Lot Essay

"Colour lives in my mind. Very early on, I liked to work with colours because it made me happy. Interestingly, back home we never wore black. Colour is a way of life for me. It is not only in my work but in everything I do. Colour has to do with my personality – bold, strong and crude. When I fix my house, it is by design, but when I paint the colours just spontaneously flow from my palette.” - Pacita Abad
