Supremacía de la luz
Supremacía de la luz, by RCH35
Supremacía de la luz - La imagen representa un bodegón, abordando éste género desde la perspectiva más humana; el bodegón como huella de lo humano y las relaciones con el otro y con el entorno. La luz inunda el campo visual, interrumpida únicamente por los breves puntos de color que suponen los restos de una comida, el recuerdo de un momento primordial del día compartido por personas que conviven. Es por tanto el bodegón, un testigo o huella de las relaciones humanas. El silencio, la ausencia, el vacío y lo que dejamos tras de nosotros a nuestro paso por el mundo, se convierten en los temas principales de esta naturaleza muerta.

Bikini
Bikini - Un espacio, una habitación, tal vez, y la luz que se inmiscuye en el momento oportuno. Y entonces las formas, en blanco y negro, se transforman ante la mirada indiscreta de aquel que reconstruye, sugiere y recorta la arquitectura de las cosas.
