The Amazon Hyleia, as defined by Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1659).
Photo of a lake on the banks of the Rio Negro taken in 1991.
This image will appear in my exhibition ‘MINHA PITTORESCA AMAZÔNIA’ at the UFOP Arts and Convention Center in Tiradentes, MG, from March 7-11, 2024.
P.S.: TIP – this image can be (much) better appreciated in its entirety in full screen and horizontally.
I have a true adoration for Japanese art paintings because of their beauty and delicacy.
Every year, in the spring, when the first rains occur and the trees sprout again, I try to take photographs of this vegetation because, in my eyes, many of these trees – in the images that remain in my eyes and mind – bear a great resemblance to the paintings of Japanese art.
This photo that I show today is one of the (many) attempts that I have made and that, in my eyes and mind, highlights some similarity with the paintings of Japanese art.
Hope you like it!
