Australian photographer Bill Gekas creates detailed settings based off of Renaissance and classical paintings.
With the help of his daughter, he photographs them as modern portraits with a distinct antiquated feel. She makes the perfect model, no?

A few months back, we featured artist Angelica Dass’ refreshing project, Humanae, who was recording and matching human skin tones to Pantone’s color system, challenging (and debunking) the idea of what the color “flesh” is.
Well designers, artists, architects and color connoisseurs rejoice — another Pantone-inspired project has caught our attention, this one by the global authority itself! The Pantone Hotel in Brussels, Belgium was designed by architect Olivier Hannaert, while the colorful and flashy decor was by interior designer Michel Penneman. Each floor was decorated using different color palettes, and the hotel features some great colorful details. Delightful!via Bless This Stuff
Existen cosas, lugares en la mente de cada uno. Pensamos nunca van a existir a través de los ojos. Solo se trata de voltear y caminar ese camino adecuado, el que llega ahí.

“En todo caso había un solo túnel, oscuro y solitario, el mio, el túnel en que había transcurrido mi infancia, mi juventud, toda mi vida. Y en uno de esos trozos transparentes del muro de piedra yo había visto a esta muchacha y había creído ingenuamente que venia por otro túnel paralelo al mio, cuando en realidad pertenecía al ancho mundo, al mundo sin limite de los que no viven en túneles; y quizá se había acercado por curiosidad a una de mis extrañas ventanas y había entrevisto el espectáculo de mi insalvable soledad, o le había intrigado el lenguaje mudo, la clave de mi cuadro. Y entonces, mientras yo avanzaba siempre por mi pasadizo, ella vivía afuera su vida normal, la vida agitada que llevan esas gentes que viven afuera, esa vida curiosa y absurda en que hay bailes y fiestas y alegría y frivolidad.”
Ernesto Sábato, El Túnel.
