Oeuvre de l'artiste belge Pol BURY , les fontaines à boules ,lentement mobiles sont situées dans la cour d'Orléans, entre la cour d'honneur du Palais-Royal qui abrite les colonnes de Buren et le jardin.
Work edifice by Belgian artist Pol BURY, the slowly moving ball fountains are located in the courtyard of Orleans, between the courtyard of the Palais-Royal which houses the Buren columns and the garden.
On the day of my passage alas the fountain seemed to stand still but the reflections were worth the blow
Suprematism is an early twentieth-century art movement focused on the fundamentals of geometry (circles, squares, rectangles, triangles). The term refers to a form of abstract art based on the supremacy of pure artistic expression rather than on a visual or literal depiction of objects. It is entirely subjective and gives room for the artist to present what they think or perceive versus what they may see.
Brutalism • Reimagined
Brutalist architecture is one of the most controversial styles of architecture to exist. It’s what people imagine when they think about what a prison looks like, with its cold and imposing exterior. Brutalism is also what people typically picture when they think of government buildings or schools built in the 1950s-1960s.
Brutalist style is known for its heavy, imposing appearance. If there’s one word that can sum up the entirety of brutalism, it’s the word “concrete.” The style came as a response to the sleek and polished Moderne style popular during the early 20th century.

Looking straight up into the magnificent golden inner dome of the Gur-e Amir Mausoleum in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, one of the finest examples of Timurid architecture in Central Asia. Built in the early 15th century, the mausoleum became the final resting place of Amir Timur (Tamerlane, 1336–1405), the founder of the Timurid Empire. The extraordinary dome is covered with thousands of intricate floral and geometric ornaments, illuminated by warm golden light. Much of its present splendour reflects later restoration work, preserving and recreating the decorative traditions of the Timurid period. Surrounding the dome are beautifully decorated arches and deep blue bands of Arabic calligraphy, creating a striking contrast with the golden ceiling. The elaborate patterns and architectural details reveal the remarkable craftsmanship of the period. What fascinated me most was the almost perfect symmetry of the circular dome within the square structure. Despite the incredible richness of the decoration, the composition feels surprisingly harmonious. By looking directly upwards, I wanted to capture this fascinating combination of geometry, colour and architectural beauty. The longer you look, the more details you discover.
A golden masterpiece of symmetry and craftsmanship — Gur-e Amir Mausoleum, Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
Een blik recht omhoog naar de schitterende gouden binnenkoepel van het Gur-e Amir-mausoleum in Samarkand, Oezbekistan, een van de mooiste voorbeelden van de Timuridische architectuur in Centraal-Azië. Het mausoleum werd aan het begin van de 15e eeuw gebouwd en werd de laatste rustplaats van Amir Timur (Timoer Lenk, 1336–1405), de stichter van het Timuridische Rijk. De indrukwekkende koepel is bedekt met duizenden verfijnde bloemmotieven en geometrische patronen, die door de warme verlichting prachtig tot hun recht komen. Een belangrijk deel van de huidige gouden pracht is het resultaat van latere restauraties, waarbij de decoratieve tradities uit de Timuridische periode zijn behouden en opnieuw tot leven gebracht. Rondom de koepel bevinden zich rijkversierde bogen en diepblauwe banden met Arabische kalligrafie, die een schitterend contrast vormen met het gouden plafond. De vele ornamenten en architectonische details laten het uitzonderlijke vakmanschap uit die tijd zien. Wat mij vooral fascineerde, was de bijna perfecte symmetrie van de ronde koepel binnen de vierkante ruimte. Ondanks de enorme rijkdom aan versieringen straalt het geheel een bijzondere harmonie uit. Door recht omhoog te fotograferen, wilde ik juist deze combinatie van geometrie, kleur en architectonische schoonheid vastleggen. Hoe langer je kijkt, hoe meer details je ontdekt.
Take your spec's off, squint your eyes or stand as far back as possible to appreciate the effect he has created.

The entrance of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, reveals an extraordinary display of Islamic decoration. The deep pointed arch is filled with elaborate muqarnas, a traditional form of three-dimensional ornamentation often described as resembling honeycombs or stalactites. Hundreds of small geometric surfaces come together in an intricate composition of blue, turquoise, white and gold. Every section seems to contain another pattern, yet together they form an almost perfectly symmetrical whole. The combination of geometric motifs, floral decoration and Arabic calligraphy reflects the remarkable craftsmanship found throughout the complex. Looking closely, the architecture almost seems to dissolve into countless individual pieces of colour and detail.
Hundreds of details coming together as one beneath the richly decorated entrance of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Van dichtbij toont de toegang van het Center for Islamic Civilization in Tasjkent, Oezbekistan een indrukwekkende rijkdom aan islamitische decoratie. De diepe spitsboog is gevuld met prachtig uitgewerkte muqarnas, een traditionele driedimensionale versiering die vaak wordt vergeleken met honingraten of stalactieten. Honderden kleine geometrische vlakken vormen samen een ingewikkeld patroon van blauw, turquoise, wit en goud. Bijna ieder vlak heeft zijn eigen versiering en toch vormt alles samen een prachtig symmetrisch geheel. De combinatie van geometrische patronen, bloemmotieven en Arabische kalligrafie laat goed zien hoeveel vakmanschap in de decoratie van het complex is gestoken. Hoe langer je kijkt, hoe meer details je ontdekt.
A moment suspended, caught between the sharp realities of light and the enveloping embrace of darkness.
