         Fine Arts

Fine Arts,mixed media-collage on canvas,Antonio Pessoa,2007,projects a clear new art expression and communication attitude and of course a personal option in which the artist obviously signs up a definite commitment to the latest contemporary fine art tendencies,plus a steady purpose to be entirely involved in optimizing new versions of the progressive art language of nowadays. This new time and talent updated art action will now be expected to demonstrate Pessoa's increasing quality as a communicator through his classic and traditional fast-paced art action capacity and technical skills. However,the title Fine Arts suggests clearly Antonio Pessoa's personal artistic plans,revealing both his identification with the traditional fine art school and his unquestionable contemporary advanced vision,which may be seen and entirely digested as the artist's specific project right now and also in the long term future,so it seems.Fact! Fine Arts,this assemblage of interesting different forms creating a new whole yet maintaining not only the appearance but also a deep concept of the old masters oil paintings. Agreat admirer of contemporary installations,sculpture,photography and even video and architecture,Antonio Pessoa isn't however quite yet focused on starting transposing his artistic productions into experiencing and experimenting these other fields of contemporary visual arts. Nevertheless as an art expert and full-time art scene observer,Pessoa is inevitably by now highly influenced by all sorts of new avant-garde manifestations as an important redefinition of our times,thereby systematically following and absorbing the whole context of today's artistic innovations thematic features,with the expertise eye on this fascinating contemporary art science and wonderful miscellaneous aesthetic forms of expression. Consequently,Antonio Pessoa's new artworks generally grow significantly aware and motivated by this impressive variety of techniques and media,inspiring him to use this valuable information and natural influences in his latest and upcoming oeuvre. Most importantly,Pessoa strongly believes that any artist should remain faithful to his own convictions,after all the most honorable challenge for any well settled down creative process. Therefore,Antonio Pessoa by building his self- instruction around his own solid convictions,keeps on stumbling upon outstanding lucky artistic discoveries and visual results throughout his passionate art action life and times.Wisely managing his own development and thought,Pessoa persists in the only possible situation.Absolute artistic faithfulness! In a world overloaded with sports and politics,Antonio Pessoa has always been wide aware that art must be definitely emphasised with the public's cumplicity support,as a huge partner in the complex procedure focused on the systematic purpose and effort to give contemporary art a powerful voice worldwide. Pessoa,the artist and always the standing communication fan,leads his lifestyle and manages his energy,expecting something like a brad art boom among the world's population,as just another and yet fantastic tool to provide people with the visual poetry and sense making philosophical items,that interactive dimension which one way or another we all so desperately need in order to keep on going across this mysterious correlation of existence,meaning,freedom and happiness. By thatmeans,Fine Arts - Antonio Pessoa,much more than a painting,a title or even a tandard definition,it's a deep meaningful attitude towards a global project,a new usage,pronunciation,vision and concept of the important role contemporary art should and actually is able to play,as a powerful universal language,an international idiom full of positive.thinking icomic phrases,a whirlwind of true metaphysical substance and genuine humanitarian content and potential. I'm positive it is by now worldwide understood that Antonio Pessoa's project has long ago made its way through the studio walls out into the global concept of a fascinating visionary and humanitarian-minded job. Pessoa's entrepreneurial spirit through the creation of contemporary art operating as a global union and shared motivation mediator,it is after all the real and very true soul of the artist's daily persistent action and efforts. Much more can be siad and it will,a whole lot more can be done and it sure will.Meantime,Antonio Pessoa's Fine Arts project keeps on going as one of the strongest contemporary voices today. It's a given fact and thereby a logical conclusion that the artist's lifestyle is more than ever focused on setting up a stage in which,artists,gallery managers,art collectors and public in general can meet and celebrate one of the most wonderful visions of a new age of art expression supremacy and most importantly fine arts at the service of the dream for a better world,hopefully coming soon. Cheers,Mr.Pessoa!

