Hello, My name is Fernando
This work is a random composition
of colour descriptions
Green is like the alive part of a plant
and sounds like birds singing
Red feels like hot or a burn, and is the colour of fire
and sounds like the sirens to alarm people
and emotionally feels like anger or sexual desire.
Brown feels like earth and emotionally feels like
balanced and grounded anchored down.
Grey feels like concrete hard and strong and sounds
like a storm and emotionally feels like depression
Orange is like the fruit, refreshing sweet and tropical
and feels like a warm atmosphere, the sun is orange.
Yellow tastes like a banana
Blue feels like cold water, and sounds like running
from the tap or a stream or river and feels emotionally
calm, cold and collected, serene or balanced.
White feels like cotton is like clouds and sounds
like a calm wind.
