If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would
appear to man as it is, infinite. — William Blake

Solo una mirada limpia y libre es capaz de ver la belleza infinita. Enhorabuena por su trabajo Atte. Cantorrales
Sabine paints with her camera ; her brush stroke is as certain with this medium as it is with painting, her other vocation ; the two are beautifully complementary. Sabine's world is tender, humorous, intelligent. How she treats her subjects is how she also treats others, with love for strengths as well as for idios… Read more
Sabine paints with her camera ; her brush stroke is as certain with this medium as it is with painting, her other vocation ; the two are beautifully complementary. Sabine's world is tender, humorous, intelligent. How she treats her subjects is how she also treats others, with love for strengths as well as for idiosyncrasies. Her eye is a fine and a discerning one for specificity in art at large and her heart like her art, warm and good and without any hypocrisy. This is also how her artwork is : subtle, honest, caring. There is a sense of playfulness and an air of freedom in Sabine's way of seeing and depicting the world which makes for pleasurable virtual gallery visits, ones we always leave with regret for having to go, but refreshed for having seen a world with a pair of fresh eyes. It is wonderful to be able to see your world and to be part of it. Thank you for your lens-paintings and your friendship, Sabine.

Sabine has a beautifully light and gentle touch. Her work gives me cause to look at the world differently.
Sabine Potela's photos are a constant inspiration. Here is an insightful and innovative photographer at work, one with an extraordinary sense of aesthetic discipline and artistic innovation. Truly, one of the great artists on Flickr.
Sabine sets a consistently high standard; it’s a pleasure to view each one of her offerings. Her work covers a wide gambit, from introspective and moody to joyous explosions of color. It is my honor to count her as a friend.
Sabine's photos are very sense-full... I find myself thinking things like "I can feel the coolness of that wall" or "I can smell this dark space". Evocative, abstract, dreamspace pictures that are timeless.
sabine, ah, she's the one.
Sabine has a way of bringing texture beyond the screen and into your room. Her ability to find these fragments is inspired!
I like Sabine's photos. :-D They are often abstract but always natural, never contrived or 'staged'. She finds beauty in not only the details we often miss, but also in decay and decrepitude ("Even the Mona Lisa is falling apart").
Passionate for the arts, Sabine is as good photographer as she is a painter. If in her paintings every single detail arises expressively from the organised chaos of materials and textures finding its way into the observer’s eye, in her photos the objects are always presented in a raw and natural condition.

Passionate for the arts, Sabine is as good photographer as she is a painter. If in her paintings every single detail arises expressively from the organised chaos of materials and textures finding its way into the observer’s eye, in her photos the objects are always presented in a raw and natural condition. She allows the observer to perceive them as they are and does not impose her view on us. If something is to be regretted, it should be her not having started earlier showing us her world, showing what lies behind the decaying façade of an old building, and showing the rich textures a bare eye is not be able to see or will promptly ignore if not obliged to see.
