Ana Filipa Monteiro

I’m so proud to share with you the photographic talents of our friend! Momentus is her first photographic exhibition, where we can feel her profound sensitivity and unique expression of tenderness. You can still visit the exhibition until the 28^th of March, next Thursday in the Cultural Center of Carnide, in Lisbon and you'll find more information in here. We encourage you to enjoy and support Portuguese emergent artists and once again, congratulations for your beautiful show!!

Be like water

Silver Blue series

by Francisca Ribeiro

I saw recently the biographic movie of Bruce Lee's life and it made me realize how great was his contribution to the enlightenment of the human spirit, bringing us closer together, braking barriers unifying our human family. To the artist of life, the Dragon, remembering his famous words of wisdom:

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”

* Bruce Lee *

Escaping everyday life, part 1

 

Sometimes we all need to escape the day to day routine, and if your friends invite you to spend the weekend by the sea, you know it's the moment to escape.

And a dream was born

Silver Blue series

by Francisca Ribeiro

As I was finishing this image, while swimming in my own dreams, one of the most beautiful and inspiring strophes came to my mind and how liberating it would be if we could always remember these words marked on our soul:

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

from Auguries of Innocence * William Blake

La suma

"Ante la cal de una pared que nada
nos veda imaginar como infinita
un hombre se ha sentado y premedita
trazar con rigurosa pincelada
en la blanca pared el mundo entero:
puertas, balanzas, tártaros, jacintos,
ángeles, bibliotecas, laberintos,
anclas, Uxmal, el infinito, el cero.
Puebla de formas la pared. La suerte,
que de curiosos dones no es avara,
le permite dar fin a su porfía.
En el preciso instante de la muerte
descubre que esa vasta algarabía
de líneas es la imagen de su cara."

La suma, de Jorge Luis Borges

To my father, born on the day of all women, happy birthday to heaven and may all days be special, it doesn't matter what is the excuse, may all days be extraordinary, to all of us, now, on Earth.

Heaven and Hell

Dance the limbo between heaven and hell, they both exist within you.

Beach Farm

Video by João Brilhante

In the begging of the summer'11 we had Filipa and João company for some sunny days and that afternoon my brother stop by with a couple of air pressure guns and we had some real western fun!! While our shooting session João filmed and as gift to Beach Farm edited the funniest Tarantino like video with two very bad girls ;) We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and thank you both for the Beach Farm video and for these sweet summer days*