                   That's Life
 

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship,between the artist and the worldwide art lovers community. I know this has the makings of a good punch line,but it's a good starting point,for whatever is coming up along the communication express on- going stimulating process,concerning the life and Oeuvre of one of the most controversial and unique artists of today's contemporary art times. This is no B movie whatsoever,rather a real- life play,where anything can happen,even the unexpected,unpredictable,unthinkable,unanswered and why not,even the unacceptably unspeakable. So let the dice roll and the show must go on,mysterious,delicious,contemporary, abstract,mystic and Neo-Surrealistic. Day time art studio living or lively night shift wandering,it's just wonderful to know art is being made based upon true facts,meanwhile real-life facts are being put down in words based upon the overview across the realms of artistic imagery. Free expression speech communication provides us once again with the priviledge of being in touch,sharing and exchange criterions of all sorts,tendencies and styles. Most importantly,we are here and now setting the measures of exciting multiple ideas,ideals,concepts and references. Writing and speaking on behalf of a contemporary fine art project,larger than life,and describe what art lovers should know about The Life and Oeuvre of an artist indeed making way for one of the most charming,eclectic and visually awesome art collections in today's artscene ,turns out to be a truly fulfilling and rewarding experience,an exciting daily ritual I certainly wouldn't give up,not even for all the gold in the world. Life is a mysterious adventure for all of us,a wonderful odyssey for many of us who have the pleasurable privilege to be able to enjoy all forms of expression,all forms of art,music,literature,poetry,motion pictures,architecture...and in this particular dimension,visual arts,yet more specifically,contemporary art. And precisely it is in this awesome universe that we are indeed bound to be in touch,able to share and communicate and most importantly looking forward to grow in knowledge,perception,sensitiveness,information,edu cation,culture and artistic erudition. At the contemporary headquarters,Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1,is indeed where everything really happens.Did I say everything? Yes.Everything and anything.Particularly and most important of all within the artist's mind,right where the visualization borns,grows up,gains context and concept and usually takes off like a supersonic idea speeding up across the cybernetic timeless space! Being an artist in today's competitive world requires a whole lot more than self- control,patience,determination,artistic quality,public relations know-how and supreme imagination. As a matter of fact,indeed,one actually has got to be an ultimate genius,particularly when it comes to human resources management,aiming at implementing motivation and the perfect dynamic mindset in everyone,one way or another,among the Project collaborators team. Stimulating and difficult task,at the same time. These days,Antonio Pessoa finds himself in the middle of a truly brainstorming multiple-projects breathtaking challenges full-swing agenda. From San Francisco to Paris,from London to Madrid,his endless list of coworkers contacts and systematic phone ringing interferences,indeed turns out to be a racing unavoidable on-going play on his daily life,providing him with a substantial extra-burden from which inevitably derive scant idyllic moments let alone eventually some headaches to go with. However,in spite of this tension-filled daily- weekly flurry bursts,(what do you know)somehow the artist successfully manages to maintain a pleasurable harmonious atmosphere in his art studio,social life and professional commitments cinematic flux. Definitely,Antonio Pessoa's life could be a quality movie script,always challenging,fascinating,adventurous and new.In the mean time it's rather entertaining and even amusing just to witness the way people continuously respond to his magnet-like positive energy,and particularly witness how he always seems to be living on the edge throughout his eight days a week dynamic working rhythm,managing sooner rather than later to strengthen those whose hearts are fully commited to his multiple projects. That's life,that's the life,that's the larger than life lifestyle! Lately,one of Pessoa's best friends,Boris Dainville,asked him "How much courage does it take to be an artist?".The painter,standing in front of the huge easel,slowly turned around and told him with this childlike enigmatic expression of startled innocence on his face "The question,Boris,is how much courage would it take me not to be one." Remarkable.Fact! Since 1997,when I first met Antonio Pessoa,I've been having the almost preverted privilege to record (and therefore evaluate and consequently report...)amazing episodes,unexpected changes,absolute dillematic crossroads,sometimes turning into a truly nail- biting decision taking struggling urgency,and ending up in yet just another full-swing display of everything-or-nothing spectacular,even unspeakable,love,sweat and tears sort of adventures. Nevertheless,he always did manage to go back to his studio(wherever it might have been at any specific point of his recent past colorful life...) and get down to work once again,totally focused,coming up with new artistic surprises,and most importantly remaining miraculously untraumatized as if nothing had happened.Nothing at all! Boris Dainville,tired of London's full-swing day in day out and social nightlife british gossip,comes once again to spend the weekend with the artist,and in the mean time gets off his chest all that physical and psychological pressure and stress of his current lifestyle circunstances. The both keep each others company,enjoying good conversation as always and in so doing once again establishing their similar outlooks of metropolitan life's pros and cons,existencialism- based black humor fluent literacy,and obviously,modern art,contemporary art,poetry,music,motion pictures,gossip,philosophical frequently asked questions,History,religion and more gossip. Boris loves Antonio Pessoa's latest contemporary fine art series,and sits for hours and hours in a row talking and watching the artist at work,while they go on and on exchanging the most interesting subjects available,still with more gossip updates to go with it. At last,FM Music playing on the cosy restaurant's old 60's radio,it's 8 p.m.,saturday evening,as we have dinner in front of the sea,our visual charming beach bar and grill with a full menu of great mediterranean sea food,after which we enjoy our sunset cocktails,first chatting randomly then inevitably leading to more intimate conversation and at last planning our trip to West Hollywood. However,the artist doesn't seem to share our systematic interest in one of my favorite cities,Los Angeles,let alone leave the comfort of his Home Studio for a ( maybe boring for him... ) cultural calendar in southern California. Antonio Pessoa's Home Studio,always the idyllic fine art cathedral where his intimate friends always seem to be leaving reality behind and enter the world of tomorrow's art fantasy.Fact. That's Life! Antonio Pessoa these days is working on more than twenty canvases simultaneously,let alone the watercolors super-production taking place at his Studio 7. No big deal for the artist,if you ask me.As a matter of fact it seems quite an easy-to-do multi-tasking process for the vital energy generating dynamic studio veteran. Boris Dainville and myself,sunny Sunday afternoon,we take a sit at the artist's Studio 1 as he finishes "That's Life",acrylic on canvas. Another charming symphony of colors,or shall we say,another visual delight symphonic contemporary fine art victory. "That's Life" is obviously reflecting Pessoa's latest full-swing daily-weekly striking motion picture,from his art studio breathtaking performance to his professional commitments overloaded agenda,from his personal life's outs and abouts to the challenging multiple projects he and his brainstorming collaborators from all over Europe,United States and even Latin America,are unquestionably fully commited to and by all means absolutely excited and enthusiastic about. That's Life!That's Antonio Pessoa's colorful and increasingly exciting life at his worldwide performance very best. Eventually breaking traditional patterns,this time it was Boris Dainville who actually came up with the accurate title "That's Life",for this polychromatic polimotion spectacular and even ambiguously entertaining contemporary abstract neo-surrealistic mainstream cutting-edge fine art canvas. Furthermore,I must claim,one of my favorites among the artist's most recent series.My opinion ( as an art critic and art collector ) leading to suggest a special public attention to Pessoa's on- going artistic quality achievements,where the striking visual impact makes a relevant difference between the current average and by all means Antonio Pessoa's unquestionable innovative contemporary new line. That's quality art! That's Life !!!!

