Hot-Blooded

Blending elements of realism and surrealism, figurative artist Anna Wypych’'s paintings are dominated by vivid reds

In Goethe's color theory, he asserted that colors hold the power to shape our perception and emotional responses to life. Taking it a step further, one could argue that our emotions and moods influence the colors we choose to envelop ourselves in.

My connection with colors has always been profound, but there's an intriguing journey that brought me to my current fascination with red. For as long as I can recall, I had a disinterest in pink. It was a color I avoided in my clothing and surroundings, even in my childhood toys. However, a peculiar thing began happening in my paintings. Magenta started to emerge as a hidden dominant color. It became the versatile choice for me, seamlessly blending with other tones and enhancing the palette. Then, a change happened I found myself strangely drawn to pink while out shopping. I allowed myself to lean into this feeling, and slowly, more and more accessories in this color appeared around me.
