Dreaming the real Blue
Mario D’souza
2018
This generous and luminous work is conceived by the artist as a gesture of welcome for the visitors of the panoramic terrace, this space out of time and suspended above the city.
The dominant colours of the fresco echo the history of indigo, used as a pigment on several continents: first yellow when leaving the dye baths, the fabrics gradually turn purple blue only when in contact with the air. Organic forms recall the natural world (plant pods, river delta or rivers, etc.) as well as some children’s games (hopscotch, labyrinths, elastic, etc.), making the link between man and his environment. They allow the joyful and luminous contamination of space.
Around, the yellow walls, curtains and chair make this space a familiar place where everyone can put their childhood memories as in the living room of a family member.