                  STUDIO 1
 

Now that the mild mediterranean winter is gone once again the whell of the year has brought the warm air and the sugary smell of springtime,inspiring bursts of colors exploding in the sky then landing in the artist's studio up for a happy display of art sessions as they float down the river of Antonio Pessoa's imagination,the magical springtime creative fuel inspiring wall-size images,gorgeous motions,amazing tales and awesome contemporary fireworks! Now that the hibernation is over the create- criteria is back again,a warm welcome back Mr.Art Magician,after the festive cold December Saturday Nights,it seems we now have a full calendar of live studio performance,the one thing about Pessoa we fortunately can always count on. The artist is once again inspired,motivated and willing to share that gifted talent with others.We expect him to remain rock-solid back in business in order to approach his art magic in better and more powerful ways. So let's take a trip through the world of the charismatic fine art storyteller,meet the man,see his ideas,feel his emotions and enjoy his lastest oeuvre. Welcome my friends to Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1,the space where it's taking place another intensive,unpredictable art action period. The artist's Home Studio is now divided in seven departments,each one of them specially equipped with huge stocks of art material for different specific functions performances.With this plurality of art labs,the artist moves about the mansion,his living and creative domain,a professionally organized art factory,where the upcoming fine art wonders are just about to happen,certainly bound to give birth to another astonishing art collection. That's the life,that's the way to do it,Ladies and Gentlemen,in order to accomplish his traditional , reputable super art production,from drawings to collages,from watercolors to king- size canvases. Here comes the sun and consequently here comes another artistic marathon which surely will culminate in yet another amazing series of striking contemporary artworks. During the year 2007,Antonio Pessoa becomes one of the most reviewed artists in the world,thanks to my spare time retired reporter condition and a very special thank you to Pierre Fontanals,Luis Santiago and Nancy Anderson,just to mention a few,who had the ability to know how to establish and maintain a fantastic teamwork spirit and light atmosphere.Also a very special thank you to the artist for his punctual,regular collaboration concerning our private and group sessions,providing us with truthful and accurate information about his past and current life outs and abouts,plus his remarkable assistance related to helping us to understand and decipher the deep meaning of his huge oeuvre artworks,one by one. Like old valuable manuscripts,translating,interpreting Pessoa's past and current artworks plus rather relevant aspects of his past and current private life,providing exemplary and valuable information to our customers and public,has been and it is always a rather intensive laborious task,let alone putting it all down in words,turning them into easy-digest literature articles aiming at a wide range of art lovers and public in general,which is the final process,however definitely not the easiest one. Since the extravagant golden years of Antonio Pessoa's renown,even mythical and legendary Romantic Period,1997-2202,Studio 1 in the year 2007 succeeded becoming one more time a brand-new version of the late nineties artistic production phenomenon,this time now featuring the positive prominent aspects and best characteristics of a serious full-lengh commitment to a totally original new line of striking contemporary fine art. Financially supported by a list of more than five thousand regular clients,local and international,Antonio Pessoa uses this particular privilege to create totally stress-free,focused on his studio work and most importantly making truly artistic wonders with no negative interferences whatsoever,let alone the highly annoying stigma of worry,rush,hurry and smashing pressure. Therefore,it's been within this pleasurable and relaxing microclimate that the positive atmosphere of Studio 1,gave and gives birth to the most genuine Antonio Pessoa's quality art performance up to now.Fact. 2007 has been a year of great ideas and new accomplishments,increasing the artist's composition level and skills.Most importantly it's been a year throughout which Pessoa has proven to have the proper knowledge,determination and vision to reinforce his style and brand,and in so doing building a general idea and reputation concerning his new oeuvre,the wonderful purity of his contemporary fine art cutting edge. Easy and readable for the average viewer,transparent and impactful for the erudite art-connoisseurs educated taste,in spite of the great amount of mystery and ambiguity,purposefully challenging the eye and the senses with the sweet-bitter flavour of vagueness,that playful misleading multi-defined symbology with a value which arouses our aesthetic pleasure before a specific oeuvre when the boundaries of meaning are indistinct. Still too premature to tell and comment from such a short perspective the extent to which Studio 1 is going to become another mythical historic prodigious phenomenon such as Antonio Pessoa's Romantic Period,we might as well however consider the possibility that this previously explored area,might actually already be moving upwards in such an apparently invisible manner we can't afford to detect,let alone see,for the results haven't quite yet turned out to be unquestionable facts,nevertheless,knowing the artist's creativeness,imagination and power of attraction,one should already safely assume,presume and even take for granted that eventually anything is possible,even our wildest dreams and expectations related with Pessoa's upcoming soon future,no matter how skeptical our worldly common sense tells us our outlook should be. Five breathtaking years have gone by since the last days of the Romantic Period,definitely not an eternity yet a space in time adventurous enough to launch the idea that indeed Antonio Pessoa should be by now a different man from the light cheerful one from those extravagant days of Atlantis. However this concept or evaluation could easily make it sound like the overstatement of the century. In spite of the inevitable facts,priority issues plus the artist's current general situation aren't what they used to be,the man's nature remains intrinsically the same whereas his maturity has developed a trained discernment,inevitably conducting to a substantial body of new and stronger capabilities,a new fundamental inner-self emotional autonomy and obviously a remarkable updated approach to contemporary art expression and communication. The artist's 2007 Timeless Time Art Collection - http://timelesstime-artcollection- ap.blogspot.com - can be used as the most reliable mirror,reflecting,witnessing,reporting and consequently helping us to reinforce this theory and subscribe to this point of view,for it's plenty understood by now that Antonio Pessoa's latest oeuvre has the conspicuous self biographical caliber and attitude of a diary. Paintings such as Universal Time,Free,Out of the Blue,Cosmic Cognition,Spiritual Light,Night Wits,Burning Flame,Living Joy,Night Gospel,etc,show us clearly the artist's full commitment to an evolutionary path for a self discovery therapy intensive apprenticeship. Through this systematic daily ritual focused on exploring health and wellness,self- discipline,personal growth and spiritual power,Antonio Pessoa reaches a dimension of art expression of broad sensorial horizons and consequently attracting and leading the viewers to this wonderful,fulfilling experience,embarking them on the realms of the mind's infinite inner potential. This spiritual transformation steadiness,has been so far the step by step progress to mastery,which made way for a considerable amount of followers willing to share,learn and grow with the available intructing support,tutorials and guidance of Pessoa's knowledge and wisdom. Even some of his pragmatically irrefutable pro- real-life skeptical good old friends such as Ariana Sabugal,Marie Louise Lambert,Carmen Olaya and Marc Gilot,seem to have unconditionally surrendered to the tempting delights and well- being excellent prospects of the artist's spiritual method at last check. Marie Louise Lambert and Marc Gilot after a couple of weeks living in the relaxing peaceful comfort of Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1,went back to Paris with a new outlook of life and most importantly genuinely converted to the Universal Awareness rewarding principles. No big surprise after all.These purifying winds of changes blowing across the artist's life and perception,driving him to looping and swirling into a more relaxed spiritual state,have proven to be the expected prophetic reference featuring an entirely new living formula and lifestyle,opening windows overlooking a freshwater river of freedom,happiness and heavenly joy. Thereby,no wonder that creative visualization,spiritual growth,mind power,free inspiration,turned out to become the essential keys for Antonio Pessoa's increasing personal success,let alone the materialization of one of his most striking quality contemporary fine art series. Striving to provide an affordable alternative to average contemporary art,Antonio Pessoa's approach to developing a totally new concept of abstract fine art came up with brilliant results mainly during the past two years,by creating through spontaneous action art an absolutely free style,in which an impressive traffic of colors and symbols play an important role in providing the viewer with thousands of interpretation options prominently featured like a magic engine,and in so doing the artist manages to pull in a significant immediate steady stream of awesome visual illusions. In spite of going on using the traditional fine art thecnical concept of the great modern masters,Pessoa indeed succeeds creating a cutting- edge innovative visual potential with additional subjective codes,the viewers readily join and enjoy with effortless increasing curiosity,enthusiasm and amusing uncertainty. If Antonio Pessoa - Romantic Period's Studio Atlantis was characterized by an extravagant atmosphere,the soul of a vast scenery of hiper- intensive art performance,modern art- oriented,Studio 1,has been so far cultivating a worldwide attitude and a flamboyant outlook of today's art scene,fact which results flow turned out to be a dynamic on-going project inspired by a strong,impactful contemporary fine art prototype plus an artistic unmistakable stamp and brand. The immense potential of Pessoa's Studio 1, is as yet far from being fully worked out and for a long time to come will have to prove the effectiveness of its intentions,by meeting international specific targets and furthermore be able to understand the demands and timing of a whole new generation of art gallery owners,art collectors,art lovers,media and worldwide public. Studio 1's Project is surfing through multiple waves of fresh ideas and new concepts,not only related with the creation of a relevant new abstract formula of contemporary art but also inspired by Antonio Pessoa's increasing interest in the rewarding process of the discovery of inner self and subconscious mind infinite potential. These and those issues are actually succeeding creating a rather amazing togetherness making way for both a new spiritual vision and the new art vision already an on-going full swing experimentation,which results are by now available for the world's eye throughout the artist's latest series. However unpredictable as life itself,Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1 already highlights an overview into the future,personal methods of extracting innovative artistic and practical solutions,by now stimulated by the public reactions and effects to the artist's latest creative proliferation let alone his quality art expression achievements and striking improvement.

