That is absolutely WILD that you mentioned pomegranates!! goodness gracious I don't know if you have already you need to watch Sergei parajanovs 1969 film The Color of Pomegranates (it's on yt). Not only is it stellar but it is really aesthetically similar to your work and guess what? You could see a little machete vasco, as one of the themes is young love being choked out through separation because the main character Sayat Nova leaves for a secluded monastery!!

I love The Color of Pomegranates! It's been one of my favorite films for years, it's so hypnotic, textured and visually rich, I always come back from it feeling nourished. If my work manages to remind you of it even in some minute way I'm beyond happy.

#I love you surrealism #I love you religious imagery #I love you donkeys and chickens and sheep #I love you poetry art history passion love violence and death #I love you evocative use of the color red #answered #phodicae #it's indeed on youtube at the moment! with subtitles (even though there's very little dialoque)

light is my heart since the day we were plighted; red is my cheek that they told me was blighted; the green of the trees looks far greener than ever, and the linnets are singing, true lovers don’t sever.

In one section of the canal path you walk with trees on both sides and with sunlight pouring between and through the leaves it made me think of the beginning of a favorite poem by Stephen Spender:

“I think continually of those who were truly great, / Who from the womb remembered the soul’s history / Through corridors of light where the hours are suns / Endless and singing.”

I felt like I was walking through a corridor of light, in time away from the world. I wish you could walk there.

made a colour palette challenge thing

feel free to reblog and use for yourself :]

#making colour palettes is so fun i could do this forever #graphic design is NOT fun though so if you look closely you will see that absolutely none of this is aligned properly and it’s uneven :) #coming up with names for the palettes is also fun cause i can just use words i like #self - individuation is poetry to me though #echeveria is colourpicked from a photo of my echeveria apus :] #colour palettes #colour palette challenge #color palette challenge #my art #i suppose? why not
