This painting is a manifestation of the magic and obscurity of the black color and all the secrets it keeps inside. Black is unique with that it reflects no light in any part of the visible spectrum. This leads to associations with the unknown and the mysterious. It is the color of darkness when the evil can act unnoticed, when the demons (the figments of the mind and our personal ones) come out. Black is death, loss, emptiness, absolute void.
Yet, paradoxically, black is an important aspect of hope, as even in the darkest of times there is always hope.
Then we have the subtle strokes of red, applied by the author in feather-like motion. Red can be very powerful in its own right, but in this Canvas Art is represented as a supplement to the dominant black. As the title suggests, it is the scarlet tone, in particular, a bright red with an interesting connotation. Scarlet came to be associated to the sin of adultery due to its central role in Nathaniel Hawthornes novel, The Scarlet Letter. However, scarlet can be also very fragile and delicate, expressing the gentle touch of a soft feather. It means warmth and special care.
