Who can contain all the exuberance of the giant and artist Goliath? Even if the bars are still around him, nothing can stop his power of creation and his strength that goes beyond the bars of any material.

(These pieces were created with two layers of digital photographs taken in the years 2013 and 2015.)

The Goliath Artist #37

The freedom of creation, the impulsiveness in sharing, the error taking shape and giving the chance of experimentation the desperate act of burning.

Feel free to burn, to save, to collect or to ignore the past error.

Portraits of a soul #27

If your head could come out of your body, where would you keep it? Who would you offer your ideas to? Your dreams? Your memories?
Maybe she was still swimming in an aquarium...
If so, what would you feed it?

Pickled head  

Do you smell the forest? In the stone jungle, the Amazonian seed sprouted, which developed and now blows new airs at the same time that the unbridled human destruction is offered as a shield. The Amazon breeze has the power to remind us of a natural paradise in constant destruction.

Versum

It took a lot of mystery to clear things up. After all, not everything that touches the ground also touches the stars. Just as not everything that touches the ground touches the air. Even so, the lightness with which the leaves expressed themselves seemed different this time. The swaying was synchronized and pertinent. The fall, now, was uphill. The test; the full certainty. There was no more physics, only philosophy. Not everything that falls, falls. Not everything that fails, fails. Failure is glory. And at this point everyone knew that.

Failure is glory

There are many dreams hidden in the middle of a cottonwood forest. This collection in honor of LGBTQIAP+ month brings together five photos by Ariel Gricio and five texts by Gali Garófalo, brazilian artists.

Finally his first guests arrived. They sat down at the table and thanked me for the invitation. They asked for cotton napkins and said they felt very honored to be able to contemplate the landscape. "We are sorry," they said. "We are a product of our own mind and for a moment we forget that we have control over it." I stopped eating and suggested a toast. Even though I knew there was much beyond that. I took a flower with thorns and blossomed like an onion before dinner. Everyone cried.

Marcianita understands that she is just another small rock among so many. It also vibrates, and there it is half Martianite and half rock.

Marcianita Stone

The expected Marcianita plummets from the heavens and wakes up on an unknown planet. Men of science can't explain it, but Marcianita can feel it.

The silence and hardness of the rocks are not what Marcianita seeks for her life, but she learns from the energy of the rock vibrations and understands that it is necessary to be part of it to stop being part of it.

Goddess, at your feet
The flower of my beliefs sprout
Divine and human, impure and holy
your sad eyes
your hair loose
your naked body
before my pagan insignificance

Glory to you, who bind the souls of men
that celebrates the sweet warm flesh
that you are beyond Form and Beauty!

1/1 - Ariel Gricio photos

This is a gift for the support and affection I received from many collectors and artists who became friends along this journey. This is a commemorative edition of 6 months of my first mint and also a celebration of the 2000 followers mark.

I am very grateful for all the learning and exchange with all of you.

About the piece:
This photograph was among the 30 selected works for the MERCOSUR 2021 Photography Contest and was made casually when I bought a laser printer and wanted to test its quality by printing portraits I had made. With the great result of the printing, I decided to create other portraits with them overlapping two faces, this is one of them.

I know you intend to go
and I won't ask you to stay
I just want you to remember
That if you turn your back on me
I still have your memory

The Night
At night dreams sleep?
The night is a child?
Does the night have sound? Noise?
Does the night have a smell?
Does it taste?
What is the texture of the night?
Who are you at night?

Does the mask reveal or hide you?

Mask Mafia

This work is part of the collection "My Darkroom", which brings some photographic records from the beginning of my photographic career.

About the collection:
A poet since birth, it was with camera in hand that I discovered it was possible to make poetry not only with words, but also with lights or the lack of them. Photography and I were accomplices in a life of discovery, enchantment, love, and poetry. These records bring stories, love, and art. They are photographs without any kind of production, made in the heat of the moment, unpretentiously, while I was learning about life, love, and the art of photography. They are honest images of a conflicted, intense, and poetic youth always made inside "my darkrooms".

Photography and I are accomplices of a life of experimentation, enchantment, love, and poetry. These photos portray a conflicted, intense, and poetic photographic youth, captured always inside some room where I lived for years, days, or just minutes.

Soul Dyeing - I

Soul Dyeing

While waiting in line for a concert, a homeless man stood in front of a car window. He positioned his mask to make it perfect and walked away.

I felt like photographing him, but thought that I might be invading his space and preferred not to think about it. A few minutes later he came towards me, hugged me and finally I asked for the picture. 

After the photo he returned with a flower as a form of thanks.

the pleasure

even if there is blood
even if there are tears
even though there is pain

there is freedom
