Matthew Scherfenberg | Figurative photographer

Matthew Scherfenberg is an American photographer.

"Most of my work focuses on the human body, the form I think is most beautiful to human eyes.

Often I attempt to distill out all the identity and emotion and present only the aesthetic element. This is not meant to be sterile. I want to provoke. I want to stimulate. I want whatever the observer feels to come from inside themselves. I make art for the sake of art.

I do some commercial work, but mostly art for gallery shows".

Frode Nyboe, 1980 | Surrealist /Minimalist painter

Norwegian painter Frode Nybø, a full-time-painter, was born and live in Aalesund, Norway, a place where mountains, fjords and wheater gives inspiration. In recent years painting as a hobby has developed into a passion.

I`ve explored both oil and watercolor as medium - but these days I only use acrylics for my paintings. It suits my patience better. The natures colors, phenomena and lights are my resources for inspiration.

Ildiko Neer ~ Dreamland

Budapest-based photographer Ildiko Neer enjoys composing impressive natural environments retouched photos all together in the series called “Dreamland”. With beautiful colors, beautiful landscapes and enigmatic paths are discovered later in the article.

I started taking photos in 2009.

My pictures express the feelings and moods what I felt during my trips in the last few years. If I try to imagine myself, I see someone walking on the road straight to the light.

This kind of light the photography and the post-processing in my life.

In the dreamland that I create I feel myself at home.

I belong to the forest. I am under big trees, waiting for the miracle to begin.

I invite you to take a trip with me. Just relax and fly with your thoughts.

Thanks for visiting...

Claude Debussy / Paul Verlaine | Clair de Lune, 1869

Clair de Lune is a French poem written by Paul Verlaine in 1869.

It is the inspiration for the third and most famous movement of Debussy's 1890 Suite bergamasque of the same name.
The poem has also been set to music by Gabriel Fauré.

Your soul is a delicate landscape

Where roam charming masks and bergamasques

Playing the lute and dancing and seeming almost

Sad under their whimsical disguises.

While singing in minor mode

Of victorious love and easy life

They don't seem to believe in their happiness

And their song is mingling with the moonshine,

With the sad and beautiful moonshine,

Which makes the birds in the tree dream

And sob with ecstasy the water streams,

The great slim water streams among the marbles.

Vincenzo Cardarelli / Jimmy Lawlor | I gabbiani /Seagulls

Non so dove i gabbiani abbiano il nido,
ove trovino pace.
Io son come loro
in perpetuo volo.
La vita la sfioro
com'essi l'acqua ad acciuffare il cibo.
