Komarin was inspired by a trip he took to Paris where he became lost in the back streets - there were winding roads with shops and well worn churches and various facades. To gain his bearings, Komarin look-up to see that the road was named 'Rue Madame' which he immediately took as inspiration to dub his series of red paintings.
Komarin is fascinated by the colour red as it references everything from wine to blood, fruity juices and dyes, flowers and our own bodies. He believes that red is a greatly psychologically loaded colour.
