Cidade à Noite - Guido Viaro Museum As a painter I have been fascinated by the color blue. I'm certainly not alone. Picasso is probably the most famous of the past 100 years to have produced a significant blue period, so to speak. Of course, as was Yves Klein. In my paintings, since I really am completely self-taught and really only inspired by those who create what I have no interest in creating, none of these blue periods or obsessions have influenced me. My own blues come from my own tastes.
I'm not really sure why this is so. I grew up on an island, so maybe that's it. But even then the sea where I'm from is so cold and dark that on many days it's more of a green and black than it is a blue. I also have blue eyes, but I've never been the one to wear blue clothes to make this stand out. While I do like having blue eyes, their sensitivity has burdened me more with such severe headaches during periods of uneven light or in the spring or fall when the angle of the sun is such that I can't avoid squinting than they have enlightened me with whatever spectrum they allow me to see. I like blue, but I like other colors, too.
