Mountain meadows in summer, larch and pine forests in fall, blueberries, wasps, moss, gentians.
Nature has created and preserves each colour, inviting us to experience them as integral parts of our existence and, through them, to celebrate the beauty and richness of diversity.
Nature, without asking anything in return, fascinates, teaches, shelters.
Beyond simply beautifying the world, colours serve essential functions: they help endangered animals camouflage, signal impending weather changes, and attract pollinators.
In daily life, the colours people choose for clothing, furnishings, and walls are more than just decorative; they evoke emotions and create connections.
For Paola Lenti, the story begins with observing nature to explore its colours.
The series of seven short videos titled “Oasi di Colore” is the means through which Paola Lenti shares the emotions and associations that each colour awakens, blending colours and music in a play of aesthetic and chromatic analogies.
Each episode concludes with words that renowned philosophers, painters, and writers dedicated to the seven protagonist colours.
