Salustiano

Red is the warmest of all colours. It is the colour most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males. On the other hand, red symbolises temper, agitation and excitement. I am an introverted person, full of pessimism and doubt, unwilling to engage in confrontation. Red is not my colour. It overwhelms me. It makes me uncomfortable. I squirm and writhe when faced with passion - both positive and negative. Perhaps this is why I am most happy being left alone with my thoughts. Oddly enough though, Salustiano’s work do not put me in an agitated state. I do not know why, and I cannot understand why, but there is a very serene quality to them all. It is a quality I have never associated with the colour red. Perhaps it is the subject matter - that quiet, docile nature of the gestures and poses? Whatever it is, I am beginning to look at red in a different light…
