Circles of Life from Martin Morante on Vimeo.
Sadly, unless you have an EXTRA fast connection, I will recomend that you hit play and pause right away and let it load before hitting play again, otherwise it will lose the continuity and the "cuteness" of it. If you want better image quality watch it from vimeo (click here) Thank you!
This is an animation or better say a sequence video created during the process of making the barrel for the "Rain Barrels on Parade 2011" for which I was invited to participate by the NSAA and the Village of Grafton, Wisconsin, among other local artists. I had posted something about this project before, what you can see by clicking HERE and HERE.
The barrel, which I named "Circles of Life" was made using acrylic painting and the idea for the design comes from 2 sources which I recycled and adapt to my own concept:_1) Australian aboriginal art, which uses concentric circles as symbol for water and which also is believed to be part of the creation of life by antique and traditional beliefs. 2) The simple fact of the fascination it always created on me the simple action of watching rain drops hitting other surfaces of water.

The colors choose for the project were based on the most used colors to determine dry areas in graphics ( red, orange and yellow) as the colors that show water density ( different shades of blue).
Simple as it is I hope you enjoy it. My best,
Martín.
PS_ Thank you to Paula for the invitation to participate in this project and Kapco Co. for sponsoring my barrel.

Lamentablemente, a lo menos que poseas una conexión SUPER rápida, recomiendo que aprietes play y pausa enseguida, para poder dejarlo descargar completamente antes de volver a apretar play, sino se pierde la continuidad y la gracia del mismo. Si deseas mejor calidad de imagen, miralo desde Vimeo (click aquí ). Gracias!!!
Esta es una animación, o mejor dicho un video en secuencia creada durante el proceso de creación del barril para el "Desfile de Barrilles de LLuvia 2011" para el cuál fui invitado a participar junto a otros artistas por la Ciudad de Grafton y la NSAA. Había posteado al respecto con anterioridad, lo cuál puede ser visto haciendo click AQUI y AQUI.
El barril, al que titule "Círculos de Vida", fue realizado usando pintura acrílica y la idea en el diseño proviene de 2 fuentes las cuales recicle para poder adaptar a mi propio concepto: 1_ La técnica usada por el arte aborigen de procedencia australiana, en la cual las fuentes de agua son representadas a través de círculos concéntricos, los cuales a su vez simbolizan fuentes de creación de vida según antiguas creencias. 2_ El simple hecho de la fascinación que siempre ha creado en mi el simple hecho de quedarme observando las gotas de lluvia al chocar contra otras superficies de agua.
Los colores usados en este proyecto provienen de los colores generalmente usados en gráficas para describir áreas secas ( rojo, naranja y amarillo) así como los colores usados para mostrar diferentes niveles de densidad de agua ( diferentes tonos de azul).
Simple como es, espero que sea disfrutado. Saludos,
Martín
PS_ La música pertenece a la canción "Armchairs" de Andrew Bird del albúm "Armchair Apocrypha".2007
