<p>"I am an artist and you are right, you are not mad, I am a great artist and I know it. It is because I am such that I have endured such sufferings. To do what I have done in other circumstances would make me a ruffian. Which I am no doubt for many people. Anyhow, what does it matter? What distresses me most is not so much the poverty as the perpetual obstacles to my art, which I cannot practice as I feel it ought to be done and as I could do if relieved of the poverty which ties my hands. You tell me I am wrong to remain far away from the artistic centre. No I am right, I have known for a long time what I am doing, and why I do it. My artistic centre is in my brain and not elsewhere and I am strong because I am never sidetracked by others, and do what is in meMy actions, my painting etc., are criticised and repudiated every time, but in the end I am acknowledged to be right. I am always starting all over again. I believe I am doing my duty, and strong in this. I accept no advice and take no blame. The conditions in which I am working are unfavourable, and one must be a colossus to do what I am doing in these circumstances."<br/> - Paul Gauguin.</p>

<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>Hailing from Valencia in Spain, contemporary photographer Luis Beltràn may be regarded as a storyteller who uses photography to set his mind free from everyday life. Through his pictures, Luis Beltrán talks about loneliness and mystery, suspended between reality and imagination and dedicates his work « to those who daydream, who live in fantasy worlds and don’t want to wake up ».</em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>Although not entirely fantastical, his images have been retouched to make each setting slightly unreal, giving it a sense of the impossible while firmly keeping one foot in reality.</em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>Luis Beltran is represented by Agora Gallery in New York, Blanca Berlin in Madrid, Artloveyou in Barcelona, Mediadvanced in Gijón and Galería O+O in Valencia. His work has been published in such magazines as Ex Magazine and Art Notes.</em></span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;">1. Do you consider yourself as a figure of contemporary photography ?</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn :</strong> As long as I can remember, the pursuit of creativity and talent always fascinated me. One day, I discovered that I could express myself through photography. <strong>It allows me to show people how the world appears through my eyes and to tell stories that I think are worthy of sharing. I see myself as not just a photographer, but as someone with a vivid imagination that uses photography to capture my dreams and render them eternal.</strong></span></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;">2. How would you describe your style ?</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn :</strong> I’ve always believed simplicity is the best way to convey emotions and this belief I strive to apply to each of my works. T<strong>here is beauty in simplicity, and this beauty is able to connect with us.</strong> I like to create dreamlike scenes where human beings interact with nature, looking for its essence.</span></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;"><strong><span>3. What about your experience ?</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn : </strong>My first contact with photography was more than 20 years ago. I started with an old camera borrowed from a friend. To me, the darkroom is a magical place to develop photographs and I suggest to photography, enthusiasts to try this experience. Later on, digital photography opened me a world of infinite creative possibilities that allowed me realise ideas that were not possible before. <strong>Photography changed my way of seeing the world and helped me find a meaning in my life.</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609291253?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609291253?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;"><strong><span>4. Your work is transfigured by a poetic and fantastic vision…</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn :</strong> I like to explore human feelings in my photography, for example, loneliness or sadness. I find my own feelings to be inexhaustible source of inspiration, so I never hesitate to use introspection as a means of fuelling my creativity. <strong>I feel comfortable travelling to a fantastic world where everything is simple but at the same time is beautiful and eternal.</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609300465?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609300465?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;"><strong><span>5. Do you express the hope to transform the world in a particular way ?</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn : </strong>I don’t expect to change the world with my photography, although I wish I could. When I’m creating, I do it for myself just because <strong>I feel that way. I take great pleasure when people connect meaningfully with my artwork, so in this sense I do hope to transform the world, even if it is simply one person at a time, making their day a little better.</strong></span></p>

<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;"><strong><span>6. Are you influenced by Painting ?</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn :</strong> Painting is a discipline I admire due to its ability to recreate a fantasy world that evoke in me an infinity of feelings. I am probably influenced by some artists because of the colour and style of their work.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609315695?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609315695?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;"><strong><span>7. Which photographers have an impact on your work ?</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn : </strong>There are countless good photographers whom I admire, most of them with an amazing talent. Some are not really well known but are nonetheless fantastic artists. I think every time I contemplate a good photo there is something that remains inside of me and influences my work. <strong>I like so many authors with different style but if I should highlight one, it would be Eugenio Recuenco. He inspires to me to demand even more from myself, to create even better photographs.</strong></span></p>

