A friend (on Facebook) just introduced me to Fabian Perez, wow, what an awesome artist.
I love art because it’s a form of communication. The artist in creating the art say something about themselves, and most importantly, for what feelings, thoughts, inspirations and imaginations the art reveals to me, a voyeur of art and the inner realms. It helps me understand myself and feel different things, just like if you were to close your eyes and with attention caress the surface of some object, in order to understand it sensually.
Lets start with “Selling Pleasures“, I first saw this out of context and hadn’t seen the title of the picture, so my comments are based from that perspective. I like this picture because of the smile and ambiance. My imagination is sparked in the way taste buds reveal flavor when food is eaten. Whats happening around her and with her? If I were to meet her in that situation, what would she be like to chat with? This would be excellent to use in a writing class. Im sure time permitting I could write an entire short story around this one picture.
“Selling Pleasures II“, I love this one because the smile on the attractive face, combined with the posture and surroundings invokes feelings of happiness and intrigue, intrigue because im wondering what has caused her to feel that way? What would it be like to be involved in the social situation that precipitated that moment, and of course what happens next?
So here are some others I like;
- Sunflower – Soft natural gentleness with the added intrigue on what could she be feeling and thinking
- Flamenco Dancer – The mystery, what does she look like? how will she dance and express her self?
- Dancer in Red – Just the moment of interplay between possibly arriving and leaving
- Samurai – This represents visually, my inner strength, discernment and focus on whats important in life.
- Old Self Portrait – The picture says it all.
I also love modern art and sculpture, and of course, written art.
