Antonio Pessoa
Burning Flame
Feeding his concept of Masterpiece,the
magnificent life guide,the inner creative
aqueduct running as a video game,allowing the
proper context of effective thought turn into a
luminous landscape of rewarding reality,where the
weaponry of imagination,plays a rather important
role,basically it's all there is to have in order
to accomplish the wildest dreams,Antonio Pessoa's
burning flame is more than ever the action set
for his passionate,vibrant and purposeful
positive energy aiming at that pure unbridled
ecstasy of personal success and at achieving
goals,whatever they might be,like a magical
inspiring huge fire wave around his heart and
soul. Most important of all,Pessoa effortlessly
keeps his flame burning in every possible way as
always,lighting up living fire and consequently
he does have a lot of fun attracting the universe
natural pulse while life easy does it,providing
him with the hottest colors of desire,action and
fullfilment. It's becoming more and more general
well known fact that indeed Pessoa has obviously
sunk to depths of self biographical fine art
rituals nobody could ever imagined. His long-
standing relationship with art studio intensive
performance step by step,year after year,as time
goes by,made him to become more focused and
dedicated to catch up with his inner self,thereby
coming up with a growing prominent
attitude,genuine interest and commited on-going
research concerning a light speed development
philosophy of life oriented process meking him
take on more truthful art expression moves and
skills than ever before. BURNING FLAME, acrylic
on canvas,Antonio Pessoa 2007, is definitely a
paradigmatic witness of this continuous and
growing emotional life observing giving him
impressive motivational lectures of the mind's
science,thereby empowering his current oeuvre to
promote an outstanding wide profile of human
nature,including himself. Burning Flame,apart
from its inner emotional content along with its
direct association with the source of Pessoa's
intensive self- discovery,establishes once again
the latest visual language through which the
artist puts special emphasis on a metaphorically
oriented feeling of immense art expression
freedom,in the whole essence,idea,concept and
visual impact. Antonio Pessoa's vivid and
emotional understanding of reality externalises
its inner world onto the world of pure abstract
nature,where the principles of aesthetics,apart
from their intrinsic interest,introduce a new
depth of feelings guided through clearly
instructed methods of conceptual art
making,sequences where the multiple abstract
images in contrast to a unique mixture of colors
creates a lyric-dynamic plastic
architecture,underscoring a clear-cut inherent
richness and an exuberant variety of
meanings,eroticized sensuality,almost living
visual patterns,providing the viewer with the
possibility of an interpretation triplicity and
an open access to all this emotional embodiment
of art. Its design,layout and content makes
Burning Flame unique and irresistible for the
eye,for it is obvious that apart from its
expressive value,the drawing plays an important
communicative role,transparently symbolic,yet so
abstractly described. Nevertheless,it's not only
the painting's title or even the visual pleasant
results pointing out that the artist's message
merely suggests the Burning Flame meaning and
idea. As a matter of fact Burning Flame might as
well be interpreted as Antonio Pessoa's nature
most reliable signature. The criterion used to
give a specific title to each of his latest
artworks is based on a very conceptual catalogue
of attitudes,priorities and most
importantly,beliefs. The truth is,Pessoa's
genetic mechanism has provided the art creator
not only with an impressive mental vital energy
but also with an impressive outstanding
imagination,delivering him exceptional results
throughout his life up to now,such a remarkable
innovative reasoning ability,creative
communication skills and a first rate perception
of cause and effect. The growing awareness of
this golden God's gift,which has been his
lifetime heart and soul of his punctual breath-
taking accomplishments,explains the deep essence
of this canvas titled Burning Flame,rather a
token of humble gratitude than a temporary
relation of superiority. Even the many harsh
setbacks,critic situations and crushing times
along the way didn't manage to generate enough
negative power to break his solid as a rock
determination and pro-life positive thinking,on
the contrary,life's unexpected winds of changes
and painful blackouts actually succeeded
effectually in strengthening the potential of his
emotional and mind armament,serving to mould the
artist's character increasing its power at the
expense of the inevitable downs and outs.

