Monochromatic.  Neutral. Boring.  Does it ever seem like life just flows from one ordinary and unremarkable day into the next?  In a world dominated by screens and engines, we’ve created a universe that seems devoid of real life and color.

Barcelona artist Yago Hortal embraces the color many of us run from. In fact, his work seems to revel in all its brash boldness and audacity.

 

It seems like we try to curb the color in our lives, perhaps not literal but metaphorically.  That friend, she’s way too “out there”, so we minimize the time we spend with her.  We homogenize our relationships so that everyone we interact with looks like us, talks like us, thinks like us.  So much sameness that it becomes jarring to encounter anyone who is different.  But it is those differences that enrich us and teach us.  Let’s embrace the color in our lives, no matter what hue it may be!
