AMOURS SOUS LE CIEL 48X60
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/A/Amours_Sous_Le_Ciel_Bleu-big.jpg
“Because the blue of day and night is the perfect setting for dreams
and mystery.
Because it is where great adventures begin.
Learn to feel the sky, the wind, and the desire to soar and keep going!”
S.F.
ARDEN MESSENGER 54X54
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/A/Ardent_Messenger-big.jpg
“Secret life with the same thought:
In our ferocious lives under these skies we desperately want to be loved…
I am airlifted to raging happiness, thrills, and… fears.” S.F.
BILDERBERG 48X60
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/B/Bilderberg-big.jpg
” Chock full of lively! They weave magic spells but can also be
mischievously playful! All these thematic fairies daringly
complimenting each other.
I lived with them when they invaded my privacy of thought.
And one by one escaped from Dream to Reality, creating their utopia
and the tangible. Dreams are made of this.
Need not define their abstraction.
Have no control of that.” S,F.
LE CIEL PROVOCADOR 48X72
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/L/Le_Ciel_Provocador-big.jpg
“I am shaken under the skies in my essential solitude, running for
cover under the cottony cumuli… intergalactic warriors grouping
against the soft blue that is dotted here and there with balls of
clouds.
I exhale…
Learn to feel the sky, the wind, and the desire to soar and keep going!” S.F.
SOLO MATADOR 54X54
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/S/Solo_Matador-big.jpg
“The sky is ending the night and
I follow, only follow to charge my dream
Invitation to instant exoticism…
A fantasy performed free from evocation.
In front of my eyes the endless silhouette of a Matador
becomes elegance in motion.
Before me his face suspended from his golden locks
eyes brilliant, reading my soul, rushing my heartbeat…
My trembling voice reveals my aim…
If I only could…
—let yourself go with the wind.” S.F.
PARLEMENT 50X50
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/P/Parlement-big.jpg
“The Gray of Mystery..The Gray of revolt of Fear..The Gray echoes
melodies played on a white piano..
These scores are the musical transcriptions of the image..of Parlement!” S.F.
ELECTRIC BALADE 48X60
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/E/Electric_Balade-big.jpg
“The smash hit of the evening was the Electric Ingénue and her music.
More naked than dressed in her flowing glow, wrapped in a powdery
flower scent and thigh high jeweled boots..she caught the breathless
desire of everyone in the room..
Her entrance signaled the presence of a New Generation..” S.F.
THINKING OF YOU 48X48
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/T/Thinking_of_You-big.jpg
“A sun ray caressing my face brought you in to me..
loss of thought now..
..in the essence of intimacy
the right moment..
“For members only” space of mind now is yours…
How do I go about?
My essence of intimacy fractured…
Am I at a loss?
Spirits of beasts want my soul..
fading the rush in eyes wide open..
Your magic wand can change seahorses to dragonflies..
I don’t want to change..
only let your destination become my own…
Colormusic my constant reference creates my thoughts..
…and through the looking glass
i see -you- now..
.. and hear the echos from the walls of Palazzo Grassi:
“Where are we going?” S.F.
RENCONTRES 30X40
http://sophiafine.com/paintings/R/Rencontres-big.jpg
“Setting the tone.That is my vocation. A wonderous job. It is veering
from the extreme concentration of the moments, meticulous as measuring
the right amount of coloring for the total freedom to create.
But it is such a place to be! This immersion in color, that midway, in
the journey, I know the expression.. I see the final stage! Dazed and
befuddled..coraled out, this moment is all mine!
In my studio…” S.F.

Building the Seed Cathedral by Thomas Heatherwick
Posted: July 1, 2012 Filed under: Architecture, Art, JustArch | Tags: Architecture, Heatherwick Studio, RIBA Lubetkin Prize, Seed Cathedral, Thomas Heatherwick, UK, UK Pavilion 1 Comment »
Seed Cathedral Thomas Heatherwick (Image Rights: Heatherwick Studio)
An oldie but goody I wanted to share with all.
The UK Pavilion [won the] 2010 RIBA Lubetkin Prize In September 2007, Heatherwick Studio led the winning team in the competition to design the UK Pavilion for the Shanghai 2010 Expo. The event [was] the largest Expo ever [to date] with two hundred countries taking part and over 70 million visitors expected. The theme of the Expo is “Better City, Better Life” and a key client objective is for the UK Pavilion to be one of the five most popular attractions. The studio’s design has three main aims: the first is to be a pavilion whose architecture is a direct manifestation of the content it exhibits; the second is to provide significant public open space in which visitors can relax; the third is to find a simple idea that is strong enough to stand out amidst the busy-ness of the hundreds of competing pavilions.
Click here to read the rest of the story.
Architect Thomas Heatherwick shows five recent projects featuring ingenious bio-inspired designs. Some are remakes of the ordinary: a bus, a bridge, a power station … And one is an extraordinary pavilion, the Seed Cathedral, a celebration of growth and light. Watch Thomas Heatherwick’s talk on TED.com, where you can download it, rate it, comment on it. (Recorded at TED2011, March 2011, in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 16:52)

