The Color of Life is an artist\u2019s pop-up book by Katerina Kosterina \u2014 a visual and poetic exploration of the human journey. The project, created over three years, combines paper engineering, painterly expression, and quiet philosophical reflection. Each of the ten spreads marks a symbolic pause along the path from birth to the end of life.<\/p>\n

In developing the book, the artist experimented with various media, including large-scale oil paintings. Yet it was the pop-up format that most vividly conveyed the idea of transformation and movement \u2014 the essence of life itself. The sculptural forms and interactive elements make the book both visually engaging and deeply symbolic.<\/p>\n

The Color of Life is more than a book \u2014 it\u2019s an art object inviting reflection and inner dialogue. It touches on universal themes: the search for meaning, the resolution of inner conflict, and the longing for harmony. Through this work, art becomes a tool for self-discovery and transformation.
\nThe project was shared step by step on the artist\u2019s social media, creating a small community of followers who watched the process unfold. The Color of Life bridges visual art, literature, and philosophy, offering not just aesthetic pleasure but a deeply emotional experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":813,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-graphics-en","category-painting-en-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=904"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":905,"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/904\/revisions\/905"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/katerinakosterina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