Antonio Pessoa
Portrait
Now What?Antonio Pessoa unpredictable as his
reputation heralds,comes up with a rather
mysterious canvas,somehow suddenly breaking away
from the series of spiritual-oriented artworks he
has been presenting lately. PORTRAIT,acrylic on
canvas,Antonio Pessoa 2007,stands out of the
artist's latest line of work,with a title and a
touch of art expression reminding his late
nineties oeuvre. Visiting Pessoa's studio in the
first week of November precisely during the
making of PORTRAIT,I asked him as politely as I
possibly could what was going on.The artist sits
in front of me and without any beating about the
bush preambles,tells me he needed urgently to
demystify someone we both knew,searching for
logical evidence and accurate clues in order to
explain through art expression and very
particularly to himself the true nature and deep
motivations of the eccentric character
represented in PORTRAIT,his inherent complex of
attributes plus his restless actions and
reactions. Once identified Portrait's heart and
soul,I'm quite sure the artist from that step on
is having so much fun,now able and available to
play the game,hanging out provided with the third
vision of perception and thereby watching whoever
is behind this abstract painting,articulating his
focus and looking beyond the surface,deep,above
and below,defenitely seeing a whole lot more than
what any viewer eventually shall see
whatever,whoever the image truly manifests and
represents. Once again the superior mirage of the
natural privilege of being an artist gives him
probably the genuine right to keep a whole lot of
secrets for himself,therefore the puzzling
secrecy and identity of Portrait keeps the viewer
asking the same old questions over and over
again,and this premeditated cause and effect
reaction manipulation is the typical modus-
operandi of Antonio Pessoa's harmless playful
moody games,when it comes to use art as his
favorite tool in order to challenge the viewer's
thoughtful and sometimes painful discernment
process about how to actually approach a
purposely ambiguous topic,randomly experiencing
multiple assumptions and considering several
aspects of an apparently faceless
Portrait,particularly in this thrilling situation
in which the artist provides no antidotes
whatsoever for the viewer's ocular interpretation
let alone navigate across the ocean of
speculative exploring,and consequently come up at
least with a dim light at the end of the tunnel
after a meticulous eternity trying to figure out
the artist's intentions,jumping at last to the
twisted-grinning accurate conclusion that the
hidden consistency of Portrait was from the very
beginning meant for the artist to know and for
the viewer to find out. More than a visual
illusion,Portrait's
equivocal,cryptic,enigmatic,"top secret"
possibilities,incorporates key-references,trying
and actually succeeding to provide the viewer
with a superuniverse of infinite research
tools,however in the meantime creating a
mysterious traffic of visual tactics almost
suggesting that the one meant to have been the
inspiring model is pure imagination fiction,that
the true meaning of this painting,maybe...just
maybe,might as well still be under construction.
Basically,all I could really do to help in the
hope to cool the viewer's anxiety or make the
viewer consider the evidence of no evidence at
all,would possibly be to gently say "give it up
and just sit,relax and enjoy it",for after all it
seems to me quite obvious Portrait was indeed
meant to be from the very beginning a conceptual
artistic camouflage. A mystery Portrait,an
artist's secret,revealing absolutely nothing but
another interesting fine art riddle,a brain
teaser double and veiled meaning
composition,meant to puzzle the viewer and
therefore a classified information artistic
enigma never to be solved. Antonio Pessoa's juicy
secret skillfully hidden perhaps behind the
apparent empty spaces of the canvas,as if
answering questions with odd questions,makes
Portrait the traditional "maybe,maybe not" sort
of inscrutable,obscure,even mystical sort of
artistic disappearance,leaving no loose ends and
leaving the anonymous portrayed one forevermore
occult in the mystifying highest level of the
world fine art nameless esoteric models Olympus!

