The color orange and Ruy Silva.
The orange appeared because Ruy “signed” his works with a random orange stain, but through the study of chromo-therapy and the very symbolism of color, the painter realized that the orange resembled his personality: joy, strength to live, Optimism and determination – something that is present throughout his personal and professional life.
Thus the orange acquired a new meaning for the painter, and from that point on, Ruy began to include this object more or less clearly in the composition of his artistic creations.
