IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!

 

Overlay with Buddha statue - Utrecht 2020


I am still clinging to the body, mind and memory, like a castaway holding a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean, even though he knows he can never save him.

As long as duality persists, conflict will exist. The choice is between a false awareness and the embrace of the ocean.

It's time to wake up!

The ship never sailed!

URBAN DRAWINGS

Urban drawing (1) - 's-Hertogenbosch 2020 The bombardment of senses in the city suggests infinite scripts of light. On sunny days, shadows are a presence that should not be underestimated, because they influence the harmony of an image in the same way as color combinations. I like to probe the limits of chaos. How many distractions can I include in an image before making a mess? Which colors can I combine? How many shadows? Composing urban drawings is one of my favorite games.   From: The Shadow of Light

MANNEQUINS: SOME READINGS

Perfect, modeled, programmed creatures. Again, who looks like who? And then, here is the hand that dresses them, that positions them, that shows them. In its preparation, we can grasp the meaning of its existence infused by the creator. It is a full-fledged replicant, mirror of our induced needs, fetish of the Narcissus God that contemporary society unknowingly ado

NORMAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Gate on the sea - Baia Toscana (2017) "Normal photography" is for me an attitude, a condition of the soul, not a technique or a style. It is a gesture that begins as a reaction but becomes controlled and deeply aware over time. It is to satisfy the need to record one's own vision, no matter whether for fun or artistic research. It is a sequence of intents, a flow of movements that starts from the recognition of the scene, goes on with a thoughtful technical execution aimed at its acquisition, and ends with the slight touch of the shutter button. It is an act in itself, a harmonious flow, the fairest epilogue of a happy discovery. Have you ever tried to combine meditation and photography? It is a bit like focusing on yourself before you do it with your lens. I invite you to find your method. When you are standing in a crowded place, for example, full of impulses, and saturated with potential creativity, it can be difficult to recognize the decisive moment through that much
