Robert Mapplethorpe Photography

2011-11-06T18:41:00.000-08:00

Robert Mapplethorpe was known from the erotic and sometimes pornographic photographs, during the decades of 70 and 80, and by his bizarre life. The genius American photographer, a photographer-symbol of underground art scene, regarded as one of the most important and provocative photographers of his time.

Mapplethorpe took photos of celebrities of avant-garde and bourgeois life, but also anonymous and porn stars. His themes are bold, with images of violence and sadomasochism, and at the same time, full of emotion and expressiveness. I think his work is an ode to perfection and beauty of the human body and of the nature, without a try of beautifying.

Totally honest. So powerful. So inspirational.

Art by Pamela Enriquez

I adore the Mexican artist Pamela Enriquez, her paintings are done on wood and I find them gorgeous.

I find more inspirational her skeleton paintings. As she mentions on her website

"El Dia de Los Muertos is a theme that I often use in my art. The Day of the Dead is an ancient celebration that has a universal theme, To Remember. My muertos characters are always laughing. They have returned back to earth for a brief time to be with their loved ones. They put on fancy clothes. They love and they laugh. They often come back with their beloved pets to share the world with the living, if only for a few days. "

Enjoy some of them below!

Pin Up Girls - Before&After

I love pin-up girls. And I love also pin-up artists. I really appreciate their work, which is as realistic as it needs to be and full of great details.

Women who posed for pictures and artists who got the inspiration and edited these photographs using only pencils and paintbrushes, made the famous pin-up girls occupying a unique position in pop culture.

Enjoy !!

Style Never Ages

I think we don't have to fear to grow and all we need is to have confident , just like these women, to highlight our personal style.
Watch this video here: Advanced Style: Age and Beauty
I find it very inspirational!

R(evol)ution

2011-07-04T17:07:00.000-07:00

The seed of revolution is repression.

Woodrow Wilson

The most heroic word in all languages is revolution.
Eugene V. Debs

Every generation needs a new revolution.

To love without role, without power plays, is revolution.

Rita Mae Brown

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

I promote revolution against the Capitalists and the Social Marxists.

Tom Metzger

The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

Whoever finishes a revolution only halfway, digs his own grave.

Georg Buchner

A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
