The light is now a subject of deep research, his application goes from the most basic things of domestic life, through his artistic and scientific use, where we show that forms of development are yet to be seen.
Movement, space, time and / or color are carriers of visual communication that are used as codes of whom will receive the message, let us not forget that there is also another very important aspect, the material that absorbs these codes of whom will surely very accurate and varied according to each observer and which will be drawn behavior in a variety of ways.
De la misma manera en que una frase puede ser confusa, también el lenguaje de la luz puede producir un concepto no preciso; es por eso que antes de cualquier aplicación definitiva de la misma se debe hacer una investigación de laboratorio y análisis, observando detenidamente el behavior of material, color, reflection and absorption, which will give us a more accurate reading of our visual perception.
In the more we know about the behavior of light, more accurately will get to understand a reality that makes very few years was far from us and now we are overflowing and techniques of creative possibilities. During this journey of learning encounter phenomena of decomposition, visual leak, RESTRUCTURING, textures, shapes and visual detained moving shadows thrown. The important thing is to continue a visual logic to provide us with a clear result of understanding, even for a common public.
The light and the spectrum of color have a very strong link with our emotions, somehow manipulated the moods, which is why we need to have the intelligence and its application in view of the whole range of reasons that move across the A ray of light.
In this modern era, the lighting is a tool of psychology that puts us in areas of great comfort, fills us with positive energy or mystery many areas, gives us warm in cold or otherwise, creating a magical place that appears and disappears when we want.
