aesthetic aspects of colour. He places colouration within the separate categories of «powerful», «gentle» and «radiant» and, accordingly, sets down his concept https://www.colorsystem.com/?page_id=766&lang=en