Antonio Pessoa
Colors Update
Pessoa stains on watercolor paper,both generously
or feverishly adding water to the
tissue,following the spontaneous instructions of
his experienced intuition. His untouchable
imaginative endeavour,makes his fine art activity
an effortless almost unconscious
undertaking,apparently with no doubts about the
whole art action enterprise,whatsoever. His
quality work is thereby delivered and
accomplished by miracle,showing us once again
clear evidences of his privileged gift he
gracefully received and gratefully developed and
improved through this well-known systematic
exceptional working method and highly
professional attitude. Enchanting the world with
his inmitable visual flavours,colorful motions by
projecting his peculiar dynamic kaleidoscope of
pure contemporary poetry,Pessoa provides us with
this pleasant artistic metaphysics,visual
literature where elemental beauty of adventurous
power of invention leave art lovers deliciously
dazzled by the mastery through which he
artistically speaks his mind as his work becomes
more and more notorious like something truly
magical in today's contemporary art scene. From a
modern critical standpoint,Antonio Pessoa has
indeed this unique capacity to make us see things
that aren't actually there,that completely high
level when the viewer awakens suddenly and
contemplates the awesome abstract nature of
inspired combinated creative cutting edge. It's
work and play,flowing from one idea to another as
he walks us through the multiple artistic
possibilities,not only the quality evidence of a
life's work but a rather original
style,powerfully magnetic,intensive and new. Ups
and downs,ins and outs,don't seem to be able to
stop the artist,let alone take his burning fire
away.No stormy Monday,foggy Twesday or rainy day
seem to be capable to put his fire off,neither
thunderstorming,freezing or snowing events or
even setbacks,seem to succeed to list him among
the lost stars. If it's true that vulgarity
begins when imagination succumbs to the
explicit,then Antonio Pessoa's burning flame
fading out is definitely out of question. Back in
business after a good night sleep,no matter
what's at stake,no matter what it takes,the Show
must go on for today's visual arts most
adventurous and dynamic entertainer. Even feeling
quite often a bit burned out by pressure and life
in general,Pessoa's trained pro- life attitude
grants him what seems to be indeed a life time
heavenly Guardian Angel assistance,a whole great
amount of vital positive energy,showing him the
way and lead his project in full swing with the
hot fusion of mind power daily updates.
Therefore,COLORS UPDATE,watercolor and acrylic on
watercolor paper,Antonio Pessoa 2007,now it sure
seems like it was an accurate predicability of
the on-going art action and visual results of the
making of an impressive collection of cutting
edge mixed media artworks on watercolor tissue
and most importantly using a true revolutionary
method in the art of painting,which essential
characteristics is the magical experience of the
color stains taking spontaneous and absolute
control plus cellular autonomy of the art
action,just as in one of those amazing Walt
Disney best of productions animation fiction
wonders.Can you believe it? The art studio wizard
is back in business,a paradigmatic inspired fine
artist performing a striking number of art
magic ...or should I say ...contemporary
witchcraft? What do you know!Optical illusions
appear on the watercolor wet tissues,exhibiting a
breathtaking fairy magic fantasy festival . Art
reviews heralding "welcome back to the art
studio,Antonio Pessoa,sure thing,the place where
you definitely do belong." Breaking news never
seemed to be so easy,breaking news never seemed
to be so fulfilling,breaking news never seemed to
be so exciting,sensational,rewarding,delicious
and magical. The art studio wizard at work shows
us inevitably once again a truly special profecy
of contemporary art current-upcoming cutting
edge,as time goes by and the show must go on,and
it does,it's definitely a Must,Must,Must flash
point art performance,a Must elated blissed-out
phenomenon! Freeze,read my lips and mark my
words,one has actually got to see it to believe
it. Pessoa opens his studio doors for his
faithful,best and closest friends,the only ones
allowed to enter the cathedral of contemporary
fine art and thereby witness live and ablaze,a
landscape of chaotically displayed dozens and
dozens of watercolor tissues all over the
floor,miraculous visions on top of other textured
multicolored victorious artistic wonders.
Theoretically and apparently one could come up
with the possibility of an artist working
chaotically,which isn't definitely what is
happening. Colors in the air,that's more like
it,up they go and next thing you know they are
fast landing in artland,it's best to get down
quickly,for red,yellow,orange,brown,black and
blue color pigments are flying all over the place
like party decorations gone mad,precisely when
time awareness seems to have been suspended,sense
of reality expired and the artistic madness now
hitting us hard,nevertheless too late to warn us
how deliciously crazy we can go standing before
Antonio Pessoa's art action glowing exuberance
and original style extending well beyond the
inherited tradition of reasonable self-contained
art making.Too much of too much,believe me. Much
more than simply a Colors Update,the artist's
effortless studio live shows,leave us no doubts
of how far into artistic mastery he has already
gone,and a clear clue of how his strikingly
spectacular upcoming special effects aesthetic
achievements are unquestionably going to hit the
highest possible standards of quality
contemporary art,surely bound to inspire not only
the new generation of talented emerging artists
but also today's art collectors special
recognition of his creative skills and top of the
line awesome artistic accomplishments.

