At the 29-year-old Brazilian artist Herbert Baglione special attitude to creativity. He specializes in street art, but these are not always street drawings, but also a variety of installations. So, one of the last works of Herbert, not as famous as his graffiti, but still original and peculiar, was presented in the city of Niort, France, at the Winterlong Gallerie. The installation is called in a very philosophical way: Ashes of our time, but instead of ash, the author uses autumn leaves, and in large quantities. So, the tiny silhouette of a man leaning against the wall - and his huge shadow of a thousand fallen leaves - that's what this installation is all about.
It is curious that the author did not bother himself with explanations for the work. Say, guess for yourself what I wanted to say and show, and I will stand on the sidelines and observe. A tricky move, however! After all, it is generally known that usually people see in the works of artists what they want to see, so why impose on the contemplators something that is alien to them, if they themselves can do an excellent job?
And who knows, whether this huge shadow of fallen leaves symbolizes the scale of loneliness, or once again hints that even the smallest man can have a gigantic potential and a great future … One thing pleases: no matter how many answers are found, among them there will be no wrong.

Eye to eye: a photography project from Rankin
The importance and expressiveness of the human gaze has always been highly appreciated: a person's face can be absolutely impenetrable, but once you look into his eyes, everything becomes clear. But how often, meeting someone's gaze, do we pay attention not to the feelings conveyed to them, but to the beauty of the eye itself? Unlikely. But there is something to see. Perhaps such a familiar expression as “look someone in the eye” will take on a completely new meaning for you after watching the work of the photographer Ranki
Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy: Stronger than passion, more than love
It seems that their meeting was predetermined by fate. And they met in 1953 so that each of them would find himself thanks to another person.
