A une amie, Maria, qui m'a donné l'idée de créer ce blog ...

... J'ai voulu lui rendre un hommage bien mérité et partager, ici, quelques unes de ses très belle photos.
Qu'elle en soit tellement remerciée.
Maria partage avec moi entre autres le goût de l'Art, de la Photographie et du Beau.
Ces photos sont toutes empreintes de délicatesse, de sensibilité et de finesse.
Par ce modeste article, je "lui laisse la parole" ... et les rêves !

Dreams ? Dreams are just as an inner voice.
Life ? Life is also made of dreams. A powerful voice is loud and can be heard from a long way away.
Words ? A word, a photo or the warm feeling one gets from doing a good deed.

"If I had a dream and it is both the singular and the plural
If the sense of dignity and decency,
will get a decent explanation.
Thinking it's been like that all along :
common decency and enlightened values.
If I breath and think...

If I can make the last 10 seconds exciting,
Gentle and deliberate and attention to detail
Or if I talk to other people just like that
If I had a sense of déjà vu
And if I make people believe,
The sun would be up again..."

Words and Dreams, Maria Monteiro

Les portes de notre imagination ... The doors of our imagination ... Maria Monteiro et Julien Pascual

"Un cri"

Avec une amie, je partage une émotion très forte devant les œuvres de Julien Pascual, dont j'ai déjà parlé sur ce blog.
Maria a écrit un superbe texte (en portugais, sa langue maternelle et en anglais) sur ce qu'elle ressent devant les oeuvres de Julien, texte qui mérite d'être publié car il nous incite à faire silence, au delà de nos rêves et de nos réalités, sur une fenêtre ouverte sur le monde de maintenant, d'aujourd'hui, de demain. ...

"Demain Peut Etre"

"Simplesmente...

Num de repente uma foto quadrada e outra e mais outra tocaram a liberdade da imaginação, as palavras da interpretação, a poesia sem palavras... A certeza de sermos apenas um instante, um ponto na imensidão. O olhar deteve-se para aprofundar a descoberta. Singelo como a nossa própria existência na imensidão das possibilidades. Para além dos nossos sonhos, das nossas realidades, encontram-se distintas as marcas, as memórias que criamos em nosso redor, captadas pelos olhar atento do fotógrafo e artista.

À mente é permitido deambular pelas cenas quotidianas em que o mar e a terra se tocam, e, até, procurar uma identificação ou, somente, por oposição, esperar ouvir o nosso pensamento desligar-se e ser ultrapassado por outros mundos, outras vivências, instantes felizes, paralelos ao nosso, com que podemos olhar o nosso próprio mundo e lembrar o nome do artista.

E às vezes essas mesmas formas de arte são como uma janela aberta para o mundo de agora, o hoje, o amanhã, ou para momentos passados, congelados intencionalmente para abrir a porta da nossa imaginação e escrevermos mentalmente a história, tal como a imaginamos. E se de outra forma pudessem ser descritas... Sê-lo-iam, para mim, como poesia visual..."

"Impressions

A window was slowly opening to a perfect square and the imagination felt free and dreams were worth because words weren't enough to explain to the mind that those were images, those weren't poems with words... We feel or see ourselves in an instant, or just as a tiny spot in the wilderness, or just outdoors. We feel that's a moment in time which make us want to imagine more. Sometimes the images seem simple as our own existence, in the vastness of all possibilities that the world allows to have, feel and imagine. Beyond our dreams and our realities, the memories we create around us are captured by the eyes of the photographer and artist allowing us to imagine a bit more, to write our own thoughts on what we are seeing.

The mind is allowed to wander through the everyday events, where the sea and earth touch and feel as one, and we expect to hear our thoughts and be overtaken by other worlds, other experiences, some great happy moments or just the silence...

And we look around to find the name of the artist.

And again we notice the mirrors onto the world now, today, tomorrow, or to past moments, frozen in time, to open the doors of our imagination... And if they could be described by me ... I would call them poetry."
