Galatea

while.. matter waves.. invade empty spaces..
milions of things... thousands of thoughts..
order and caos!

in you..
all begins.. and all finds an end..


...........

Galatea.. is my modest homage to S.Dalì..
Galatea of the spheres.. was an authentic dedication of love to his wife
representation of Gala Dalì, there.. by the expanded spheres symbolises his love.. great and intense like the universe..
in this masterpeace of Dalì.. i really like the sacred way to look at her.. as to represent an eternal feminine..

here.. my revisitation.. try to have a more quantum interpretation
as it was a physics vision.. of the bigbang..
inside the origin of the universe and its apparent caos (also our life)
there is something ... able to give harmony and grace..
and without doubts... for me.. it’s Love.. the answer..
;))

Steven Wilson (Porcupine tree).. my mood..


of course it’s an artwork.. really strong post processed!
There are more or two hundred of “copy and past” details!..
here the original base shot!
.
comments and critics are welcome
as always.. many thanks

Interesting work dear Marco.I like it.Well done.
Ciao!
A.

Well Marco, I'm not always a big fan of heavy postprocessing, but I think you did a brilliant job here. Excellent balance between the external chaos and the peace of mind of your model. Your postprocessing not only looks flawless to me, I also think it is functional and, thus, 100% effective. Lovely colour combinations as well.
Thanks for also showing the initial photo, which already was a good one by the way...
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Ciao Marco,
Questo è un'altro capolavoro...Masterpiece! Per quanto hard è stato il tuo postprocessare, alquanto fluido e leggero è il risultato.
Non trovo le parole giuste...
Complimenti,

ciao Marco,

Art and beyond beauty.. globes, spheres, some of them matches the color of her eyes, thousands of thoughts, moods and colors intercepting wildly and molding together again in a harmonious charming way..like the way of Life...effective, and sacred certainly.. you presented your thoughts in an extreme so attractive Artwork... her eyes, the glance and the lips says it out loud: this is really a strong POst! and I fully agree..

all my compliments and kind regards Marco

Hi Marco,
Impressive and glorious hymn at the Beauty! This is a very creative and artistic work!
And a effective revisatation of the work of Dali.
However, the colors seems a bit flat and I don't find, on this image, the light you give generally at your photos!
I propose so humbly a WS. Your original version would make better.
Overall, you have all my respect and admiration for your work! Thank you!
My compliments! Annie

hi Scott,
everything even the bigbang are simply in our imaginations,
in my feeling, both physical and mathematical imaginations are simply continuing our imaginations in common life.
then, what about our artistic imaginations?
in my feeling, those are now free and chaotic, there are everything possible and no exemplary criterions. it is good and bad, it is not good and not bad, indeed.
anyway, in this Dali-ish sur-space, only her image is clear and vivid,
maybe all are simple frame, mere circumstance and tasteful decoration for her, for her image in you.
a shining memory can be remained after the end of this universe???...
if the end of the cosmos time that we imagine now is simply in our imaginations, I can imagine after it and before it tomorrow.
thank you for your excellent image work,
Akihisa

hi Marco,

it's so obvious you love your 'Galatea'.. beautiful work you done here.. must spend long hours doing this.. one of your best work i think.. i like her beautiful eyes looking at you.. well taken of the simple shot and turn it into masterpiece.. good one..

regards, terry

Gorgeous Art picture you've created here.

Ciao Marco! Beautiful Galatea! Amazing portrait. Wonderful creation. Excellent art work. Fantastic effect, cosmic effect. Good luck!

Ciao Marco, il soggetto è decisamente migliorato rispetto alla tua ultima, poi ti seiesibito in una sfreenata fantasia da post produzione, Salvador Dalì non avrebbe saputo far di meglio, bravissimo, buon week end, ciao Silvio

Hi Marco, absolutely a very, very great work. Excellently presented.
Regards Rose

Love this Marco - you are getting quite adventurous with your ps work. Nice homage to one of my fave painters. Great portrait!
This goes beyond post-processing: it is digital art and as far as photography goes, in a category on its own. Anybody can click a picture with todays technology in foolproof digital cameras, but such pp work takes skill beyond just pushing a few buttons in a pre-set program, and thats what distinguishes it!
Here is a link to my favorite award-winning photographer and friend Dominic Rouse - someone who had perfected this art!
Cheers

Hi Marco. Ciao
Beautiful portrait and ppwork,
I like your style and nice scene with great colors and sharpness, lovely presented and composed,
very well done. My complimenti,
Michel

Marco, a GREAT attempt at post modernism art as homage to Salvador Dali. Thank you for trying to describe why and what you did to this photograph and it's meaning to you. It could mean so many different things to others that view it, as is my interpretation. But those are only personal interpretations, possibly not what you intended. All that said and done this photograph deserves at least a five-foot by four-foot print space in a gallery. Wonderful image!!!

JoeGoff, Louisville, KY

Marco,

What a great imagination you have as an artist as well as photographer. The two blend very nicely in this composition. Your model is beautiful and the spheres are very reminiscent of Dali. I appreciate the time you have taken to do all of the cut and paste in the shot. Creative and unique work.

ciao, Lisa

Ciao Marco,

quando guardo questa foto vedo il universo in cui il tempo, la gente, questo mondo non esistono. La unica cosa che esiste dentro la mente di questo universo è...l'amore. Universo del amore = la infinità della nostra anima.

Caro Marco, l'unica cosa che posso dire in questo momento è...splendida foto...niente da dire...splendida!

Un grande abbraccio,
