Hello Javier! Others have remarked about the simplicity of this image. Yes, it is a simplified arrangement, but the feelings it evokes for me are anything but simple. This image makes me feel tall. It allows me to clear my mind of all the detail that occupies my daily existence. It's almost as though the foreground trees are that detail, but this image allows me to rise above them -- to push the details out of the way in order to see beyond. And what do I see? I see a beautiful open space occupied by two objects: a sailboat and a buoy. It appears the sailboat has just passed the buoy, a marker of sorts in this open water. I read that you contemplated removing the buoy, but I'm glad you didn't. For me, the buoy enables the sailboat to reveal distance and movement. This image reminds me of the feeling I would get while paddling in my kayak. The open water in front of me was like a gift, a cherished space I could hardly wait to traverse, not because I was going anywhere, but because I was going nowhere.
Thanks for sharing your vision. ...Show more →
It is so gratifying to know that when I want with all my soul to express something and I fear not to get it, to discover that exist people and sensibilities able to guess and to "read" what I wanted to transmit. Only this is more than enough to motivate me, to help me to continue trying to transmit and to share the beauty.
Thanks a lot for your wonderful words.
