Sandy Palasti

As an artist, I am constantly exploring the relationship between color, memory, and emotion. For me, color is not just a visual element, but a tool to convey mood and atmosphere in my work. It allows me to communicate and express the emotions that I am feeling, or that I want my viewers to feel.

Memories play a significant role in my creative process, as I draw inspiration from my own experiences and the world around me. I believe that memories are not static, but are constantly evolving, and this is reflected in my use of color. I use color to capture the fleeting and ephemeral nature of memories, and to convey the passage of time. Through the use of vivid, saturated hues, I seek to evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing, and to transport my viewers to a different time and place.