contemporary art reviews full-swing stimulating
and rather rewarding adventure for all of us art
critics and art lovers,We like it,we enjoy it and
we feel that we are well placed to guide our dear
art loving public into an increasingly
fascinating net surfing cinematic odyssey,racing
across the waves of the artist's outs and abouts
and biography,in a totally new direction and
style of approaching art as a subject rather
stimulating than dull,thereby through the
systematic and pleasurable effort of grabbing the
public's attention into an entirely new
perspective of how amazing,amusing and very
entertaining the Life and Oeuvre of an artist can
be,so more and more people will be willing to
join us and take a look,even experience,what's
behind and beyond the colorful magic of
contemporary art awesome and truly exciting
universe. The rhythm and motion dance of Antonio
Pessoa's past,current and upcoming life
episodes,provides us with a huge amount of
substantially new manners of digesting
contemporary art,let alone an endless
breathtaking display of interesting
headlines,particularly meaningful enough reasons
to spontaneously create and launch a new concept
and general vision overlooking the heart and soul
of the leading role of an artist as much unique
as talented,as much a real-life adventurer as an
art studio veteran,playing based upon the script
which is being written as time goes by and while
a truly cutting-edge contemporary fine art
collection is actually being made! So Ladies and
Gentlemen,art lovers,and all of you net
surfers,please fasten your seat belts,for we are
all once again preparing to take off into the
artistic colorful wonder skies enrolled at one of
the most striking transcosmic flights across the
universe of Life and Oeuvre of one of the most
brilliantly controversial and amazing artists of
today's art scene. Most importantly do make
absolutely sure you're actually enjoying yourself
fully,no matter if you're a feverish art lover or
if it happens you're just simply surfing
away,unexpectedly stumbling upon an art reviews
site magazine. So what?Stay a while,even if
you're in a bit of a rush,for,who knows - well,I
know! - you might as well be about to come across
something powerfully positive enough to actually
change your outlook of life and very specifically
your outlook of Art! Why?For it's definitely
worth your valuable time,definitely worth just to
give it a try! Welcome to the cutting-edge
contemporary New Line ! A self-made man,a self-
made artist,sometimes disguised as simply a life
lover undercover,an original gracious wonderful
human being since his early teens simply enjoying
to let feelings and emotions out in the open
through fine art expression. So much has been
said at random of the mystery behind the artist
profile and very particularly about his
adventurous life roleplaying,indeed a
breathtaking episodes roller coaster live show...
However,in spite of all this systematic amusing
speculation,Antonio Pessoa's true and basic
motivation therein lies the first key leading to
the ultimate conclusion,that his personal success
is after all his pure relation with art
expression,not necessarily a religious ritual,but
actually very simply the natural spontaneous
happiness he always feels mixing colors and
concepts,and in so doing coming up with specific
visual results,invariably the meaningful
reflexion of the heart and soul of a boy who once
discovered during his early teens the great
emotional symphony he could indeed experience
throughout his all day long private art making
sessions. Throughout the years up to now,Antonio
Pessoa has been showing us basically all
possibilities concerning the worldwide visual
arts universe,from Modern Art to contemporary
cutting edge. However,most important of all,he
has been showing us the ultimate paradigmatic
attitude of a truthful artist,systematically and
inconditionally honest and completely faithful to
his deepest beliefs,and in so doing very
often,strange and crazy as it seems,putting his
professional art carrer on Standby,regardless of
consequences,by making solid sure that attending
to the present mindfulness personal life self-
commitments would always be his priority number
one! "I Did It My Way" could eventually become
one day the title of a book or even a motion
picture about Life and Work of the artist,easily.
Jazz musicien,adventurer or art maker,Pessoa has
been leading a life inner-voice oriented,being
unbreakable self-confidence and dynamic
determination the main strong and powerful
characteristics of his unique and creative
personality.Fact! From a public global
perspective,one could freely assume that his life
could have been better or could have been
worse.Speculative time- wasting,if you ask me.
The art maker's life has been and it is what his
heart told him and tells him to do,how to do it
and at last but not the least,who to do it with!
