WHY PINK? WHY RED?

   Valentines

     (no.3)


We all know  that  both colors of  red and pink, are symbols of love,
and that they are connected to
Valentine’s  Day.

Then – what is the difference?    What color to choose?

Well – the two colors differ in meaning: Red color is associated with the physical aspects of love, it refers to passionate love. Pink color is associated with the spiritual aspects of love,
a
n un-conditional and enduring love, what we call
“TLC” – tender, love, care. 
And also a self-love,which  is essential
for giving love to others…

In 1983, the artists Christo and Jean-Claude, launched a huge  and ambitious one-of-a-kind installation  (of which only the preparatory drawings and the photos remain): They wrapped the coastlines of  11 uninhabited islands in Biscayne Bay, in Miami with pink woven synthetic fabric. The artists did not explain their choice of pink color,but from the point of view of  pink symbolism, it seems they wrapped  Nature  with tender and caring love…






So,
when we choose our presents to our loved ones, we have to consider the color…

  2. Thank you Limitz. I think those artists were very ambitious and brave!And they did love the world and wanted to show it from different prospective.

  3. Hi Vita,

    Thank you for including my ring in your blog. Your blog was thoughtful and informative. Sometimes I think the colors we wear and surround ourselves with reveal so much without speaking a word.

    Your shop and jewelry are lovely.

    Best regards,
