Dimitris Mytas - Mauve

MAUVE does not constitute any random tone of the colour palette. It represents a modern color, the first synthetic dye in history. Furthermore, psychology science labels it as “mysterious”: the lighter edges of its spectrum exude power, superiority and lavishness while its darker hues reflect introversion, thoughtfulness and self-criticism. Those dark romantic qualities identified with my emotional state of the past years, when MAUVE photographs actually have been created. The whole project is divided in five consecutive subjects, attributed as the “Elegies of the dark shades of MAUVE”.