                 Perception
 

Nothing is ever too much,nothing is ever too universal,nothing is ever too wonderful when it comes the time for any art lover to enter Antonio Pessoa's world of Perception,Art,Poetry and Awareness. As in the final countdown,his life has developed the wildest ride of a thrilling cyclone roller coaster,pleasure mixed with Blues,quickly become a firm creative power,one of those that turns you upside-down.If you don't know what it is like to really live on the edge,then take my good advice and start reading all you can about Antonio Pessoa,the most brilliant and thrilling adventure of today's contemporary art scene.Fact! All reviews and information about the artist are essentially a breathtaking unique biography,mixing chills with fun,mixing art with life itself. Danger,passion,intense emotions,blues and Opera,Comedy and Drama,are the face of one of the world's most spectacular cutting edge artists. PERCEPTION? Find the answer to this question and millions more,in this enjoyably dark,yet still very sensual and romantic lifestyle. Straight right up to the tension filled final of every of his artistic and real-life performances,when he will have you on the edge of your emotional box. Perception,acrylic on canvas,Antonio Pessoa 2007,is unquestionably a result of many years of studio art action experience,research and reflection,a brilliant colorful abstract painting where the viewer is face to face with images propagating amazing waves of colors,light and sound being pleasantly thrown to the eye and our senses right from the canvas surface. One of the most charming artworks of Pessoa's 2007 art collection,Perception has that special buzz of excitment,rapid vibration,motion and strong visual impact,yet it's soothing something projects almost a healing energy for mind,body and the eye,inspiring poetic sensations of pure organic fountains,plus that chromatic quality in the whole of its exuberant,abstract,sensuously radiant affinities of colors and symbols. Expressing a new vision and a totally new artistic vocabulary,Perception has that abstract expressionism unique lyrical style,nevertheless also clearly influenced by surrealism,conceptual art,yet never missing the futurism artistic design Pessoa is so fond of,thereby creating that linear decorative dynamic impact,plus a reaction leading to subjective and entirely free interpretation. Regardless of his increasing artistic skills and striking creativeness,Antonio Pessoa becomes more and more popular mainly for his unique lifestyle and his inner-self personal achievements,acquiring world-renown prestige and wide credibility,through the stimulating and rewarding process of how to unlock his full potential for striking artistic performance,personal success and a high quality professional level,becoming his international autograph,the significance of how his impressive fast self-improvement in all areas and attitudes has indeed accelerated his echoing reputation as a fully commited spiritual guide,expert,let alone his highly-respected artistic vision,inner and universal Perception. Paying tribute to him and in faithful recognition of his multiple achievements,close friends,collaborators,art critics,clients,art collectors and soul mates of the fine art trade,now frequently honor him with a natural awestruck approach and genuine admiration. Entering his studio,very often demanding his wise advice,show us clearly how so many people enjoy being in the realms of his glowing positive energy,happy,free,safe and at ease before his charismatic and charming manner in which Pessoa's ambiguous relation with life,people and the Universe,translates a highly advanced Perception,making obvious that living feeling alive is not a special gift or a way of going through life,but actually the only one. Perception,the dream of life creativeness as outcome of Antonio Pessoa's number one priority,it starts in the character of a solid experienced artist,reinforced through daily research in all areas with inspiring enthusiasm,attracting affection,love and respect among all his friends,collaborators and public in general. If indeed Pessoa is helplessly becoming a inevitable life coach,that's not what's at stake right now,for most importantly is the fact he is becoming one of the most inspiring art wizards of today's art scene. Antonio Pessoa's Perception creates clarity and eliminates doubt,invents a higher level of positive motivation,his confidence in himself and in his abilities grow,the artist actually sees what he can be! Often,the hardest thing about visioning is actually having the Perception of what we want to bring into existence can actually be accomplished. To really make it happen,and he sure does,Pessoa supersedes his own doubts and has a sense of certainty that what he wants can be accomplished. The artist on his vision has a faith in Perception that is greater than his fears and it's willing to open his mind to see beyond the confines of what he is facing today.Remarkable,indeed!

        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.

         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.

                   After Midnight
 

Going out,wandering about downtown,walking around and maybe pay Louise Ragot a visit,always that dimlit place,Ragot's Art Deco looking den,of what once breathed like life and love,however now it's just a dimlit den of sorts. Delightful art clocks,Pop Art paintings and the old record player handsomely showcased in the solid wood and veneer cabinet.Fancy! At Ragot's there's always the chance of hearing the door bell ring and one of her After Midnight friends showing up for a free psychotherapy session. Urgent cognitive-behaviour techniques with the After Midnight intervention secret resources of Lady Ragot. Besides the Pop Art small size paintings of her art collection,five oils on canvas signed Antonio Pessoa,(A Pessoa!),among a carefully curated selection of elegantly framed Nude Art photography. It's the new city,the Now town,the After Midnight twilight zone,the time of the eternal open relationships,the kinky preferences network,tasteful mysterious moves,and "professional" lifestyle...bizarre and sometimes even stimulating! Oh my God,the artist told me,that night at 5:30 a.m. he stumbled