This photograph by Enrique Linares captures the Sala de las dos Hermanas in the Alhambra, Granada. The overall color scheme is monochromatic. Look at the way the light is used, especially around the archways, to create depth. You can tell that Linares was thinking about process, about how to create an image that feels both real and dreamlike. The surface is full of tiny details. See how the patterns on the walls seem to vibrate? It’s like a dance of light and shadow, with each little shape playing its part. The tiles themselves, the way they catch the light and reflect it back, feel almost alive. There's an emphasis on texture. Those arabesques, they're not just decorations, they're like little stories etched into the stone. This image makes me think of Hilma af Klint, with her interest in hidden orders and spiritual dimensions. Like her, Linares seems to be searching for something beyond the surface, inviting us to see the world in a new way. It’s a reminder that art is not just about what we see, but about how we see.
