A name as deep as its influence
The name BBA stands for ‘Berlin Blue Art’, taken from the original name for the pigment ‘Prussian Blue’. A shining example of mastery and innovation, Berlin Blue was created during the 18th century to combat shades of blue that were prone to fade. This colour was revolutionary to the art world and allowed artists to capture the mysterious beauty of the night sky or the aura of the ocean; a blue so deep, it almost resembles black. The successful experimentation and staying power of Prussian or ‘Berlin’ Blue represents our staying power, constant evolution and striving for artistic progression.
