LADY IN RED BY LUZ CAMINO
Red ochre, a natural pigment rich in iron, holds a special place in human history, with its use dating back as far as 300,000 years. First discovered in the Palaeolithic era, this warm, earthy hue has been a companion to mankind since the dawn of time. Since then, the color red has painted history with its vibrant strokes: a trademark hue of power, divinity, valor, and celebration.
These red vine earrings by the incredible jewelry artist Luz Camino and paintings by Jacqueline Ostermann and Alisher Kushakov, demonstrate the power of red in art. The women in the paintings, adorned in red or juxtaposed against a red backdrop, become symbols of strength, emotion, passion and energy of life itself, transcending mere visual appreciation.
