Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #181 'Above Us'
'Above Us'
Space is the final frontier which apparently has no limits, except the limits imposed by our imagination. On the other hand, we very well know that there is no such thing as limitless space or limitless anything for that matter. Everything ends somewhere. Maybe some things are out of human reach of understanding and therefore may be labelled as "endless" but I honestly believe there is no such thing. It all revolves around perspectives from which we observe things and processes. Still, maybe everything revolves and comes back to its beginning, so it can start revolving again. This motion may then be endless. Maybe time is circular just as well. Or maybe all this is only a feeble attempt from a weak human mind to comprehend things it was never built to understand. But here we are, thinking and existing. Isn't that grand? :)
I found this simple but quite interesting artwork drawn on a wall and photographed a portion of it that I like the most. It is undoubtedly several years old. Moss is steadily growing over it. I cannot deny that it is enriching the overall feel. The photo is depicting mountains in some kind of red fog under a starry dark sky. The huge moon is the lightest object and therefore deserving the most of our attention. What I especially like is all the holes and cracks in the wall. They add very much to the feeling of being in some place where the huge starry night sky above us becomes really close.
The green of the moss is nicely complementing the red. Not enough to take the advantage but enough to create very acceptable colour space. It does a similar thing which the dark sky is doing for the bright moon in the tonality scale. These two ratios are the dominant ones for defining the space in this otherwise almost two-dimensional work. That green moss does the most of the trick, I believe.
Did you notice the shooting stars and the bright one on the right side?
And a face in the moon?
Enjoy! :)

It's a great artwork! -A mixture of realism and an abstract painting. I don't know really what it's called but it's sort of bending the reality, playing with your imagination.
yeah a big thumbs up @hiroyamagishi
I'm personally thinking that there os existence to "endless" things- the universe and time for example. You pointed the idea of the "circle" which is somthing we can comperhend and it can help us accept the concept of endless things, even if it's not really endless, yet - we get some feeling, if not logic, about the notion of endlessness.
Yeah - that sound irrational - but so quantum theory, and yet so far this theory is proved correct even though it's against human logic - how can an integer equal to 0 and 1 in the same time?! Yet it's possible and there are computers in early development stage implementing that logic.
So we can't fully understand it- we can just try to touch the idea with our mind- get some hold of it. just like in this lovely, somewhat abstract, photo - the mountains are in a red fog, just like our minds are fogged from reaching the comprehension of the meaning of endless, but we can see one mountain tops reaching out of the fog and partially and gently touching the far unreachable moon - just like sometimes, having the right metaphors and after drop thought, we sometimes manage to get a peep into the meaning of abstract and unreachable concepts.
My mind cannot comprehend how space and time work. If I try to think about it I get overwhelmed. Never the less, It is always an enjoyable topic for discussion. My favorite part of the picture is also the choice of green moss and the way the bright parts of the moon are depicted.
I do believe imagination is that power trait of human being which take them beyond the boundaries. It happens with me when i Read Poetry Books.
Lets talk about today's Art 'Above Us'
Well the whole is a depiction of Horrible Situation of Death, That red color is blood all over and those hills are basically witches who are staring at miserable ME who is going to die soon. But look at that Moon which is protecting me through Divine Power; Oh the blessings of Lord are with me. No Harm to die now because the Creator this Universe is now with me at this horrible time.
I can die in Peace now ;)
P.S: This is my fictitious understanding about this ART. Hope so you like it
Stay Blessed and Steem On!
when I read your description, it is sometimes difficult for me to find words that could be added to it :) Nevertheless, all the things we used to discuss and build around them were invented by other people. The very concept of infinity and the universe, too, someone discovered or invented. There are crazy theories that we live in the digital world (which by the way are proved by many scientists) and these are really interesting topics for reflection.
I immediately did not understand that this photo is made from a picture on the wall, it looks absolutely. The moon attracts all attention, and the holes in the wall are like craters. The moss creates a pleasant green shade and complements the red color, although it seems to me that the red color strongly dominates.
Thank you:)
Artwork on a wall? Almost unbelievable to me.
The moss actually looks like maybe the artist planned it that way. There is a sort of an aura near the moon like maybe it's a comet...
It's really an extraordinary piece of art that has been captured by you in an extraordinary way. I keep going back and back to the texture on the moon.
Thanks for another thought provoking piece.
There are two possibilities: Either the universe has an end and a certain size or the universe has no end and extends forever. Both possibilities are mind-boggling.
If the universe has an end, we need to know how wide it is, measure its size, or know where its limits are.
But if the universe has no end, all previous beliefs and ideas are wrong. The space or universe extends and extends forever in all directions.
As for the painting is wonderful and expressive
Beautiful art!
Interesting approach to photographing street art. As a graffiti artists I am used to taking a photo of the entire piece, but cropping small sections can sometimes reveal an entirely different feeling. Never really thought about that conceptually until I saw this. Thanks for opening a door :D
Wow, wow, wow! The photograph pushed me back in my seat as if a wind came blowing out of it! Amazing! It hit me right upon my chest! There is such an energy in it! Great! Thank you for uploading and have a great time! Enjoy your life! Rolf
