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.

“A Woman” — A Collaboration by @Zorlone and @FrankCunhaIII
Posted: October 3, 2012 Filed under: FC3ZMD, Poetry | Tags: Art, FC3ZMD, Photo Art, Photography, Poetry, Zorlone 2 Comments »Through the hour glass
shaped wire
I make out a figure
of a woman.
In her form,
I can see the universe.
All the colors and shapes
that form
the space
around us are present
in her outline.
In the curves
I can make out each planet,
each cell,
and each subatomic particle.
She is the universe,
she is life!

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 by Zorlone – Philippines Edited by Frank Cunha using Snapseed and Photoshop — USA
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.

“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.

KG Portrait (Artwork by Frank Cunha III)
Seeing your new photo art each day is inspiring. Can you tell us about your latest artwork?
Can you explain your artistic process? Which artists/photographers are you influenced by?
Because I always have my camera ready, I take a lot of pictures. I usually don’t go out looking for certain subjects or topics. When I see something that strikes me, I take a few shots. Then, periodically, or when I am designing a new collection, I go back through and I often notice themes running through my photos. I use this as a jumping off point for design inspiration.
Can you explain your artistic process? Which artists/photographers are you influenced by?
I am greatly influenced by art. Color is a huge inspiration for me, so I love to spend time in galleries and museums, online, or reading books. My favorite artists are Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still. Their use of color is masterful. I also find great design and life inspiration from Simon Alcantara, a genius jewelry designer. As far as photography?
I find great inspiration from the photos of the amazing Frank Cunha III !!!
Have you ever considered publishing an ebook of your work?
As a matter of fact, no. I never have. Hmmmm….
I am glad we put that thought in your head!

Can You tell us about Your Process.
I came from a Beautiful World, which presented itself to me early in life. Art was always within me, in so many ways, in everything I saw and touched. I feel like a creator of Expressive Beautiful things, as if God Touched me.
Creativity! Yes! Art is a great Gift! I aim to transform my visions and feelings into my Art.
I create happiness. I can’t wait to go to my studio, express myself, and make things happen. Sometimes I pour the Colors on an Empty Canvas and before me I see all the things I had in my mind.
I like to create themes, with enchanted realities, dream-like, and with absurd beauty. But never losing the soul communication with the viewer when jostling together colorful compositions that are as jolly as kitsch Postcards from Heaven!
I like to immerse the viewer in the false immobility of life’s turbulence and to render the animated presence of Joy!
Everyone has a space within them that waits to be filled with new, yet unknown excitement.

Who is Vassilis & What is “The Remote Posing Project”
Posted: February 23, 2012 Filed under: Art, More FC3, Photography, Social Media | Tags: Art, Artist, Expose, Flickr, Friend, Instagram, Original, Photo, Portraits, Unique 5 Comments »First of all I want to thank everyone for supporting and subscribing to my Art & Architecture (and misc.) blog. In less than one year we have gone from 100 visitors a day to nearly 1,000 and growing everyday. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have met some really interesting people utilizing various social media sites. Vassilis, aka “Vasvas” has some of the most intense portraits I have ever seen. The interesting part is that he does his portraits remotely. Read on to learn about his process and how he creates these intriguing images of people all around the world, many which he has never met in person.
Vasvas, your work is incredible. Can you tell us about your latest project and how did you get started with this project?
Thank you very much! My project is called “Remote Posing Project”. I post in instagram and Flickr hi contrast and highly detailed portraits. My portraits are extreme close ups of people’s faces in order to get the required detail. After posting some of my photos on instagram, a guy with nickname @Nixxin (Ben Boyd from Mississauga, Ontario) sent me a portrait of him to edit.
The post was very successful and I thought that as my shooting process is very simple (put your iPhone close to your nose and shoot!), I could sent some simple instructions and people from all over the world will send me their photos for editing. The Remote Posing Project (the name sucks!) was born! So far I’ve made the portraits of 19 people from USA to Australia!
Can you explain your artistic process? Which artists if any are you influenced by?
The summary of my process is that I convert a color photo to a HDR black and white photograph. I use only my iPhone 4 for shooting and editing my portraits. The process was discovered by chance one day I was fooling around with some applications… The result was impressive and I perfected the process. My process enhances extremely the details of the skin making some people think I shoot with an expensive DSL camera.. But it’s just an iPhone 4 or 4s and good lighting conditions! The comment I usually receive is that although I make people look ugly I capture their soul in my photos. Some others say that I make people look like coal miners, which I think, is true! Also women avoid sending me their faces!!! In my opinion I make some very interesting detailed portraits and that is all…. I don’t have have any influences, I never thought that I will be shooting portraits…. But I’m sure there are some great photographers who made this style of photography before me….
So far beside the people participating in the project, I had the pleasure to cooperate with some great instagrammers like Evren Dede (@evrendede) from Greece with who I made my most popular photo and Serhan Keser (@serhankeser) from Turkey who donated a great face to my collection!
Self Portrait by Vassilis This is my ugly face...! I use this photo for my avatar in Instagram. The original caption is "Vassilis Segos, Marriage Counselor". I try to use humorous or intriguing captions in my photos...."
Self Portrait by Vassilis This is another photo of me, previously unreleased. I posted this in a dating site with no success at all...!