upon Nadine,a silent night angel,blonde and freezing and dressed to kill.Smashing!She didn't have much to say,so he told me with that peculiar smile on his face.She was like three personalities in one or at least he thought so or maybe that's what she pretended,in a silent ultimate effort to make him believe that behind the apparently dull looking doll there might as well be the inner special one.Give me a break! Furthermore the four things she told him she liked actually sounded absolutely unspeakable.So what?What did he expect? After Midnight,the weird designed ride!When yoy think you actually can do whatever you want...I suppose something the artist always wanted to believe was true. And then,what?The Chinese Restaurant! Pessoa goes in,there's nobody in the big exotic room but the cook...it's almost 6 a.m. and he tells him "Too late,we close,no,we no see girl of yours,no more ask please..." Another bar,and he told me later what had just crossed his mind.True love!Sometimes you know it the instant you see it across the bar.However,and I truly believe him,there was no one there but the same old bald wrinkled bartender. Really amazing,inspiring awesome surrealism. After all,it seems After Midnight's twilight zone can set his imagination free.Blind faith,I told him,because thinking is hard.However,the artist was already aware of it... Time goes by. So here comes the night,here comes the night once again,the After Midnight express entering the Twilight Zone one more time. Tonight ( must be Wednesday,Thursday...or even Friday...who cares...),James Babel,one of the artist's regular art dealers is off to Madrid with no paintings in and no joy,Boris Dainville is breaking no news from London town and Louise Ragot is nowhere to be seen,let alone reached. Antonio Pessoa tells me over the phone about his "nerve-shattering" negotiations (in a manner of speaking ) with Maxwell Armstrong and Sylvia Abbot. He tells me sometimes he feels he would be better off living in the tropical Canary Islands for good,after telling the whole godforsaken art business to get lost. I know he is just overreacting ,he says it but doesn't mean it...or at least deep down inside I still don't believe he has reached that point of absolute detachment to actually say goodbye,so long,I've had it,that dit it and flip-flop and fly away. He tells me yesterday night he didn't feel like going off to bed,so he went out for another After Midnight real-life explorer delicious Let's- see-what-Happens ride on his own. After a while driving around he goes to the Meditation Center,managed by Bala Mani,an indian art collector,a wealthy prematurely retired businessman from New Delhi who decided to spend the rest of his life providing others with the wisdom and knowledge of Universal Awareness and Silent Meditation. One of the After Midnight available spots the artist loves the most. Open twenty four hours a day,it provides emotional-support for anyone willing to experience the mindfullness well-being with the powerful inspiring easy-to-do methods of deep spiritual relaxation and cosmic insight. Martin Faber introduces Bala Mani to the artist back in 2004,during his second art show in Chicago,IL.However only in the past two years Antonio Pessoa becomes seriously involved and emotionally ready and motivated to fully commit himself to the wonderful universe of inner-self discovery through meditation daily sessions and self-disciplined rituals. Bala Mani also becomes one of the artist's regular clients,acquiring on a monthly basis a significant amount of his latest New Era contemporary artworks,furthermore coming up with the concept Timeless Time,which indeed turned out to become the title of Pessoa's most recent art productions. Antonio Pessoa reaches his Universal Awareness inner-self discovery, Supreme Meditation interest,passion and commitment apotheosis,thereby giving birth to amazing contemporary fine art wonders such as "Night Gospel", "Living Joy" , "The Belief Generator" , "Spiritual Light " , "Free" , "Night Wits " , "Intuition " , "Mind Explorer ", "Perception "...just to mention a few. It makes perfect sense the obvious association of Bala Mani with the artist's subject mutation,definitely for much better,very particularly in visual abstract neo-surrealistic quality. In spite of the fact that After Midnight doesn't substantially belong to the fine art series of Spiritual Enlightenment - oriented Oeuvre,yet,it is nevertheless inspired by a similar persistent response at this highly emotional relation with life...or in this particular painting...with nightlife metamorphic sensorial metaphysics,definitely the role of a wandering poet across the perceptive mystery of the night time city outdoors. It's Saturday Night,the Queen of nightlife,and tonight I keep the artist company,while we talk about his latest artworks. Actually,I have little interest in the After Midnight scene,but my main motivation is to be as much as possible with the artist,my friend and my work's leading role actor. Being thirty two years older than him doesn't seem to be important.It never did and it never will.On the contrary,our chemistry is incresingly reaching perfection. We have some chinese for starters,that same exotic restaurant downtown,at a specific time when we are the only "innocent bystanders",enjoying our privacy and talking mainly about art and life.In the mean time we both seem to be making the most of the great cuisine selection randomly displayed all over the round table. Spring rolls,Shu Mai dumplings with pork ans shrimp,Egg Custard tarts,Chicken Chop Suey,Zodiac noodles,Won Ton soup,Har Gau...Wow!!!! It seems that the restaurant's owner whole family (but the cook...) are starring at us from the far end of the insence smelling exoctic temple.They don't laugh,they don't smile,they don't talk...just standing still starring at us with this blank,emotionless expression on their marble skin faces.Fair enough.I love the Oriental way,so does Pessoa. Antonio Pessoa is definitely a different man after midnight hour.In my opinion the city's nightlife provides him with an alternate outlook of existence metaphysics.More non-material,rather sensual,abandonely relaxed,almost deliciously blue-mooded in his glamorous lonesome way.A peculiar contrast but true.

