Vieni con me!
Devi affrettarti però -
sette lunghe miglia
io faccio ad ogni passo.
Dietro il bosco ed il colle
aspetta il mio cavallo rosso.

► Girel Oleg
These Minimalist portraits by artist Girel Oleg eliminate all but a few colors to tell their story. Each image (originally a photograph) was digitally remixed, removing layer upon layer of detail to leave just contour lines and patches of richly textured color. It’s a simple, yet effective effect.

Jean-Pierre Augier, 1950 | Metal Art sculptures
French sculptor Jean-Pierre Augier, was born in Nice, he lives and works in Saint-Antoine-de-Siga, between Levens and Saint-Blaise (Alpes-Maritimes, France). As a child, he created with various materials. From 1963, he got interested in disused old tools and learned how to weld them. From that time on, he would only shape iron and then exhibit at «La Maison du Portal» in Levens, in several other French regions, but also in Paris, New York, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. Old tools and iron pieces are an inspiration to Jean-Pierre Augier, who gathers and turns them into characters or animals on the move. His favourite themes are woman, couple, motherhood, fables and tales, mythology and religion. His works are recognized as having «four cardinal virtues»: grace, movement, tenderness and humour.

Bill Mack & Hermann Hesse | Tienimi per mano al tramonto..
Tienimi per mano al tramonto,
quando la luce del giorno si spegne e l’oscurità fa scivolare il suo drappo di stelle…
Tienila stretta quando non riesco a viverlo questo mondo imperfetto…
Tienimi per mano…
portami dove il tempo non esiste…
Tienila stretta nel difficile vivere.

► Paulo Coelho & Thor Lindeneg ~ Il gioco degli Dei...

Thor Lindeneg - Danish Surrealist painter
Gli Dei lanciano i dadi, ma non domandano se vogliamo partecipare al gioco.
Non vogliono sapere se hai lasciato un uomo, una casa, un lavoro, una carriera, un sogno.
Gli dei non badano al fatto che tu vuoi avere una vita in cui ogni cosa sia al proprio posto,
in cui ogni desiderio si possa esaudire con il lavoro e la pertinacia.
Gli dei non tengono conto dei nostri piani e delle nostre speranze.
In qualche luogo dell'universo, loro lanciano i dadi e, casualmente, vieni scelto tu.
Da quel momento in poi, vincere o perdere è solo questione di opportunità.
