/stuck in a dream February 29, 2024 Across the deep blue sky, the sparks from the sun’s chariot burn the streaks of clouds resulting in a unique version of the teal and orange color palette. The mist as if trying to escape the fire, takes cover between the jagged mountains and the green hills. The photons mirror what’s right above them creating a gradient. The intensity of the yellow ball orbiting the Earth is mild enough not to wash the […]
/fire in the sky February 28, 2024 The canvas painted by a setting sun can be Astounding. Adorable. Awe-inspiring. Avant-garde. Amaranthine. Angelic. And that’s only the A’s. Windswept water droplets stuck to the dust floating in the air create streaks so artsy that it’d give the biggest painters a run for their money. Outshining the remnant shades of blackened azure, the slices of the orange spectrum make the sky glow like fire. It’s one of those surreal moments where you […]
/meet me here at the edge of the Earth February 21, 2024 Distant horizon lines have always sparked something inside me. Be it a calm shoreline, the curvy line in the sandy desert, the Tetris-like cityscape, or a jagged mountain range. There’s a ballet of emotions at play. Pair that with the breaking of the dawn or the sleep routine of our primary source of Vitamin D, and you have yourself a sight that walks the tightrope of reality and […]
/the artist that a child is February 20, 2024 Day’s first/last light is usually the first artifact created by the child learning to express itself to the inhabitants of the only planet in the known universe lucky enough to exhibit a series of cosmic events that led to the evolution and sustenance of life. It was certainly mine. Drawing two peaks of brown mountains and a semi-circular yellow orb was the “artistic” take I took as a child instead of […]
/the night comes down like heaven February 19, 2024 You come to being at twilight.With angels at your side.Bestowed by the light of the sunrise. You live by daylight.A rumour of demons lurking behind.Hiding in plain sight. The whites of your eyes.Turn into graphite.Is it the fate of the mortal, or did you turn divine? You know for the last time.”I can no longer call it ‘mine’.So give me the night, the night, the night.” You tangle endlessly.And you remember […]
/the pilgrim February 14, 2024 begin:Sporting leather boots to shield the winter and a bow with arrowheads made of titanium walked a shadow on the deafening silent Rue of Paris. The lights were every shade of amber as if people were compensating for the harsh monotone and grimness the season brought with it. Yet, there’d be a feast for the dark reaper. Stealth is a lingua franca for both professions, the one being captured and the one capturing. Blink and […]
/the earth, the moon, the sun, and the sea February 12, 2024 An artist’s style is, from a technical point of view, nothing other than the particular idiom in which he deploys the forms of his art. And the most beautiful thing is that we have abundant ways of expression. Seeing the mindless churning of hollow short-form content floating in the bottomless pit of the digital abyss, I’d say it’s being overproduced. But then we have artists like us, you […]
/an evening in Brussels February 7, 2024 Day walking tours are usually considered the best way to explore a city—one can marvel at the beauty of the surroundings in proper light is one of the many reasons. But taking a walk in Brussels in the evening will change your mind. Not only is the city bathed in the classic yellow tones that are ever-so-pleasing to the human eyes, but you get to see it in, quite literally, new light. Take […]
/asphalt and golden poppy February 6, 2024 Yes, asphalt and golden poppy because black-and-gold is hackneyed enough. Or because grey is the closest symbol of routine life and the golden poppy is as close as we get to, dare I say, representing happiness? But that’s not the topic here. I digress. There’s something about this color combination that goes beyond platitudinousness. Is it just the right amount of eye-catching color? Is it because they create a striking contrast when paired […]
/of cobblestoned streets February 5, 2024 The quintessential ‘things that stood the test of time’ (which is getting rare at a worrying rate in today’s day and age) are cobblestoned streets. And charming at that. When we think of them, it brings down memories of cute little alleys and winding lanes in fascinating European towns. Not just pretty, cobbles are quite functional. They are one of the most hardwearing and extremely durable materials for pavements. Around 238 BC, the Romans […]