Antonio Pessoa,the Art Maker,specifically since
the early nineties gets down to absolute art
action,with such a striking energy to such an
extent that by the end of 2002 he had actually
accomplished an impressive encyclopedic art
collection of over seven thousand artworks,namely
oils on canvas,mixed medias,collages,acrylics on
paper,watercolors and drawings. He soon excelled
at the craft,through this intensive eight days a
week art production twelve years in a row
hallucinating odyssey,exploring all there was to
explore and in so doing,reaching at light-speed a
truly remarkable technical high quality
level,expertise and mastery,let alone his well
developed now easy-to-do talented composition and
invention capacity,all this and all that,turning
him into one of the most striking artists of our
times. These words of mine,based upon true facts
aim at capturing the global awareness to
identify,gaining clear understanding and
consciousness of Antonio Pessoa indeed as a
living artistic phenomenon in today's worldwide
art scene. One actually has to see it to believe
it! Fact. Entering the artist's studio,take a sit
and watching him painting,is by all means a truly
unforgettable experience. It's always indeed very
exciting to attend the Art Maker's studio and
witness his live performance rhythm and style .
Like an expert ballet dancer moving about the
titanic easel,filling in the blank canvas space
through successive moves of brush strokes
striking precision,only to be interrupted by
sudden short moments for totally focused
perspective measurement and deep thoughtfully
reflective mental-emotional full-swing evaluation
before the composition,the show definitely goes
on and by the way extremely entertaining indeed.
The artist's spectacular performing style through
the act of creating and arranging several
aesthetics advanced essentials,managing with
astounding mastery a mixture of ingredients step
by step but rather quicky resulting to form the
unified whole of a finished contemporary fine art
masterpiece,is astonishingly cinematic,something
to actually witness in order to believe
it.Believe me! Absolutely,that's the way to do
it. Among the hundreds of contemporary artists
that I came to get to know
personally,unquestionably the Art Maker,live
studio performer,is by all means a unique super
fine art wizard beyond compare.
Anytime,anywhere,anyhow...and,well,anyway...with
more or less worldwide projection Antonio Pessoa
is a top reference for all art lovers from all
over the planet,the best investment for the major
art galleries,a solid choice for the most
passionate and distinguished art collectors and
at last but not the least,a great contemporary
positive influence for all emerging artists on
their winding way to be under their personal
achievements glaring spotlight. Helping the
viewer where to look and what to look for,has
been our stimulating creative activity,providing
the public in general and very particularly art
lovers,with accurate and interesting information
related with Antonio Pessoa's life and oeuvre. A
non-profite site or blog with detailed art
reviews seems to be the least we can do for all
of you who enjoy the privilege of having free
access to the fascinating backstage area of on of
the most unique artists of today's art scene. Our
non-profit mission has proven to be fulfilling
and rewarding beyond our expectations as it has
reached the wonderful point of no return-total
commitment. I must admit that we are becoming
more and more excited about the idea of serving a
wide community of art lovers by delivering on a
regular and punctual basis consistent sensitive
information,biographical articles and art reviews
where you will find enough answers to satisfy
your genuine curiosity demands,meanwhile in

abouts. A very special salute to Mr.Vicente
Lagos,Antonio Pessoa's patron and public
relations,for his systematic moral and financial
support since the year 2003,the person who had
the remarkable capacity of seeing the whole
picture and potential of the internet mass
communication resources,providing us with a broad
range of tools and possibilities in order to
establish a always updated digital gallery and
journal,an easy digest efficient information flow
aiming at capturing the attention of the art
lovers eclectic community. This online
communication focused on constructing knowledge
and thereby creating a strong sense of
criticism,mood and atmosphere among art lovers
from all over the world,has been so far a truly
challenging and entertaining experience,which has
turned our work into a continuous amusing
connectedness with a wide- spreading of public
and a whole new generation of eruditely open-
minded,passionate net surfers. Helping them
finding the truth about Pessoa's oeuvre,life and
prolific explorations of the personal,artistic
and methaphysical kind through an exciting online
easy-to-do research,has been our main
task,priority,a delightful and most enjoyable
empirical odyssey up to now,something which has
grown in faith and strengthened by incredible
teamwork. We pride ourselves on our fun and
stimulating challenges well focused on a project
we sure hope it shall enlightens and entertains
you with easy ways to keep in touch with an
immensely creative,remarkably awesome,totally
imaginative contemporary fine art phenomenon
named Antonio Pessoa! Speaking and writing on
behalf of one of today's art scene most original
profiles,we inevitably provide a new approach to
public perception of what a contemporary artist
real- life role is actually all about. The
ultimate relationship between cutting-edge Art
Vision and worlwide art lovers must and shall
reach a high level of quality communication,if
not at light-speed,at least with Telegram
accuracy and daily-weekly punctuality. If past
has lived up to be basically -in this particular
paradigmatic case a rather positive reference -
present and future will most certainly be the
trial by fire upcoming judgement times,concerning
Life and Oeuvre of artist Antonio Pessoa,an on-
going process and project creatively focused on
global communication and seriously commited to
make the best and the most of it,no matter what
will be at stake along the way,and by all means
aiming at systematically coming up with
innovative concepts in all areas,essentially in a
world going through fascinating fast
mutations,thereby claiming and rightfully
expecting a new line,a fresh new start attitude
and definitely a dynamic futuristic Art Vision!
