DivineLight_Marina Carretero

Researching and taking some info for my project,I found this picture I took in a roadtrip to the Alps in France. It is the sun seen through the cloudy sky. It is an image to think again about the past, long time ago when people saw the light as a God, as a Religion, and as a base of inspiration.
When I see this kind of light, I think about similar things. I dont see the light as a religion, but this kind of "off days" with some kind of sun through let me think about everything, this light make reflection spaces. More than a relaxing atmosphere, it creates an atmosphere of thinking.
Now, the decission is made. This is a great inspiration image, that I would like to share.

BOUNDARIES BETWEEN NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL...

CandelLight01_Marina Carretero.

Today is time to reflect about ancient times. Those where anybody knew anything about light. The only thing that mattered was the issue about lighting an specific space. they started by the fire, and after that torches and candels where invented.
Today, we see it in a totally different way. Now we use the fire to warm up a certain room, and the torches as a decorative object.
Candels are not used anymore as a lighting source but a "atmosphere-creator". Candels emmits a warm light that makes the spaces cozzy and homelike. Candels relax us, and in here we have a prove that depending on the type of light that we use, we feel one or another way. Sitting near a candel to read, having a bath and light some candels... Those are intimacy moments in which we think about relaxing, and therefore about warmlight.
Nowadays candels has other effect appart from lighting that is smell. Such a simple object as a candle, can change totally the atmosphere which we inhabit.

It is amazing to see how sun is capable to light all the objects, and how without it the whole word becomes nothing This nature phenomena is capable to give and remove all that we have.
According to light, the sun is the light source that more colors have, and that is why it has the maximun color rendering index (100). It white light can be decomposed in all the primary colors and its mixes. Depending on the object and direction that it cross we can perceive one or several colors.

In this picture we can see how the sun light crosses a wall and how the white light we have seen before, is decomposed in several colors, such as green, cian, yellow or magenta.

This is the direct sunlight that we can appreciate today.
