"I like to put photos together like they tell a story (...) They are put the way my mind works, (so) for others they could mean nothing at all"

 

Julie Delpy

 

Eu adoro todas as coisas

E o meu coração é um albergue aberto toda a noite.

Tenho pela vida um interesse ávido

Que busca compreendê-la sentindo-a muito.

Amo tudo, animo tudo, empresto humanidade a tudo,

Aos homens e às pedras, às almas e às máquinas,

Para aumentar com isso a minha personalidade.

 

Pertenço a tudo para pertencer cada vez mais a mim próprio

E a minha ambição era trazer o universo ao colo

Como uma criança a quem a ama beija.

Eu amo todas as coisas, umas mais do que as outras,

Não nenhuma mais do que outra, mas sempre mais as que estou vendo

Do que as que vi ou verei.

Nada para mim é tão belo como o movimento e as sensações.

A vida é uma grande feira e tudo são barracas e saltimbancos.

Penso nisto, enterneço-me mas não sossego nunca.

 

Acordar - Álvaro de Campos

Planos repletos de uma inquietação poética. Estórias onde a paisagem humana nos deslumbra num misto de cor, cinzas, sombras e imaginários que nos tocam e nos fazem refletir . Lugar onde a beleza esvoaça numa galeria one o tempo nos pára o olhar. um beijinho Ana.

simple: ana's work surprises me , wake me, warms me ... but my testimonial will be a citation of another ana: anônimo Sou linda; gostosa; quando no cinema você roça o ombro em mim aquece, escorre, já não sei mais quem desejo, que me assa viva, comendo coalhada ou atenta ao buço deles, que ternura inspira aquele gordo aqui, aquele outro ali, no cinema é escuro e a tela não importa, só o lado, o quente lateral, o minimo pavio. A portadora deste sabe onde me encontro até de olhos fechados; falo pouco; encontre; esquina de Concentração com Difusão, lado esquerdo de quem vem, jornal na mão, discreta. ana cristina cesar (to me this poem tells a lot also about your fantastic images...)

she's able to discover the New inside a world where everything has already been done and seen. she's clever, brilliant, smart with an absolutely feminine sight. here you can learn how to look the outside with your inside. love your work, ana.

i simply adore the way she works. she has one of the most interesting album here on fickr for me. her photographs are never trite, and i love the experimental style she uses to capture common life.

she is creative. images flow although never the same. she jumps from styles, cameras, subjects and there is an invisible connection. She is generous, and humble, and amazing. she grabs your attention in a second and you always want to come back. she is gifted. gaby

Ana has an amazing way of looking at life. Through her art we see the beauty of the world in all its colours. We see all its energy and light and emotions. I am inspired daily by Ana; because of her work, I have dared to try different things and that is always a very good thing. I am very fortunate to have met her and even more so to call her friend. I thank you, Ana, for being a true original. :-)) x

Ana.Caldas' work is so consistently good. She's developed a unique, impressionist style that really captures the fleeting, poignant moments that she is so perceptive about. She illuminates "inanimate objects", the space between them and human scenes in a way that make the world real, mysterious, and pregnant with hidden meanings and feelings.

I'm in love with Ana's photography.

... i love the grain & the mood, & the way the images all connect & link & flow, like a wild, glacier-fed river crashing down amid tumbled boulders.

Its almost impossible to see all the photos at once, look at them carefully etc but, the thing was i couldnt get enough, each page i went through i got more and more intrigued and dazled!!!! She's a great artist, a great photographer, a storie teller by nature - yes, her photos tell very very much. And the imagination takes us to places that are ........ unspeakable - i cant describe it!!!! Its strong, breathtaking, deep, emotional, humouristic, sensitive, misteryous, and extremly creative. She's like a fish flying : ) *******

Dona de uma infindável sensibilidade, Ana Caldas, consegue captar através da sua "máquina de sonhos", a vida mundana da forma mais atenta e peculiar que já presenciei no meu pequeno e amador percurso pelos meandros do Flickr. O delicioso uso e abuso da textura, a criatividade que coloca em todas as suas fotos, fazem da sua galeria um vício, que como a própria palavra indica, sem o qual já não consigo passar, e a sua visão da realidade é um convite ao imaginário e à quimera, tornando os dias menos pesados, dando-lhes um toque de conto de fadas, e fazendo uma chamada de atenção a pequenos detalhes do dia-a-dia, que por diversos motivos nos escapam! Obrigado Ana, por nos presenteares com o teu "olho clínico" e forma de estar na vida... E que se soltem as amarras que nos prendem ao clichet!!!! basta de "autistas" e "invisuais" e mentes abúlicas que não são sensíveis ao que os rodeia!!! mts beijinhos e continua assim, fiel à forma especial que tens de ver este mundo, tornando-o um pco mais belo e rico, e a apostar nas coisas simples, mas não menos importantes, a que nos habituaste!!!! ;))))