So what else is new?The question really at stake
now is indeed whether art collectors,art
lovers,artists,public,art media,are truly
enthusiastic and genuinely excited about the way
world art scene actually projects and promotes
its contemporary expression,eventually making it
accessible to all people and most importantly is
the contemporary art universal message actually
being fully digested and understood? Something
worth pondering,if you ask me,conclusions worth
being reached,a very good spare times option...or
otherwise,let the dice roll,let it be and let the
answers go on and on blowing in the wind...as
Robert Zimmerman would most certainly put it,I'm
I right or am I right? You will let me know
rather sooner than later,I believe and surely
expect you to do so. As for right now,thank you
very much indeed for your attention after all
these years plus your systematic interest so far.
Antonio Pessoa - Art Vision - Telegram,is
online,on-going,on land,on hand,on fire and by
all means essentially on faith. We definitely
hope you'll make the most of it as we in the mean
time will be putting all our efforts and energy
in order to keep on doing our very best the very
best way we know how!

Antonio Pessoa
Art Metaphors
Art Metaphors,collage and mixed media on
canvas,Antonio Pessoa 2007,apart from its
delicious visual impact,is a result of a
systematic research across the art scene
worldwide universe,with a great help from his two
collaborators,Luis Santiago and Pierre
Fontanals,two updated art experts and two
excellent art critics as well. Since 2003,Pessoa
by then already living in Barcelona,becomes more
and more interested and consequently familiarized
not only with the current on-going art events but
also with the so called modern masters and very
particularly with the contemporary top artists
plus the most dynamic art galleries mainly in
Europe and United States. From then on the artist
gradually deletes the old influences,namely the
overloaded figurative items of the past waya from
his canvases and watercolors landing in the 2005
New Era field with a totally contemporary
abstract new line. Despite the well know fact
pure abstract fine art has always been punctually
present throughout the nineties,onlu in the
twenty first century comes the time when he at
last broke up with the explicit human
representations for good,becoming a symbol of
advanced contemporary art status and identity by
creating a new visual arts body of new idewas,an
interesting and well expressed studio cooking
where logical conjunctio has been skillfully
overtaken by a strongly communicative art
projection style. Antonio Pessoa's successful
puzzling recent artworks leave no doubt of the
exciting art language switch opening new windows
overlooking bright colorful fields of spacious a
light new possibilities of contemporary fine art.
Wassily Kandinsky's abstract sensorial
magnificence and invention richness has always
been Antonio Pessoa's strongest reference and
influence concerning linear abstract art lyricism
ever. Paintings such as Improvisation 31 ( Sea
Battle) from 1913,Black Spot,Yellow-Red-Blue,oil
on canvas from 1925,shown at the Musée National
D'Art Moderne,Centre Pompidou,Paris;Painting with
White Border now belonging to the Solomon R.
Guggenheim Founding Collection,among many others
masterpieces by the russian painter,had a great
impact on Pessoa's early abstract first
experiences helping him realize that supreme art
expression doesn't necessarily need to be
represented by figurative human or specific
object sources in order to establish a profound
perspective on communication and meaning in the
pursuit of the ability to reach the viewer's deep
understanding of the artist's linguistic.