                  STUDIO 1
 

Now that the mild mediterranean winter is gone once again the whell of the year has brought the warm air and the sugary smell of springtime,inspiring bursts of colors exploding in the sky then landing in the artist's studio up for a happy display of art sessions as they float down the river of Antonio Pessoa's imagination,the magical springtime creative fuel inspiring wall-size images,gorgeous motions,amazing tales and awesome contemporary fireworks! Now that the hibernation is over the create- criteria is back again,a warm welcome back Mr.Art Magician,after the festive cold December Saturday Nights,it seems we now have a full calendar of live studio performance,the one thing about Pessoa we fortunately can always count on. The artist is once again inspired,motivated and willing to share that gifted talent with others.We expect him to remain rock-solid back in business in order to approach his art magic in better and more powerful ways. So let's take a trip through the world of the charismatic fine art storyteller,meet the man,see his ideas,feel his emotions and enjoy his lastest oeuvre. Welcome my friends to Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1,the space where it's taking place another intensive,unpredictable art action period. The artist's Home Studio is now divided in seven departments,each one of them specially equipped with huge stocks of art material for different specific functions performances.With this plurality of art labs,the artist moves about the mansion,his living and creative domain,a professionally organized art factory,where the upcoming fine art wonders are just about to happen,certainly bound to give birth to another astonishing art collection. That's the life,that's the way to do it,Ladies and Gentlemen,in order to accomplish his traditional , reputable super art production,from drawings to collages,from watercolors to king- size canvases. Here comes the sun and consequently here comes another artistic marathon which surely will culminate in yet another amazing series of striking contemporary artworks. During the year 2007,Antonio Pessoa becomes one of the most reviewed artists in the world,thanks to my spare time retired reporter condition and a very special thank you to Pierre Fontanals,Luis Santiago and Nancy Anderson,just to mention a few,who had the ability to know how to establish and maintain a fantastic teamwork spirit and light atmosphere.Also a very special thank you to the artist for his punctual,regular collaboration concerning our private and group sessions,providing us with truthful and accurate information about his past and current life outs and abouts,plus his remarkable assistance related to helping us to understand and decipher the deep meaning of his huge oeuvre artworks,one by one. Like old valuable manuscripts,translating,interpreting Pessoa's past and current artworks plus rather relevant aspects of his past and current private life,providing exemplary and valuable information to our customers and public,has been and it is always a rather intensive laborious task,let alone putting it all down in words,turning them into easy-digest literature articles aiming at a wide range of art lovers and public in general,which is the final process,however definitely not the easiest one. Since the extravagant golden years of Antonio Pessoa's renown,even mythical and legendary Romantic Period,1997-2202,Studio 1 in the year 2007 succeeded becoming one more time a brand-new version of the late nineties artistic production phenomenon,this time now featuring the positive prominent aspects and best characteristics of a serious full-lengh commitment to a totally original new line of striking contemporary fine art. Financially supported by a list of more than five thousand regular clients,local and international,Antonio Pessoa uses this particular privilege to create totally stress-free,focused on his studio work and most importantly making truly artistic wonders with no negative interferences whatsoever,let alone the highly annoying stigma of worry,rush,hurry and smashing pressure. Therefore,it's been within this pleasurable and relaxing microclimate that the positive atmosphere of Studio 1,gave and gives birth to the most genuine Antonio Pessoa's quality art performance up to now.Fact. 2007 has been a year of great ideas and new accomplishments,increasing the artist's composition level and skills.Most importantly it's been a year throughout which Pessoa has proven to have the proper knowledge,determination and vision to reinforce his style and brand,and in so doing building a general idea and reputation concerning his new oeuvre,the wonderful purity of his contemporary fine art cutting edge. Easy and readable for the average viewer,transparent and impactful for the erudite art-connoisseurs educated taste,in spite of the great amount of mystery and ambiguity,purposefully challenging the eye and the senses with the sweet-bitter flavour of vagueness,that playful misleading multi-defined symbology with a value which arouses our aesthetic pleasure before a specific oeuvre when the boundaries of meaning are indistinct. Still too premature to tell and comment from such a short perspective the extent to which Studio 1 is going to become another mythical historic prodigious phenomenon such as Antonio Pessoa's Romantic Period,we might as well however consider the possibility that this previously explored area,might actually already be moving upwards in such an apparently invisible manner we can't afford to detect,let alone see,for the results haven't quite yet turned out to be unquestionable facts,nevertheless,knowing the artist's creativeness,imagination and power of attraction,one should already safely assume,presume and even take for granted that eventually anything is possible,even our wildest dreams and expectations related with Pessoa's upcoming soon future,no matter how skeptical our worldly common sense tells us our outlook should be. Five breathtaking years have gone by since the last days of the Romantic Period,definitely not an eternity yet a space in time adventurous enough to launch the idea that indeed Antonio Pessoa should be by now a different man from the light cheerful one from those extravagant days of Atlantis. However this concept or evaluation could easily make it sound like the overstatement of the century. In spite of the inevitable facts,priority issues plus the artist's current general situation aren't what they used to be,the man's nature remains intrinsically the same whereas his maturity has developed a trained discernment,inevitably conducting to a substantial body of new and stronger capabilities,a new fundamental inner-self emotional autonomy and obviously a remarkable updated approach to contemporary art expression and communication. The artist's 2007 Timeless Time Art Collection - http://timelesstime-artcollection- ap.blogspot.com - can be used as the most reliable mirror,reflecting,witnessing,reporting and consequently helping us to reinforce this theory and subscribe to this point of view,for it's plenty understood by now that Antonio Pessoa's latest oeuvre has the conspicuous self biographical caliber and attitude of a diary. Paintings such as Universal Time,Free,Out of the Blue,Cosmic Cognition,Spiritual Light,Night Wits,Burning Flame,Living Joy,Night Gospel,etc,show us clearly the artist's full commitment to an evolutionary path for a self discovery therapy intensive apprenticeship. Through this systematic daily ritual focused on exploring health and wellness,self- discipline,personal growth and spiritual power,Antonio Pessoa reaches a dimension of art expression of broad sensorial horizons and consequently attracting and leading the viewers to this wonderful,fulfilling experience,embarking them on the realms of the mind's infinite inner potential. This spiritual transformation steadiness,has been so far the step by step progress to mastery,which made way for a considerable amount of followers willing to share,learn and grow with the available intructing support,tutorials and guidance of Pessoa's knowledge and wisdom. Even some of his pragmatically irrefutable pro- real-life skeptical good old friends such as Ariana Sabugal,Marie Louise Lambert,Carmen Olaya and Marc Gilot,seem to have unconditionally surrendered to the tempting delights and well- being excellent prospects of the artist's spiritual method at last check. Marie Louise Lambert and Marc Gilot after a couple of weeks living in the relaxing peaceful comfort of Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1,went back to Paris with a new outlook of life and most importantly genuinely converted to the Universal Awareness rewarding principles. No big surprise after all.These purifying winds of changes blowing across the artist's life and perception,driving him to looping and swirling into a more relaxed spiritual state,have proven to be the expected prophetic reference featuring an entirely new living formula and lifestyle,opening windows overlooking a freshwater river of freedom,happiness and heavenly joy. Thereby,no wonder that creative visualization,spiritual growth,mind power,free inspiration,turned out to become the essential keys for Antonio Pessoa's increasing personal success,let alone the materialization of one of his most striking quality contemporary fine art series. Striving to provide an affordable alternative to average contemporary art,Antonio Pessoa's approach to developing a totally new concept of abstract fine art came up with brilliant results mainly during the past two years,by creating through spontaneous action art an absolutely free style,in which an impressive traffic of colors and symbols play an important role in providing the viewer with thousands of interpretation options prominently featured like a magic engine,and in so doing the artist manages to pull in a significant immediate steady stream of awesome visual illusions. In spite of going on using the traditional fine art thecnical concept of the great modern masters,Pessoa indeed succeeds creating a cutting- edge innovative visual potential with additional subjective codes,the viewers readily join and enjoy with effortless increasing curiosity,enthusiasm and amusing uncertainty. If Antonio Pessoa - Romantic Period's Studio Atlantis was characterized by an extravagant atmosphere,the soul of a vast scenery of hiper- intensive art performance,modern art- oriented,Studio 1,has been so far cultivating a worldwide attitude and a flamboyant outlook of today's art scene,fact which results flow turned out to be a dynamic on-going project inspired by a strong,impactful contemporary fine art prototype plus an artistic unmistakable stamp and brand. The immense potential of Pessoa's Studio 1, is as yet far from being fully worked out and for a long time to come will have to prove the effectiveness of its intentions,by meeting international specific targets and furthermore be able to understand the demands and timing of a whole new generation of art gallery owners,art collectors,art lovers,media and worldwide public. Studio 1's Project is surfing through multiple waves of fresh ideas and new concepts,not only related with the creation of a relevant new abstract formula of contemporary art but also inspired by Antonio Pessoa's increasing interest in the rewarding process of the discovery of inner self and subconscious mind infinite potential. These and those issues are actually succeeding creating a rather amazing togetherness making way for both a new spiritual vision and the new art vision already an on-going full swing experimentation,which results are by now available for the world's eye throughout the artist's latest series. However unpredictable as life itself,Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1 already highlights an overview into the future,personal methods of extracting innovative artistic and practical solutions,by now stimulated by the public reactions and effects to the artist's latest creative proliferation let alone his quality art expression achievements and striking improvement.

