Emotional Color Wheel
SOLD
Colored Pencil on Black Paper
2019
In his work, Ruxa seeks a parallel between the visible and the invisible. How does one represent emotions, which are by nature, invisible, in a painting? As a painter, he uses colours to represent feelings. He seeks this correspondence, not only with colours but also shapes, textures, etc. even if it is through more intuitive research rather than scientific. There have been multiple attempts to categorize emotions in a methodical format like that of a color wheel and for this work, Ruxa drew particular inspiration from Robert Plutchiks’s Wheel of Emotions.

About the artist
"When I was a young boy I often had this feeling that reality was a fiction, like a permanent cinema screen with pictures scrolling, and that I was not able to take part in it. I felt like a passive spectator of my own life. Art has allowed me to take part in reality, to take a position, and to choose a point of view. The canvas is my cinema screen."
Pedro Ruxa
Born in 1993 in Lisbon, Portugal, Pedro Ruxa lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
