Between Life and Death - Fábio Magalhães

Found this article on the Brazilian painter Fábio Magalhães' hyperealistic oil paintings from his collection called Between Life and Death; I think they are very beautiful. I'll put just a couple of his works here but all of them can be found in the article that I've linked along with an interview.

"When I use my imagination to create what we could call metaphors of a body-image, I believe it deals with strategies that I use to bring the private universe and common sense closer to human nature. As I present these images in the painting format, I intend to draw attention to the actions, often incomprehensible, that man has been facing in various parts of the world, whether they are close, distant or in a virtual state."

Brazilian artist Fábio Magalhães talking contemporary issues of humanity and his hyperrealist oil paintings in conversation with Maria Abram

be busy. busy not checking messages. busy reading those books you never started or finished. busy having a good night of sleep. busy taking care of yourself and your skin. busy moving your body. busy helping your community. busy reflecting on your life and what you can improve. busy doing things aside from the capitalistic viewpoint of “productivity.” busy slowing down.

Congrats to them <3

Will, who looks at Hannibal... with remorse? Regretting how much time they wasted, how he actually loves to see Hannibal free out of that glass box, his "beautiful" personality not lowered to a wild, bloodthirsty creature.

Will, who can't stand the thought of not being able to hear Hannibal's heartbeats when they come to take him away from him again, who can't stand existing in a world where they don't share blood, breath, touch, warmth, life and death.

Will Graham, who chose Hannibal in death over the rest of the world in life.
