Isabel's yellow

The term "absolute abstract" can be understood in two main contexts: philosophical and artistic. In philosophy, it refers to a concept or idea that exists purely in thought, without any physical or concrete manifestation, yet is considered complete and perfect within its own realm. In art, particularly in the context of the abstract movement, it signifies a style of painting or sculpture that moves away from representational imagery to focus on pure form, color, and line. It can also refer to the purest form of abstract art, where the work is completely detached from any reference to the external world. In essence, "absolute abstract" in the philosophical sense implies a perfect, self-contained concept, while in art, it suggests a complete departure from representational imagery in favor of pure abstraction. Therefore I asked myself if klein’s blue can be considered an absolute abstract, particularly in the context of his monochrome paintings. Klein used a specific shade of blue to represent the immaterial, the void, and the infinite. His use of a single, vibrant color, devoid of representational imagery, aimed to liberate the viewer's mind and evoke a sense of the boundless. Not being a copy-cat I decided to show you Isabel’s yellow (don’t laugh) crossed by some vertical and horizontal limits maybe representing our own brain’s limitations… And well, why not give a try to some Kandinsky inspiration but in a humble minimalistic interpretation, I called it "Void's attraction" On PIP too .

I was intending to take my gear and look for something to compose indoors. Down there it is hard with almost 40°C outside in my favorite photo ground uphills and at the beach it is so flooded with people that it is not inspiring at all. When I go walk my dogs in the dunes before sunrise I only carry the iPhone, but when I saw this rabbit (in fact they were two but by the time I could shoot one was hidden) I thought that even if quality is lousy the composition and the feeling were the best I could get for this day! Bem haja

Cthulhu waits dreaming...

31 Jul 2025 25 18 621
In H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, the phrase "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming" is central to the slumbering cosmic entity, Cthulhu, who resides in the sunken city of R'lyeh beneath the Pacific Ocean, in a state that is neither truly alive nor dead. While dormant, Cthulhu can still exert influence on the world through telepathy, sending dreams that inspire his cultists and may eventually lead to his full awakening and the end of the world.
