Cynthia Korzekwa on Color
April 9th, 2007[-photo essay, art, process-]
Paint is commonly used to alter things, but Cynthia’s sense of color and her freedom about what and how she paints, take it into a new and fantastic realm. Here are some of her thoughts on the transformative power of color:
Painting is about color.
A friend of mine once told me that the easiest way to transform a home’s look is with paint.
Keep everything that you have but just change its color. It’s true. I’ve painted my walls, my chairs, my sofa. I’ve even painted curtains on my windows. In the past I’ve even painted my clothes, my purses, my shoes. I feel that as long as I have a can of paint and a brush, I can transform anything I want into something I want.
Color creates a state of mind.
