Photo Feature by Ernesto González Díaz

HAVANA TIMES — Gothic is a creative motion that spans totally different types of expression akin to structure, music, movie, literature, pictures, amongst others. Gothic pictures goes far past easy darkish photos. It is a visible exploration of melancholy, the elegant, the decadent, and the mysterious. Among its primary traits are the play of sunshine and shadow, desaturated colours, monochrome, and when there’s shade it tends to seem as heat accents (blood reds, browns, golds).

The primary areas used to create these pictures are typically cemeteries, ruined buildings, dense and misty forests, deserted mansions, decadent interiors, and so forth. Old clocks, worn books, candelabras, and non secular or occult symbols are additionally generally employed.

As for human fashions, they need to have an introspective or distant gaze, and clothes — basically black — impressed by Gothic or Victorian vogue (corsets, lace, and so forth.).

Gothic pictures is, in essence, the seek for a profound magnificence in what’s conventionally thought-about darkish, melancholic, or bygone. It is a dialogue with what stays, what fades, and with the shadow all of us carry inside.
