More than colors I have always loved the way they match, as well as the light they give off. Even my white-black phase was a period of light, this contrast, just like in my mother’s saltworks in Trapani, a truly blinding sort of light.

When I used red with green, and sometimes even pink with light blue, the two colors had to have the same strength and couldn’t be complementary.
This way they struggle against one other and create light.
