Seven Seasons of the Spirit. 3. Lucifer 2015

This image, titled "Seven Seasons of the Spirit. 3. Lucifer" by Gian Maria Tosatti, throws us into a dark, almost theatrical space. I’m immediately drawn to the interplay of light and shadow, a fundamental aspect of how we perceive and process images. The stark contrast here isn't just about what's visible, but about the unseen, the unknown. The hanging bell, illuminated against the dark, textured walls, feels heavy with potential – will it ring, what message will it bring? The artist has used darkness as a material, allowing the small pool of light to define shape and texture. The walls look weathered and worn, like the inside of a tomb. It reminds me of the psychological spaces in the work of someone like Bill Viola, where darkness and light aren't just visual elements, but active participants in shaping our emotional and spiritual experience. Art becomes a process of revelation and ambiguity.
