We were just outside Piran, heading inland, when the clouds twisted into something unexpected.

A narrow funnel reached toward the earth — silent, suspended, uncertain...[con't in comments]

"Unforgiving"

~Messily Created by Hand ~

Melted gummies and candies, decorative icing, sparkle gels, digital photography, and post-processing
_____________

#art #BskyArt #artwork #AbstractArt #MixedMedia #ExperimentalArt #DigitalProcessing #ContemporaryArt #ConceptualArt #NoAI #LiveMessy
Abstract mixed-media artwork titled Unforgiving. The textured surface features vibrant, molten-looking patches in red, orange, yellow, and green—resembling scorched organic matter—scattered across a grayish slate-like background. Glossy icing lines in blue and white, along with sporadic droplets and smears, weave between the candy forms, creating a sense of movement and disruption. The materials used include melted gummies, decorating icing, sparkle gels, and digital enhancements. The composition evokes a feeling of chaos and emotional intensity, where the playful origin of the materials contrasts with their turbulent transformation.

The Japanese Friendship Garden | Balboa Park | San Diego, California.
_____________

#photography #digitalphotography #bskyphotography #fineartphotography #documentaryphotography #culture #documentary #naturephotography #nature #bonsai #garden #noai #SanDiego #California
A person, partially obscured by a large, intricately pruned bonsai tree, carefully tends to its branches in a lush outdoor garden. The bonsai, with its weathered trunk and dense, vibrant green foliage, stands in striking contrast to the gardener’s white hair and beige vest. The scene is surrounded by manicured shrubs and a curving brick pathway, evoking calm, focus, and the meditative art of bonsai cultivation—likely in a Japanese-style garden.

Black-and-white photograph of the historic Medical Arts Building in Rochester, New York. The 10-story Art Deco structure features strong vertical lines, geometric detailing, and decorative stonework near the top floors. Trees frame the base of the building, where retail signs are visible, and sunlight casts soft shadows across the elegant brick façade. Originally built for medical offices, the building now hosts a mix of luxury apartments, commercial, and retail spaces, contributing to the vibrant live-work-play atmosphere of the Alexander and Park neighborhood.

Mt. Kirkjufell | Snaefellsnes Peninsula | Grundarfjordur, Iceland
_____________

#photography #digitalphotography #bskyphotography #landscapephotography #landscape #naturephotography #nature #travelphotography #travel #fineartphotography #fineart #fog #noai #Iceland #Nordic
Kirkjufell, Iceland’s iconic 463-meter-high mountain, rises steeply from the edge of a serene fjord on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. In this photo, a soft layer of low-lying fog wraps around the base of the mountain like a silken belt, while its sharp peak pierces a sky of scattered clouds and brilliant blue. The calm water reflects the morning light, and in the foreground, a handful of Icelandic horses graze peacefully on a lush green field speckled with yellow wildflowers. Faint fence posts and a small stream add texture to the pastoral scene. Often dubbed the most photographed mountain in Iceland, Kirkjufell stands here in full majestic quietude—part nature, part myth.

_____________

#bskyphotography #BskyArt #art #photography #surreal #surrealism #surrealart #abstractart #SciFi #fantasy #digitalabstraction #biomechanicalaesthetic #digitalart #noai
A vivid digital abstract composition resembling an otherworldly flower in bloom, set against a textured, speckled background of rust orange and deep blue. The central form features fluid, petal-like shapes in electric hues of cobalt blue, magenta, fiery orange, and violet, with swirling gradients and smooth transitions that evoke motion. The shape appears suspended mid-bloom, with sweeping tendrils and folds that create a sense of energy and transformation. The piece invites interpretations—organic yet alien, floral yet fantastical.

A black-and-white photograph of an abandoned two-story wooden house, surrounded by overgrown vegetation and backed by dense trees. The house's exterior is weathered, with peeling paint and broken windows—one on the second floor is shattered. The sagging front porch is partially collapsed, with debris including a rusted metal cabinet and warped wooden boards leaning against it. The foreground features an unkempt grassy yard, contrasting with the eerie decay of the house. The composition and monochrome palette evoke a haunting, gothic atmosphere, blending elements of rural decay, forgotten history, and subtle horror.

Looking through a Screen Door.
_____________

"Photographs alter and enlarge our notions of what is worth looking at and what we have a right to observe."

- Susan Sontag

#photography #digitalphotography #bskyphotography #macro #macrophotography #closeup #abstractphotography #minimalism
A macro photograph of a screen door captures the intricate, interwoven metallic mesh against a blurred, warm reddish-brown background. The shallow depth of field highlights the reflective metal strands, revealing subtle distortions and irregularities in their woven pattern. The close-up perspective transforms the everyday object into an abstract composition, emphasizing texture, geometry, and light.

_____________

#bskyphotography #BskyArt #art #photography #surreal #surrealism #surrealart #abstract #abstractart #digitalabstraction #biomechanicalaesthetic #digitalart #noai
A surreal, digitally manipulated artwork featuring an otherworldly bloom against a swirling, textured blue background. The flower-like form consists of a deep red, glossy petal structure resembling lips, a metallic gold and black folded element that suggests an unfolding mechanism, and a smaller crimson extension resembling a stamen or tendril. The fluid, warped textures in the background give the impression of movement, as if the entire scene is caught in a gravitational distortion or underwater current. The piece blurs the boundaries between organic and artificial, evoking an alien life form or a biomechanical entity.

#art #artwork #abstract #abstractart #abstractminimalism #symbolicabstraction #constructivism #analog #analogart #foodart #BskyArt #contemporaryart #modernart
A black and white abstract painting featuring bold, irregular white brushstrokes on a deep black background. The composition is divided into two distinct sections: the upper portion consists of scattered, fragmented marks resembling symbols or deconstructed letters, while the lower portion forms a more structured, repeating pattern with geometric shapes suggestive of interconnected figures or mechanical components. The juxtaposition between chaos and order evokes themes of construction, language, and hidden systems within randomness.