Therefore it seems only natural that it doesn't
take too long before Antonio Pessoa fully accepts
and consequently adopts Wassily Kandinsky as the
undeniable abstractionism pioneer of modern art
and his most reliable model of non- objective
compositions of the twentieth century's global
art scene. Pessoa in his determined desire to
convey emotional or expressive feelings and ideas
without reliance upon or reference to reconizable
objective forms already existing in reality,goes
on throughout the years maintaining this
unbreakable faithful connection with other
abstract modern masters such as Richard
Anuszkiewicz-one of the founders and foremost
exponents of Op Art-Joan Miró's optical
changes,motion configurations and high-intensive
colors,the portuguese Paris-based Vieira da
Silva,Peters Graham and at last but not the
least,of course,Jackson Pollock. Although
theoretically Antonio Pessoa's Romantic Period
was over and out for good in the year 2002,during
the next two years,2003- 2004,already settled in
Barcelona,according to accurate facts the artist
keeps on reporting the same aesthetic content
both in his artworks on canvas and watercolors.
Basically only in the year 2005 he definitely
breaks up with the old traditional fine art
standardized patterns,something now regarded as a
perceptual last conclusion of his past studio
performance and the stand by period of
reflection,a calm lengthy intent consideration
time where propagating beams and rays of a new
wave of art vision began to surpass and out do
the old art expression concepts,thereby making
way for an amazing new line of progressive
contemporary fine art excelling in
colors,motion,visual impact and communication.
Therefore,throughout this aesthetics concept
switch process,Antonio Pessoa's favorites
proceeds in a circle of pure abstract
artists,both the great modern masters pioneers
and the latest contemporary avant-garde. The
meaningful whole according to Pessoa's new
perspective of what art vision today must be
leads him to a determinant continuous judgment
and evaluation concerning a widescreen of the on-
going variety of creative talents,living entity
parallels within his now prototyping selection
suggesting the future of contemporary fine art.
Antonio Pessoa and his closest collaborators and
assistants approach art galleries with growing
curiosity learning on a daily basis with genuine
transparency the outs and abouts of current
abstract art patterns totally disconnecting from
the old figurative symbols and entirely
integrated within the colorful screen which
embody the latest parameters of contemporary
visual arts. One of these graphic significant
examples is Galerie Beeldkracht represented
artist Koos Smit colorful wilderness fine art
excursions,a perfect inspiration for Pessoa's
general perception of his artworks new line.Koos
Smit comes up as an excellent source providing
multiple ideas and possibilities,a well placed
bookmark in his favorites directory. Also
represented by Galerie Beeldkracht,Vania
Pentcheva's dynamics and shapes in our
environment oriented artworks,grabbed Antonio
Pessoa's attention at first sight,raising his
excitement level to the point of considering
immediately Vania Pentcheva's artworks as a
contemporary fine art first rate nominee and a
good magic fuel for him and for all the nowadays
worldwide art scene young talents. Pierre
Fontanals gives me a ring before Christmas on
behalf of Antonio Pessoa asking me to take a look
at the Alphan Gallery home page and check these
artists out. Chris Burnside and Jennifer Burbank.
From his words I immediately knew Pessoa had
discovered another artist of his fancies. Next
day I entered Alphan Gallery's website and there
he was,Chris Burnside amazing juxtapositions
taking little flights in a unique pleasant dreamy
way. I understood right away why Antonio Pessoa
was so enthusiastic about this one. The short but
quality collections of Alphan Gallery also
presenting Jennifer Burbank,were widely obvious
to indeed had become part of Pessoa's preferences
and I should be safe in saying particularly Chris
Burnside had that kind of magic in his artistic
speech Antonio Pessoa simply adores,for his
current art concept had long become for me as
clear as a cloudless sky. Pessoa after dipping
his toe in the colorful pool of contemporary
abstract fine art actually adopted a pleasing way
of making solid sure there is no way back.
Antonio Pessoa's paradigmatic view of a new
reality,much more than a purely theoretical level
of a New Era of contemporary art
expression,forces us to admit a prevailing new
ideology of artistic and emotional answers,a
meaningful consensual dialog between science and
creativity.This means that he has developed a
live vision of a new world of effortless
communication through fine art,now beyond the
limitations of figurative art by entering a
totally empirical interpretation of reality
through abstract constructivism splitting his
fantasy between an impressive collection of
references,preferences and multiple influences.
ART METAPHORS shows us a perfect interior world
where the importance of art as a powerful
communication tool,provides infinite
possibilities by establishing an intimate
relationship between the artist and the worldwide
public. Moreover,Antonio Pessoa's art of
traveling across many of the emerging
contemporary artists concepts illustrates an
image of a remarkable interaction,a genuine
interest in what's goin on,a sharing good natured
open-minded commitment to other artists talent
and work!
