Thoughts behind our 《Purple Koi Fish - Magic Power》Painting

We have been fond of purple for so many years. Some people say purple is depressive, some say purple is elegant, and some say purple represents sadness. But for us, purple is a kind of nostalgia, a sentiment, a spirit, a source of life. Our thoughts were more like the weather at the turn of spring and summer in Hong Kong, with gratitude, fond memories, the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, the roaming grass and white clouds of the country parks, and the pervasive scent of the human condition, with all its flavors. In fact, the spirit of the purple koi will have a profound impact on the formation of our character and on the way we conduct ourselves throughout our lives. We can adapt to prosperity and love desolation at the same time, not be moved by the world's impetuous and noisy, and have our own human attitude and code of conduct.

The source of life and spirit will always be ours. Gratitude for the countless lotus koi ponds in Hong Kong that have given us a deeper impression of purple. Gratitude to the purple koi for giving us an eternal source of spiritual life and spirit. The purple koi represent a magical power that reminds us of our connection to our inner magic. Magical results are happening in our lives. A sense of magic will illuminate our lives and we will see, hear and feel the beauty of all things in the world in a new way. Sometimes obstacles can be real challenges, and sometimes we are stuck in a situation we can't solve, like today's covid-19, and we are as helpless as if we were in a cold winter world. Sometimes we are afraid to ask for what we really desire because we think it is too great or too wonderful. Here comes the purple koi fish, moving with the passion of a fairy tale elf.

The purple koi is big and beautiful. It has tremendous power in its body. It gently tells us that our lives are full of wonder and that our lives are a joyful, loving journey through the earth. At every step along life's path, there is always something quietly waiting for us to discover, explore and celebrate. But if our hearts are filled with anxiety and fear, there is no room for the magic to unfold its power. The Purple Koi invites us to relax and allow its purple light to penetrate our entire body, bringing us amazing energy and vitality to help us grow and develop spiritually. Continue to use our enthusiasm and confidence to move forward with our plans. Sometimes an extra cloud of magic dust will come over us and the situation will resolve itself in a beautiful way quickly and easily.

Purple is one of the basic colors of the five colors. It lies between blue and red, which is also known as bright fuchsia. Purple is a noble and mysterious color, slightly melancholic, sentimental, and nostalgic. It represents elegance, nobility, charm, pride, mystery, impressive, and depression. In traditional culture, purple is the color of honor, and there is also the concept of "purple energy". Influenced by this, and also stemming from the ancient worship of the North Star, many princes and nobles also revered purple. Purple plays an important role in art and culture and is known as the color of the individualist. Purple also plays a role in culture and psychology. Very often, we are concerned with the unexpected elements in purple. In purple, many opposing points come together, more than in any other color, so purple is often considered contradictory. However, in nature, purple is considered to be the color of calm.

The lilacs blooming in the vast lavender fields have a magical attraction for many people. When we mix the complementary colors red and blue together, we create purple. Red represents energy and strength, while blue represents calm and peace. This also shows how contradictory purple is. In psychology, purple represents femininity. For this reason, many cosmetic manufacturers use this color in their packaging. Due to its contradictory nature, the color also has some ambiguity. Purple also represents ambiguity and melancholy. For this reason, purple is only used selectively in advertising. Purple also represents luxury. Purple used to be a very expensive color, popular only in aristocratic circles. If a product was to be advertised as very luxurious and high quality, then purple was used more often in advertising - especially in combination with gold.

In the field of art, French impressionist painter Oscar Claude Monet is considered crazy about purple, and critics call it "violet to mania". Monet created an impression of an oil painting of the sunrise over the port of Le Havre in 1872. In this painting, the warm yellow sunlight sprinkles on the light green water surface, and the blue-purple sailboat gives a fuzzy reflection on the water surface. The ethereal light and shadow envelop all this in the purple atmosphere. Monet showed the charming scenery with wonderful changes and movements of light, and the painter depicted the vivid scene of reflection and vibration of blue and purple light on the wide sea with light jumping strokes. Other artists in the 20th century also made good use of purple. Georgia O'Keeffe used purple to convey more intangible forces, such as warmth, vitality, and sensibility.

A bigger contributor to purple was Isabelle Collin Dufresne, whose purple hair, purple eyeshadow, and purple lips became her label. Like her, the well-known figures who have transformed purple from luxury to the forefront of counter mainstream culture also include music idols Prince and Jimi Hendrix. The purple carp is just as its name implies, with a pale purple body and a mysterious aura, although it is not the most conspicuous one among the colorful koi. The yellow color of the golden koi is the color of a king, although the purple koi do not have this color, it has the same dignity as the golden koi, and the purple koi swims also with grace and elegance. The purple carp may not be flashy enough, but it is so natural, like a flying paintbrush that passes in front of us and splashes a splash of purple that makes our eyes light up. 

Purple carp can be divided into two kinds, of which those who are purple all over are called "Purple carp", and those with dark brown purple stripes on the purple background are called "Purple Dragon". The purple carp hybridized with the German mirror carp to cultivate a variety with no or little scales, which is called the "German purple carp". Purple carp are mostly light Beijing purple, that is, dark purple with red hair. There was a time when ultramarine was considered the ideal color for purple carp, i.e., blue with purple (a color very common in tropical fish). The meaning of purple as a color plays a role not only in the design of living spaces but also in the development of fine art. We firmly believe that anything is possible if a dream of magical purple exists in our hearts. Let's make a wish for purple and release it into the universe, where we ourselves are the miracle we seek, and let our deepest feelings of joy and gratitude open the door to the richness of our lives.
