Ultra Rouge - original painting

from the series: Nouvelle Vague

Ultra-Rouge portrays a red amaryllis - a flower which, in the Victorian language of flowers, symbolises love, beauty, and determination. Red is a colour of vivid contrasts and emotional extremes: passion and courage, love and hate, desire and vitality. It stimulates the senses, evokes confidence and strength.

Pink, by contrast, is a gentle variation of red - tempered by white, the colour of innocence. It represents the sweetest pulse of love and care.