       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!

             Expreso
 

Antonio Pessoa La Obra Maestrra Antonio Pessoa surge con un nuevo y interesante concepto de organización estructural,un programa en el que el objetivo general se basa más que todo en una composición funcional asociada a un procedimiento de naturaleza estratégica,acción y efectos.Un estudio avanzado cuyo objectivo principal se basa en el desarrollo y en un sistema de promoción y en una conducta inspirada en un trabajo de equipo bastante dinámico en que el cumplimiento de una misión artistica,comunicativa y universal parece ser una dirección interesante como para sacar adelante un exitoso plan efectivo en el mercado del arte contemporáneo. Vicente Fernandez Lago,administrador de la obra del artista,un ejemplar mecenas de nuestros tiempos,sigue siendo un clásico indiscutible,que apesar de sus multiples discursos,ensayos y conferencias,sigue cumpliendo con el alma de este proyecto,muy a menudo sacudiendo el mundo;sin embargo su confianza y esperanza de seguir contando con un artista de legítimos fines y decidida entrega como es el caso de Antonio Pessoa,le hacen mantener firme siguiendo cursando estudios sobre las últimas innovaciones y tendencias del arte contemporáneo y en especial del progreso tecnológico,estratégico y mediático,como para apoyar los primeros pasos que pueden hacer caminos,abrir vias,si se persiste en una acción por distintos frentes,en un tortuoso e intricado afán de ejercer una dinámica estratégia de inspiración universal...que no perturbe a Dios...y mucho menos al artista! Apurado,a caballo y a galope,entre las Mil y Una Noches y las mil y una cosas,mecenas Vicente Fernandez Lago,a pesar de su libre soltura personal responsable del pensamiento imaginativo sin olvidar sus atributos emprendedores,imaginar el dolor de la aventura trascendental y algo complicada del proyecto Antonio Pessoa,muy probablemente de alguna forme le hace inclinar y acoger con cierto escepticismo cada nuevo montaje de Antonio Pessoa,especialmente cuando se levanta el telón y el panorama que se presenta,aunque interesante y espectacular,más bien le puede parecer una versión beta de las visicitudes de Colón para montar la expedición del Descubrimiento de América. ¡Vaya,ni tanto ni tan poco! De hecho no es para tanto. De todas formas la buena noticia es que de hecho al fin y al cabo,Vicente Fernandez Lago,intimamente como minimo,celebra la grandeza que se avecina,mientras su espíritu se alegra ante la idea de lanzar al mercado del arte contemporáneo universal,a través de un programa de excelente producción artistica,inspiración politica y administración dinámica,la obra suigeneris del suigeneris artista. Un nuevo modelo de operación global llamado Obra Maestra,el cual se puede resumir en cinco palabras...sin ningún contratiempo en absoluto. Producción,organización,acción,revelación,consagra ción. Anunciar a los coleccionistas de arte contemporáneo la buena noticia es ahora mismo el alma y el cuerpo de un espíritu y de un espacio de trabajo de equipo que se va ganando sudandomientras el movimiento se demuestra andando. Los criterios éticos de la relación entre Vicente Fernandez Lago y Antonio Pessoa es como para salir cámara en mano y verlos a enfrentar las más variables oscilaciones de la intemperie. Una alegria grande,inconfundible,una cosa de cine,para todas las edades y para todo el público. Buenos y extraordinarios amigos en la vida surrealista,abstracta y en el aire del arte contemporáneo. Ahora mismo casi toda la gente parece haberse dado cuenta de la buena quínica que se ha producido,por eso el anuncio llega ya envuelto por el carisma al estilo de los conquistadores. ¡ La Imaginación lo es todo! Antonio Pessoa Agenda Vicente Fernandez Lago y Antonio Pessoa se concentran an los detalles de base como para tanto uno como el otro lograr rapidamente una estabilidad anímica de forma a sacar adelante lo que según todas las probabilidades va a ser uno de los proyectos artisticos contemporáneos más fascinantes y estimulantes tanto para ellos y sus colaboradores,como para las galerias de arte de primera división,coleccionistas de arte de reputación mundial sin olvidar todos los eruditos aficionados y amantes de las artes plásticas. Este es el punto intermedio entre la resignación y el éxito.Es sabido que la resignación mata el corazón mientras no hay mayor esperanza que el éxito en el objetivo más apreciado. Escuelas que piensan,Nación que aprende,indiscutuble sabiduria tiene este refrán,ya que muy lejos de tratarse de ciencia ficción,abarca una metodologia de trabajo de equipo urgente y absolutamente imprescindible a la hora de cortar el hipo de la esperanza sin llama ni fama. Hablando de proyectos,parece ser más y más evidente para todo el mundo que el enorme impacto de las últimas obras de Pessoa,según la línea más contemporánea y dinámica del artista hasta ahora, refleja una sabia gestión del cambio visual que puede gravitar en el futuro como una nueva generación de modelos plásticos de enorme capacidad inventiva y innovadora. Indudablemente,la perspectiva ahora mismo indica que en su conjunto llegara a ser más creadora,imaginativa y notablemente más popular y mediática que la única y magnánima producción artistica de la Época Romántica,1997-2002. Por consiguiente no es dificil adivinar de que la bueanaventura del Proyecto compartido entre Vicente Fernandez Lago y Antonio Pessoa,depende sobremanera de todo un incentivo cuyo objectivo es impulsar el espíritu inventivo y las capacidades técnicas del artista y experto en arte,de forma a que se conviertan en soluciones y proyectos de acción concreta,una actividad en la que la cuestión de ingenio,creatividad,desarrollo y merecido reconocimiento universal,solo eso puede hacer con que el mecenas del artista logre finalmente cobrar los derechos de todos sus esfuerzos hasta ahora,generando valor para este equipo de dos amigos,cumplices y profesionales,que alcanzará hasta lo imposible una vez llegada la hora en que los dos personajes de la historia establezcan una línea de conducta,estratégia y comunicación,asegurando el éxito de una operación que a lo largo de la última década ha atendido a más de 4.000 coleccionistas de arte y ha logrado una envidiable autonomia en el apasionante potencial del mercado de arte de la Península. Afortunadamente,al contrario de hace diez años ya no se trata tanto de hacer de las tripas corazón,sino de la consciencia global del mundo del arte contemporáneo,el cumplimiento esencial de toda una operación y su puesta en marcha. Vicente Fernandez Lago,reafirmando publicamente de que se divierte tanto como para invertir diez años de su vida,tiempo y energia en la promoción de la obra de Antonio Pessoa,de ninguna manera su épico carisma de líder,mecenas,marchante,relaciones públicas y administrador de toda la plástica del artista,le hace olvidar un camino abierto,un importante y ya consagrado hecho en diversas áreas,sin embargo también dandose cuenta de que mucho ha cambiado,afortunadamente para mejor,pero un panorama distinto en que el concepto de circulación internacional ha ganado suficiente credibilidad como para programar nuevas páginas en la agenda. Por consiguiente,pensar y debatir responsable y libremente,asi es como Vicente Fernandez Lago y su artista visualizan proyectos presentes y futuros como algo prioritario,um amplio abanico de posibilidades que vale la pena actualizar,aplicar,concretar y por supuesto,disfrutar. El mecenas del artista de la Nueva Era,desde hace cinco años ha adoptado el camino de las nuevas tecnologias ofreciendo a su equipo de colaboradores nuevas formas de personalizar la promoción de la obra de Pessoa,dando la bienvenida a nuevas y fantásticas opciones relacionadas al tema de nuevas ideas,conceptos y estratégias,como fundamentos imprescindibles de este proyecto artístico,peninsular,europeo,universal,a sabiendas de que el plan de acción para el siglo XXI,mucho más que atraer a determinados sistemas de acceso dentro del panorama artistico internacional,ya esboza recursos avanzados según la vanguardia cultural y inevitablemente comercial. Si desde el año 2005 la obra de Pessoa ha empezado a vibrar de una forma más que inesperada,espectacularmente impactante,sorprendente dentro de una línea de narración plástica donde más que el mensaje,existe indudablemente un mayor grado de sabiduria visual comunicativa cuya preocupación primordial de expresión artistica ha resultado en un relato muy bien escrito a través de una excelente apuesta en las emociones y en los sentimientos,entablando una conversación Arte- Público,logros de un sexto sentido experimentado que ahora mismo se convirtio en una pelicula de inspiración totalmente contemporánea y hasta futurista,llena de magia y de fuerza,que desconcierta por la falta de lógica,sin embargo que logra sacar a la luz el más representativo triunfo del fenómeno fascinante del misterio del universo interior,alcanzando el alma del enigma humano emocional,a través de un llamativo juego de colores,formas y de un prominente teatro de energia en movimiento y sobre lienzo. Asi que, mientras Antonio Pessoa se adentra y se calienta en un viaje a los confines del universo de la super producción artistica una vez más,Vicente Fernandez Lago,el gran meteorito de la acelerada expansión internacional del artista,manifiesta el impulso de la energia de alguien que tiene ahora mismo un encuentro predestinado con un gigantesco proyecto,un desafio estimulante,una promesa de una perspectiva cada vez más exitosa,sin embargo un juego algo complicado,donde la precisión estratégica,gestión del espacio vital y del tiempo,ampliando horizontes y superando múltiples incertidumbres y obstáculos significativos,sigue haciendo parte de su crecimiento personal como uno de los baluartes indiscutibles de la lirica,empirica y politica promoción artistica internacional,aprendizaje que le coloca finalmente en uno u otro rol y en una u otra esfera del complejo entramado que constituye el mundo de célere y asentado prestigio del arte contemporáneo.

