The colors of the Spanish flag; red and yellow; are iconic visual elements that Piccinelli uses to evoke passion for this country.These primary colors are omnipresent in many contemporary artistic works; used to express ideas; emotions and social and political commentary on modern Spain.The bright red of the Spanish flag symbolizes for the painter both the passion; energy and strength of the Spanish people as well as historical moments charged with strong emotions. Artistic passion; political conflicts or social movements agree with the particular contrast of these 2 primary colors.Bright yellow; often interpreted as the color of wealth and light; represents the Mediterranean warmth and joie de vivre associated with Spanish culture.The pink rectangle balances the contrasting dialogue of yellow and red in a joyful and offbeat way.
