ESTROGEN
In this painting, the horizontal formations in the background are not depictions of the sky. The yellow tones—rendered through the use of contrasting and complementary colors—symbolize a calming and reassuring sense of futurity.
The flame-like forms also in the background evoke primal instincts and innate drives. Beneath them lie slanted grey structures, representing the constraints and codified norms of social life. However, given the feminine tendency toward harmony, these forms are not harsh or mechanical but are instead aesthetically curved, embodying grace and balance.
The red, green, and blue vertical blocks—resembling buildings or skyscrapers—are not urban symbols per se, but rather metaphoric representations of vitality in nature: forests, trees, and ecosystems. These hues refer to the three primary colors in physics. Each bears the figure eight, which, when placed horizontally, becomes the symbol for infinity—signifying the unending cycle of reproduction and continuation of life.
Turning to the monumental rectangular blocks on the ground: the human mind processes external data by categorizing and schematizing it. These schemas, when emotionally charged, give rise to perception and imagery. Yet, the aesthetic inclinations of the feminine psyche soften these rigid blocks—rounding their edges—and instead of using the three physical primaries, they are painted with artistic primaries: red, yellow, and blue.
