“Not Perylene Maroon,” explores the dynamic interplay between Cobalt Teal and its truest complement, Perylene Maroon.

With composition that predominantly features a single colour, Cobalt Teal, the work aims to induce serene and contemplative emotions. Applying layer with brush and knife, with care and precision, creates a sense of harmony and balance. Within this vast sea of Cobalt Teal, however, a subtle and deliberate disruption emerges—a mere 1% of the composition is home to the beauty and purity of Perylene Maroon. Although Perylene Maroon’s presence is minimal, its complementary nature accentuates the vibrancy of Cobalt Teal, heightening the emotional impact of the artwork. The title, “NOT Perylene Maroon,” further emphasizes this delicate relationship.
