You may ask yourself, but who is Inge Meta... (color 130 - no link) I would like to tell you the story behind it, because it has so much to do with my life.
For once, I did not stick to a "well-known" artist, but to a "life artist". A person who has managed to live her life under somewhat difficult living conditions and at the same time to give something positive to many other people. Inge Meta is my mother, who overcame the premature and very sudden death of my father by painting watercolour pictures. Being a widow at 60 years of age may not sound unusual, but it left her with 2 children still living at home and a son still at university. My sister and I could only accompany her from afar, because we were both professionally tied to a place. Besides, after many illnesses and privations, it had finally come so far that my parents wanted and were able to treat themselves to something in life. Yes, life is sometimes difficult to understand!
So she started to paint and in the beginning there were only very dark colours like black and dark red. But soon her spirit of life came back and the paintings became brighter and brighter and full of life. Each of her 5 children was allowed to choose one picture. I immediately chose one that reminded me of a door that led into a bright world full of colours. From the first moment I wanted to catch these colours for a new creation in our line. Since there were so many colours in the picture, even those that the textbook says are better not to be mixed, it took me 2 years to develop the final result to my satisfaction. In 2015 my mother became 85 years old and I gave her "her colour" and a certificate. So that her courage and joy of life will jump over to many who use it in a project from this colour. And it works, IngeMeta is one of our best selling colors...., even though it is also the most "unreliable" color, because I never know how the 8 colors will mix together... just like in real life...
Unfortunately, Inge Meta has suddenly gone to the other world in September 2019. Not only because of this colour she will always remain in vivid and colourful memories for many of us.
