Investigação da psicodinâmica das cores sobre amarelo e azul : memorial descritivo em pinturas em tela

Abstract

Throughout history, colors have acquired their own meanings when used in isolation, being able to transform interpretations by simply attributing a certain color to an object. They can be used in religious contexts, rituals or as indicators of status, colors carry with them distinct sensations and interpretations. This memorial aims to investigate the sensations and interpretations aroused by the emotional charge arising from the exclusive use of the colors Yellow and Blue in paintings on canvas. Research on color and its history, associated with the psychodynamics of colors, allows us to understand how Yellow and Blue are intrinsically linked, regardless of the context in which they are applied, be it in art, commerce, design, social interactions, emotions or physical perception. The final investigation comes from the production and analysis of four canvases that seek, with the focus on colors and less on the representative character of the shapes, to explore the visual potential present in the simultaneous contrast of these colors, through oil painting, dividing the canvases into these two colors to observe how these colors work together.