Meet “WENDY” @MoMAPS1 (by @HWKN_arch)

Wendy by HWKN
July 1, 2012—September 8, 2012
The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 announce HWKN (Matthias Hollwich and Marc Kushner, New York) as the winner of the annual Young Architects Program (YAP) in New York. Now in its 13th edition, the Young Architects Program at MoMA and MoMA PS1 has been committed to offering emerging architectural talent the opportunity to design and present innovative projects, challenging each year’s winners to develop creative designs for a temporary, outdoor installation at MoMA PS1 that provides shade, seating, and water. The architects must also work within guidelines that address environmental issues, including sustainability and recycling. HWKN, drawn from among five finalists, will design a temporary urban landscape for the 2012 Warm Up summer music series in MoMA PS1’s outdoor courtyard. Buy Wendy (Click Here).
Wendy sits far enough away from the stage used for the annual Warm Up events to let the concerts go on unimpeded, but close enough to the entrance to create a filter and initial impact to visitors. It bridges over the walls into the large and small courtyards of MoMA PS1.
Wendy features a simple, inexpensive construction system: the scaffold is deployed efficiently to create a 70’ x 70’ x 45’ volume to form the largest surface area possible.

Photo Art by Frank Cunha III (taken with iPhone, edited using Snapseed, scratches added on iPad using SketchBookX app) — USA
This sunset and springtime,
colors of my tired mind.
Painting the memories,
of another lifetime.
Past and present chances,
woven in time and space.
Lines of songs and dances,
like rain in dreams embrace.
As the sun bids farewell,
this day to remember.
Bridging thoughts and stairwells,
this future to answer.
My memories remind,
of a painting sublime.
Colors of my tired mind,
this sunset and springtime.

Self Portrait taken by an Instagram Friend - Edited by Frank Cunha III — USA
I left
the silent gaze
of your sympathy.
Stepping ever slowly
on shards of glass
as I walked away.
I bleed
from the cut
sliced skin
of my decision
to grow apart -
from your side.
I cried.
The thoughts
of your kindness
that I disregarded
and abandoned
from fear
of leaving behind
a life that I knew.
I am sorry.

Figures, forms, random, and repetitive,
Sequences of space and time -
shape stories.
Seeing, being, and occupying space.
She senses the essence of being there -
from here.
On her device,
distantly distracted,
Looking and being, mind, body, and soul collapse.
Sequences of space and time.
Patterns forming,
and changing.
Calls dropped, missed, and gotten, but never forgotten.
Soul retracted.
The other person listens.
She talks,
and stops….
Patterns remain, shapes broken,
love ones born, and love ones lost,
Talk.
Talk.
Talk.
Walk.
Walk.
Walk.
Sequences of space and time come and go,
Her phone call – done,
her essence – gone.
Soul patterns on the floor,
only her soles,
remain.

Twice in a mundane day,
Unnoticed by most walks of life.
The perfect scene of perfect light,
Strikes at the golden hour.
Like reflections on both ends of the Earth,
Stretched by the reach of the sun.
The day begins when another ends,
But meeting halfway at the golden hour.
Awed in a similar scene,
The skyline of blue and yellow.
These ghost silhouettes and familiar shadows,
Are formed at the golden hour.
With the same expression of a precise time,
Separated by the distant future and the known past.
The present is clearly united,
And in sync at the golden hour.

“One more, please?” Pedro cried out a prayer. He counted the small change he got from yesterday’s earnings.
He still needed to meet his daily quota of cotton candy sales before he could start making any profits for the day.
The gloom oh his face brightened and he couldn’t help a smile broaden when two beautifully dressed girls approached him.

I stood
At the
Edge
Of a sharp
Fence of shadows
Careful not to get wounded
Careful not to bleed.
I was lost temporarily
From the presence
Of overlapping lines
Of spheres
And swords
And daggers
And of mistakes.
There could be more
Of these picket fences
Of these thin soldiers
Of these dark knights
That stood on ground
To protect
To defend
To throw
Their lives.
They stood
Still and firm
In attention
Of the lines
There
In.

The original photo taken by my friend and international collaborator, Lorenzo Bernardino, inspired me to talk about the #3 and why I think it is such a fantastic number (besides the fact that it is my name).
Here is link to other projects we have worked together on and click here to see other posts about numbers.