<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span>8. Are you fascinated by the children’s world ?</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn : </strong>I recall with nostalgia moments in my childhood where I can create free from the boundaries of the adult world. I like to think back to the years when I was a child and live again those past moments full only of happiness and inner peace.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609321682?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609321682?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span>9. What’s your relation with nature ?</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn :</strong> I like to escape the city to places where I can meditate and find, inside of me, feelings that we let slowly die while we are growing older. <strong>That only can happen when nature surrounds me. It is with nature that I feel at peace with myself.</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609325478?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8609325478?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;"><strong><span>10. What about the future </span><span>?</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luis Beltràn :</strong> Fashion and advertising photography, my main occupation for the past four years, it’s a demanding career that requires a lot of time. At present, it doesn’t really allow me to work on my personal work. I would like to carry out some projects in the future, although so far they are just some ideas that need to take shape… My head needs to dream again…</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>German Expressionist painter, Gabriele Münter was born on this day in 1877. Her work is often characterized by rich colors, simplified forms, and bold lines. Münter painted landscapes, portraits, and domestic interiors; capturing the mood of what she saw rather than exactly depicting what she saw. Together with Vasily Kandinsky, Alexei von Jawlensky, Franz Marc and others in 1911 she co-founded Der Blaue Reiter (the Blue Rider). The Blue Rider movement was a legendary chapter in the history of art that championed the connections between visual art, music and spiritually-based color theory before disbanding around the outbreak of WWI in 1914. Münter was at the forefront of the Munich avant-garde in the early 20th century.</p>

<p><br/> An exhibition of paintings by three young Afghan sisters living in Garmadareh, Alborz Province, Iran, will run until June 14 at the Tehran Cultural Center of Nations.</p>
<p>Abstract paintings by Belqis (15), Sakineh (14), and Narges Mohammadi (14), caught the attention of Maryam Yeganeh, the school's art secretary, and the teacher decided to introduce the artwork of the three teenagers to the Iranian art community. .</p>
<p>Yeganeh tells Shargh newspaper that the main reason for her efforts to hold this exhibition, apart from introducing the special talent of these sisters, was that Belqis, Sakineh, Narges and their families become more hopeful about art by selling these works and can continue their education and purchase expenses. Provide painting.</p>
<p>Prior to the exhibition, Belqis, Sakineh and Narges had told their art teacher that they had to drop out of school due to financial difficulties and could not afford to pay for the high school tuition.</p>

<p>Folio from an illustrated manuscript.</p>
<p>Author : Farid ud-din Attar. circa 1600 CE; Safavid Iran</p>
<p></p>
<p>'The illustration on this folio depicts a scene from a mystical poem, Mantiq al-tair (Language of the Birds), written by a twelfth-century Iranian, Farid al-Din 'Attar. The birds, which symbolize individual souls in search of the simurgh (a mystical bird representing ultimate spiritual unity), are assembled in an idyllic landscape to begin their pilgrimage under the leadership of a hoopoe (perched on a rock at center right). The careful, harmonious composition is consistent with that of the late fifteenth-century Timurid miniatures also in the manuscript, but three factors indicate that this image is later: the presence of the hunter, who has no place in the narrative; his firearm, a weapon that gained currency in Iran after the mid-sixteenth century; and the signature of the late sixteenth- to early seventeenth-century artist Habiballah'.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: fbey; font-weight: 100; font-style: normal; outline: none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; caret-color: #4e4e4e; color: #4e4e4e; font-size: 16px; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Ernesto Neto is one of the most important contemporary artists. Spirituality, humanism, and ecology are among his principal concerns. His work since the 1990s has been characterized by the use of unusual materials and techniques. His sculptures and installations often feature biomorphic forms and organic materials, with transparency and sensuality playing a major role. Viewers can touch the works and walk through them or set them in motion; in many cases, they also appeal to the sense of smell. The visitor is invited to concentrate on his or her own perception and interact with the work and its environment.</p>

The culture and customs of the Huni Kuin, their knowledge and craft skills, their aesthetic sense, their values, their world view, and their spiritual connection with nature, have transformed Neto's conception of art and become integral elements of his artistic practice.</p>

Strips of cotton were colored, and then knotted together with a finger-crocheting technique to form a giant transparent structure. The upper part of the work, shaped like the crown of a tree, will cover the ceiling of the station concourse. At the base of the tree there is a large space where visitors can linger and rest on seats arranged in a circle. Drop-shaped elements hanging from the branches are filled with aromatic spices and dried leaves.</p>
