How does Matisse's focus on color relate to today?
My belief in the power of color to affect the viewer's mood and spirit remains profoundly relevant. In a world that can often feel overwhelming, the deliberate and harmonious use of color, as I pursued it, offers a path to visual well-being. My aim was to create art that was 'something calming and pacifying,' a visual respite. This pursuit of serene and uplifting visual experiences is, I believe, more needed than ever.
