THE CAUSE & EFFECT OF COLOR 

Neopointalism was a big influence that inspired my project. I really wanted to do some sort of small pixel or little strokes of paint that creates one big image and then I found Neopointalism art! My main idea was always regarding the idea of interior design or the design of spaces, so I decided to incorporate that into my painting. My inspiration for the actual room design was a comfort space with a large window in view of a city with sky high buildings  (either Montreal or New York vibe).

Neopointalism and specific comfort colours have been a huge inspiration for my work of art. I wanted to create a domino effect so the paint strokes would create one large image. My theme was to have a comfy and cozy interior with only small paint strokes similar to pixels. I incorporated a few styles of interior design like modern and contemporary as well as added a large window view of the city. I think Neopointalism was a perfect technique as it's known that texture and fabrics can make one feel comfort and relaxing

 

When creating my painting, I wanted to make sure that the audience felt a comfortable space with warm colors that would make one feel when looking at it. Similar to painting and many other forms of art, design starts off as a blank canvas then you bring in all the colors to flow together. Color schemes are an important factor in design as all the elements and decor play a role collectively. While maintaining the theme for my painting, I used neutral comfort colors such as, browns, greys, white and black yet still added some pops of color. The meaning behind my art covers the cause and effect of colors, the emotions /how they make you feel – the psychology of colors. Many don’t realize the importance of color in design and how your mood can change instantly just due to the colors. The psychology behind it affects a person's mood, cognitive functions, creativity and productivity. Color Pyschology is based on the scientific effect of different hues of each color of the spectrum of the human brain. The serene yet simple colors allow one to evoke emotions and feel at ease. At the end or start of your day, your home or room is your safe and comfort space
