Pink Mood III - 60 × 60 × 2 cm / 23.6 × 23.6 × 0.8 in
Until the mid-twentieth century, pink belonged to men. In eighteenth-century European courts, it was worn by aristocrats and royalty as a mark of wealth, confidence, and power — a lighter shade of red, itself a colour of warfare and command. Softness had nothing to do with it.
Lavender fades into violet shadow on this canvas. Hot magenta petals scatter as if dropped rather than placed by my own hand. Deep plum roses hold their own darkness inside pale, almost translucent edges. Branches move diagonally across the linen, and nothing here is symmetrical or contained.
Whatever pink has meant across three centuries, this canvas simply insists on all of it at once: assertive, layered, entirely unwilling to be one thing.
Look at it the way eighteenth-century Paris once did — not as delicate, but as bold.
