Friday…..

its friday 6pm on the dot everybody seems to leave their workstations and started to gather at the big conference room… i havent finished yet my facade study and canopy design.. hmmm why not its friday.. its month end.. drop everything i smell wine… such a fun month-end if it was top op with a relaxing wine and cheese in this case wine , sausages and chips with all you colleagues talking everything not work related and looking forward for  something exciting next weekend.

the 11th Hour was shown for some discussion about sustainable design.. hmmm.. its quite heavy for me to digest fully. i should read more about that soon.. very soon. some speakers on that docu film says something that really makes me understand how human affects environment. and how we raped it.

i sounds like a greenpeace advocate.. but they are right..

Meaningless…thoughtless…

got a pen… i doodled and  scribbled my thoughts and some unexplained feeling unleashed…

….yeah still i cant decipher what i actually mean in what ive written… its just a plain ordinary free verse and nothing else…

Architecture page shut down…

The Architecture Page of this blog will be shut down for some personal reason. The author decided to narrow down its blogging to photography, painting, some ramblings and travel..

Thank You Very Much…

aaarrrgghh….

it is so frustrating that i cant find my creative juice flowing… its like my body have just stop producing it.. or maybe i didn’t have it actually and i only have this sheer imagination that i possess it. theres a lot of other factors aside from my theory that i don’t have it.. albeit its only relative to my mood.

i hate having deadlines and beating a date when doing something artistic just kills the flow of good creative juice.. cmon i mean how can you force to have that artistic sense when you are pressured..

Architecturally maybe having that time factor affects the design outcome.. mostly for me in a good way.. less procrastination less redundant design scheme.. and getting a much more solid unique design scheme. NO… NO.. synthesizing..

Painting is another.. and thats the problem.. i cant get a better subject and a painting scheme. just by looking at my frame… i already know that if i started to apply colors into it.. ill be just wasting that frame coz i wont like it.. and i know thats not what i want to achieve..

its so photographic now… seeing some deep thought or maybe cerebral photos. cerebral in the sense that it uses the brain to produce this uber cool portraits. im so into it and loving each and every detail that has been captured in those portraits. or maybe its just that im so disturbed and overfed by those

one shitty potraits.. two fuckn’ snapshot.. three fake eyes… four et al…

What a Crop!!!

Fashion Sense in Photography… where do we draw the line?..

this one is amputated slash cut off slash bad cropping… hmm… like it who cares..

a lot of” so called photography gurus” are making fuss about bad cropping be it intentional or not. i guess its all about preference but i do respect there concerns and points its all well taken care of.. i note it down on my photography dedicated brain cache.

i love photography so much. i dig fashion and portraiture more than anything else.

heres another processed picture of the same series..

i love this Model… shes one of the best i have tried to work with. shes a photographic landmine. she had all the best poses and emotions i need in my collection. Hannah from Sweden

My Entry for UOB Painting of the Year 2007

This was entitled:

“TRADERS OF TEMASEK”

The Painting depicts the early trading period in the island of Temasek, emporium of the Srivijaya Empire, a trading route that integrates Southeast Asia to a larger trade on China’s Silk Road, connecting Asia and Europe.

The center figure was a galley slave, their sheer strength are the priceless investment of the traders. The early traders with their galley slaves traverse the archipelagic Srivijaya Empire, trading crops, handcrafts, livestock, gemstones, and gold. On the backdrop are vast oceans separating the empire. The watercraft with different colorful sails represents the different cultures of the inhabitant of the empire contributing to the diverseness of the village. As they trade goods they also traded culture, thus it deepens the fusion of different cultures on the village of Temasek. The Sun on cerulean sky symbolizes the scorching heat of the east that warms the land and heart of its people.

On the painting is a Temasek lady hugged by flowing red headscarf and green fabric symbolizes the fertile spirit of a Temasek villager that links the culturally rich Europe and the Middle East (Red Headscarf), and equally diverse Southeast Asia (Green Fabric). In her the Silk Road was outspread from Europe-India-China to Southeast Asia.

It doesn’t reach the Finals though…

Sad… Very Sad.. im Very Sad for Singapores ART scene..

or maybe i could Give this to Any Singapore Minister… hmmm or maybe the PM itself.. coz i actually paint this to suit local taste because UOB is Singapore.. i should have painted other murals like.. “Reign of Rajah Matanda”. or Maybe put a new title for this.. maybe.. “Karagador” or “Indios” anything that spells Philippines..

of course these are my Ramblings.. yeah..

Paolo Roversi the man…

i love his work… this guy takes picture with the full emotion of his subjects intact. The subjects are very simple, they are simple in being bare and being sooo natural “au naturel” thats like it. i think its taken using film. the texture the grittiness the color simply screams art.. ART..

ART….

i love to look at it. it simply exudes some feeling that connects yourself to the actual set where these images where taken…

can you see the nude image on my Web Hits… follow that link to browse his works or alternatively click here
