Andrés Reisinger, on pink

Here at Darklight Art monochrome may be our wife, but pink is our mistress. We just can’t help ourselves.

Nor can Andrés Reisinger – the Barcelona-based artist whose like-the-physical-world-but-better 3D designs and digital creations are characterised by his rhapsodic application of pink. Whether he’s creating fantastical lunar landscapes, marshmallowy extensions to urban architecture or furniture with digital upholstery so deliciously textured it appears edible, pink creeps in. [We all know that pink food tastes the best, why should chairs be any different?]

We spoke with Andrés about his, and our, favourite colour.

What is your first pink memory?
Even if I cannot consciously recollect the moment, birth.

Do you think pink is a gendered colour?
Pink belongs to every living being, and in that nature is genderless.

What’s the best pink thing in Barcelona?
One of my collectors owns a beautiful pink Porsche 911 Carrera.

What texture is pink?
A soothing, silky texture.

Do you dream in pink?
I dream in a multi-colored but pink-hued dimension.

What shape is pink?
Organic, slowly but ever-changing and ever-moving.

What does pink smell like?
Of just-blossomed Hortensias.

Can pink feel sad?
Pink can feel anything and everything; it absorbs and reflects each of our moments.

Is pink an expensive colour?
It is life, and therefore expensive.

Where is the pinkest place you’ve ever been?
My own physical installations.

Is pink your friend or your enemy?
Pink is neither a friend nor an enemy; it is above and beyond that, a life companion.
