of Love and other natural disasters

Surrender as I surrendered.  Dive into what you don't know the way I dived. Don't try to understand. Living exceeds any understanding.

To understand is always limited. But not to understand has no boundaries. I feel I am much more complete when I don't understand.

Why it is the dog is so free? Because it is the living mystery

that doesn't inquire itself.

to Angela, architect & sculptor

quotes by Clarice Lispector

fantastic! I like the Anatomy of Love from clay to soul! Good Light and composition, Eduardo!

She has amazing hands..... and you photographed her work so beautifully it makes me want to touch it and feel it's texture. I love the rich colours and textures of the clay in the second set. Perfect lighting. Thank you for this. It stirs up something inside of me that one should never let settle. :)

Chilla said at 5:33 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
Beautiful and artistic, both the sculptor and your tabblo

¡¡¡Apenas las vi supe que eran de Ângela!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡Felicitaciones para ella!!!!!!!!!! Muy simbólicas las primeras (atravesadas por una "flecha de Cupido" muy especial...) y las últimass (trozos, soledades...). ¡Y las tomas de las manos creando! Aunque dudé que fuera Ângela, ahí, me imaginaba manos diferentes... ¡¡"Parabéns" a los dos!! A los tres, también a Clarice (aunque en inglés, buh...).
Liliana said at 6:02 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
¿El título es por la novela de García Márquez, "Del amor y otros demonios"...?
Hhwind said at 6:11 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
The lumps of clay in the hand of an artist becomes works of art, I can see the dexterity of the hands that shape the sculpture, great shots
Liliana said at 7:37 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
¿Eduardo, sólo esculpe mujeres...?
Charlespop said at 8:50 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
Love it !

Thank you all - GILSON, DEN, ALI, AKE, MIRELLA, CELIA, LILIANA, TEO & CHARLES - for your inspired (and inspiring) comments.

DAR: I bet this "one" who should never let settle certain things inside of you is nobody but yourself...

MIRELL: Sometime we must just feel and enjoy, instead of trying to understand. Nothing is so challenging as a theorem; nothing is so boring as a demonstrated theorem.

LILIANA: Não conte para ninguém, mas as mãos estavam destruindo, não criando... Quanto à Clarice em Inglês, já me redimi e fiz uma versão com as citações no original. O título é, sim, uma referência ao livro do García Márquez, mas descobri que existe também um livro com esse título (minha originalidade, ao contrário da minha ignorância, tem limites). A Angela me disse que, por enquanto, só teve aulas de modelo vivo feminino. Aguarde torsos masculinos em breve.

THEO: She is a great artist, indeed.

i was going to try and write somethin' "inspiring" but I'll just say (like Charlespop) LOVE IT! I love nude female sculptures, these are so delicate, sensual.. feminine, you picked the perfect angles and light, the hands series is powerful, and the text... inspiring to say the least (I especially like "don't try to understand - living exceeds any understanding") another favorite.
Clydo said at 9:47 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
Eduardo, this is beautiful art! your photography has enhanced the beauty of the scuptures and your slow shutter speed portrays the movement of the sculpor's hands very well. Both of you are wonderful artists!
Liliana said at 10:03 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
¿Quién será el modelo masculino? Rs, rs...
WEIMAR said at 10:14 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
look at the Português...:-)
Liliana said at 11:42 a.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
O.K., top secret!!!!
Swedfinn said at 12:24 p.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
Artists are true illusionists!! I love it, too
Liliana said at 2:10 p.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
Aunque destruir es, también, crear...¿no? A veces.
Gerardfotografeert said at 5:12 p.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
Very great art, the sculpturist and the photos of this tabblo. Thank you for sharing it. wel done.
Eduardo.affonso said at 6:29 p.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
ANNELIES: Don't ask me why I chose these quotes - they just came to my mind while I was uploading these images. If you have a chance, try to find some of the many books writen by Clarice Lispector. You'll find them.. inspiring, to say the least.

CLYDO & GERARD: Angela is the true artist, I simply portraited her work, adding some drama to it. It was an exercise of using natural and artificial lighting.

LILIANA: Não tenho idéia de quem será o modelo. Só espero que a Angela não se entusiasme muito com ele e faça torsos impublicáveis. Se destruir tb é uma forma de criar, criar pode ser uma forma de destruir? Ah, a dialética...

JORMA: That's so true. We are always trying to create illusions - and believing they might be real.
Clydo said at 7:31 p.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
Your lighting is excellent Eduardo!
Liliana said at 7:46 p.m. on Nov 2, 2008:
Nao nao nao... cuando destruís, creás algo nuevo , diferente (destruido, valga la redundancia). Cuando creás... tal vez, sí, ahora que lo pienso, destruís la nada, el vacío, la materia en sí. ¿No? Qué sé yo, son cosas que a uno le paan por la mente sin elaborar mucho...
Debdog said at 12:34 a.m. on Nov 3, 2008:
the light on the torso from slightly below...wow and the textures great dof on 4,5
Abking said at 12:36 a.m. on Nov 3, 2008:
This is so full of texture and light and beauty of the body. It's a delight to see the sculptor's hands at work.
Nina1960 said at 4:44 a.m. on Nov 3, 2008:
Yes, your pictures are beautiful..the light, the hands,the body.. etc...First,my eye goes to the text DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND..what can I say..for me a favo...thanks, to let me think:)
Shenresi said at 8:17 a.m. on Nov 3, 2008:

Sirnicolay said at 2:38 a.m. on Nov 5, 2008:
Outstanding, Edu. I just love how you put the "making" of the clay statue as well. :)
MichelleMc said at 3:21 p.m. on Nov 6, 2008:

Welshchick said at 6:28 p.m. on Nov 7, 2008:
Makes much sense to me...I do not understand...I do not have to... it is beautiful.
