Red is the most provocative of colors. It’s sinister, devilish, fascist, it’s the blood in our very veins. It’s seeing red. It’s danger. Red is power. The flip side of the red coin is jolly, passionate, rose petals and best of luck. It’s mouthwatering strawberries, falling in love and happy Christmas. The color is associated with our most physical needs and our will to survive. It exudes a strong, powerful energy and it inspires within me a spectrum of narrative in its deep nature. In the Russian language, the word for red comes from the Slavic word for ‘beautiful’.
