Materia 

Soledad Sevilla’s painting presents a captivating dance of colours evoking fundamental aspects of life and emotional states. The warm hues of red and yellow are traditionally associated with vitality, energy, and passion, while the cool blues and greens suggest tranquility, growth, and harmony. These colours, when brought together, reflect a universal concept of balance between opposing forces. Throughout art history, we observe the symbolic use of colour as a reflection of nature, emotion, and spirituality. The symbolic separation of colours within this piece echoes the ancient principle of dualism, reminiscent of the yin and yang. This concept emphasizes the interplay and interdependence of opposing elements. Such symbolism is deeply ingrained in our collective consciousness. "Materia" becomes more than just pigment; it's an invitation to explore our primal connection to colour and its emotional resonance, tapping into a collective memory. The cyclical nature of art allows us to observe how these basic visual elements continue to resurface, evolving in dialogue with different historical contexts.
