The Meanings of Colors in Greece


My partner is Dimitris. He comes from Greece. He explained 4 colors in his country:red,white,yellow and green. Dimitris said he liked flowers and plants very much. So I took photos all about nature. The first pictures are roses. I went especially to Walmart where they sell roses to take pictures.Red means love and passion in Greece. They send roses to lovers to express their sincere love.


The 2nd photo, I actually don't know the flower's name.But I really like it.Just like my partner said,white represents cleanliness and purity.


The third picture is about green. The meaning in Greece is hope and nature. When I saw these leaves,they gave the same feelings.


And last photo is about yellow. Yellow means happiness and brightness. I think the two flowers also bring us happy and bright feelings. In these four photoes,I concentrated on the plants to make colors stand out. They look simple and maybe they aren't as abstract as others' work. But I think the beauty from nature can be felt by our hearts.
