Purple Fever by Carlos Mota is a celebratory book that explores the color purple across its diverse manifestations in nature, art, interiors, and design. This color, traditionally associated with royalty, creativity, luxury, magic, and peace, is examined in everything from natural elements like lavender and amethyst to its presence in fashion, jewelry, and architecture. Following his previous work, Mota highlights purple's power to inspire creativity and mystery globally. The book showcases the astonishing variety of purple, ranging from the subtle hues of flowers like orchids and pansies to its use in famous artworks by artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Monet, and its appearance in items like royal robes and velvet upholstery. Illustrated with Mota's own photographs from his travels, alongside images by renowned photographers, the volume even includes rooms decorated in purple by notable designers, ultimately serving as a testament to the color's ability to inspire, excite, and fascinate.
