This a long term ongoing project influenced by some statements from the Theory of Colours published by Goethe in 1810. On an indirect way, the work was inclined to be a psychological theory of colours and the way colour perspective is consumed by the observer.

This romantic idea of human perception behind that concept is the base of the digital interventions made on my work, where depending on the interpretation of reality reproduced on each black and white photography, I chose a different colour that may be attached to a different kind of sentiment expressed and communicated. A huge theories behind Goethe conception have been delivered and none of them has been really scientifically proved, so then my personal chose of the colour range goes from rouge to express life, vitality, amour; bleu to identify harmony, friendship and optimism; orange stands by an state of warmness, stimulation, energy and a sense of coziness; violette represents the reflection, the melancholy and mysticism of this world; vert is attached a sense of calm, stillness and connection with earth and finally jaune express a sentiment of homely, brightness and expansiveness.

The theoretical and hypothetical idea behind the sentimental perception of colour tends to influence this work as an expansion of language used to create a communication without letting the root of simplicity aside from this process and making a stronger way of visualization and impact composition that is easy to follow.