        Antonio Pessoa
 
            New Line

Oh,my God!He did it again!He walks again along the boulevard of contemporary art's cutting edge,bouncing with vigorous invention,far beyond the bounds of expected reasonable possibilities,now coming up with this astonishing autogenesis,charming and wonderfully absurd,screaming colors disturbing the standardized patterns of the on-going tendencies,resembling some sort of special effects sensational circus number,a striking explosion of raging artistic headlines,whatever,shockwaves of hiper chromatic flash,loud and sustained,shrill and piercing,animated gifts switching to moving thingies,or so it seems,downright overwhelming for any tolerant viewer's eyes,like mustard mix with reddish and a whole lot of stripes! Narrative powders,striking impressions all over this tempting flavors shocking shimmery festival! Should the present approach be viewed as a first step towards obtaining universal recognition or must this be interpreted as the historic golden keys to open the doors to the seven templates before divine madness? Antonio Pessoa's maddening prodigy of composition,promising artistic isotopic lunacy,colors entering the canvas like a visual adaptation on some Stanley Kubrick conceptual orgy,or a Steven Spielberg script digitized and reconstructed in a indelibly haunting endlessly fascinating gallery of adhesive transitions,gorgeous enigmatic sentences projecting a strong imperative impact where the required invisible final touch seems long gone to have turned into an intoxicating encore of purposefully passionate variations of wild art action super color magic velocity. Cognitive materials at every crossroad continue as if it has always been there without even the grinding artistic percussion,building up to break down,enter and exit in such a general contrasting visual effect only an artist like Pessoa could possibly come up with.Too much of too much,indeed!Lovely. Antonio Pessoa does it in such a unique way that as far as I am concerned,New Line seems to have no links with any contemporary art current references whatsoever.Daring and new the artist once again proves to be the unquestionable cutting edge of today's art scene. A free man and an independent eccentric art maker,ecclectic in his glamorous lifestyle and proud of his wealthy creativity,provides us systematically with artistic real-time news,as in New Line,more unusual than ever,the pretty boy of today's big time art collectors,invisible to the average citizen yet a growing public phenomenon,Pessoa claims a new area of emotion- oriented fine art,in which the resulting visual effects link him to the top conceptual creators of the new age by laying out the notion that the possibility to accomplish the impossible is merely the beginning of a long-term artistic strategic context and most importantly an artistic wide range communicative attitude. The overpricing of initial art dealers offerings this year,has developed a new somewhat unexpected information concerning Antonio Pessoa's latest oeuvre.His nineties Romantic Period artworks adjustment was therefore inevitable,creating the proper balance,moreover extraordinary results not only in the artist's finantial status but on the whole improving his collaborators team working machine,plus a significant enthusiasm in public relations,spreading fast,as an interchange of fluent dynamics,that degree of global evaluation that appear to occur,very often creating conflicts and contradictions between Antonio Pessoa and the art market coverage areas and promotion campaign that in reality means little or nothing for the artist,at least from his private assumption and his personal outlook of the global context related to the art scene general and sometimes obscure outs and abouts. The hyperconfident Antonio Pessoa astounds with his ability to express directly to the viewers his artistic science,just to turn his back to the tedious art market oscillations,as a good chance and excellent excuse to go back to his studio comfort,exploring the sectors of life he enjoys the most. Despite Pessoa's latest artistic preferences and even model references such as Eugene Brands,represented by Elisabeth den Bieman Dehass,Jacques Bage,Arnold Niessen and Anne Vignal,their artworks available at Galerie Blom,Niklas Anderberg,Robert Brandy,Mario Morunti,plus the amazing Gerard Hendriks,if I'm not mistaken represented by Gallery Chicory...the artist however seems to be moving towards a much more advanced research of what contemporary art can,should be and indeed is,accomplishing its most dominant exuberance and distinguished innovation in the spontaneous cutting edge ideas such as New Line. Antonio Pessoa's sustainable artistic maturity and trajectory,despite being now and then eventually favored at the expense of other artists,such as Chris Berens,Dorien Plaat,Richard Smeets,Joan Miró,Pollock,Harrie Gerritz and Klaas Gubbels,on the whole he is essentially far more original by embracing a awesome new way of art expression where the dominant theme and nature is unquestionably his colors unrestrained movements,perhaps frequently with excessive exuberance,although wisely mitigated by his outstanding drawing skills and composition unique possibilities,another dominant significance highlighting the progress of his imagination grandeur and inevitably seeking to enforce the general public concept of what contemporary expression should be as part of today's world actions and reactions. The evaluation and significance of hyperchromatic New Line,should after all be left to the personal judgement of the viewer,like an overpigmented fine art atlas,a subjective document where the eye and perception increase their depth of focus and interpretation. If the artist's intention was indeed to create art-abstract with suggestive keywords or hidden messages or even,shall we say,top classified information,theoretically that could stand for a tricky way of harmless playful perversion,meant to inhibit the viewer diagnosis and in so doing forcing a further challenge to the brain cells or a double focused approach on the look out for a suitable meaning possibly present somewhere across the different components of such a nutritious composition. This balanced weighing up of evidence and meaningful content might be as well Antonio Pessoa's need of hope to challenge the viewer attempt to collect some self-reflection using the painting as a mirror,like a wall art made to test the viewer's capacity to exercise introspection or otherwise,to transcend the philosophical limits and thereby start questioning the artist's intentions,secret profile. What one can feel and do before this intense color traffic jam is one of the interesting adventures any art lover can come across,standing still in a crowded art show opening night,or at the home-sweet-home privacy as any serious art collector should. My educated intuition and viewpoint whisper in my ear that very probably,knowing the artist as I actually do,that the law of attraction - even dismissed the ultimate need for scientific proof - might as well be playing an interesting role as far as this masterpiece titled New Line is concerned. So it might happen that indeed Antonio Pessoa's dominant thought during the making of New Line,was actually telling him that he attracts into his oeuvre reputation whatever he thinks about.This subliminal message might have been the hypnotic motivation I know he has,that the wholesome of his latest and upcoming oeuvre should and must attract the New Line of art collectors.What do you know! For so very often without sharpness of edge or point Antonio Pessoa art expression can be as direct and outspoken,some other times the artist takes the opposite option,not led by any circumstances changes,but as a delicious solution for a specific artistic strategy,delivered free,nevertheless keeping for himself a whole great stock of valuable explanations and most importantly a relevant amount of private classified information. And that's as much out in the open the artist's inner self configuration manual goes. The artistic impact hides the undiscovered master of art fiction,a dimension of privacy not even celebrity interviews nor steady gossip manage to guess let alone figure out what's behind the New Line!

Antonio Pessoa's latest artistic discoveries,mainly Holland based artists such as Peter Jansen,André Schweers,Robert Terwindt,Harrie Gerritz,Klaas Gubbels,Chris Berens,Emilio Kruithof,Dorien Plaat,Peter Schenk,Rob Scholte,Richard Smeets and surprise,surprise,even former dutch rock star Herman Brood,now coming up with amazing artworks,seem to have been the summarized inspiration for the making and conclusion of Visual Arts,acrylic on canvas,2007. Visual Arts is unquestionably about bringing out his admiration for an excellent selection of artists with enough art expression equivalencies with his new line of work. Antonio Pessoa is clearly proud to celebrate his new artistic discoveries from around the world,and very particularly Holland,by offering us a charming painting in the style and direction of his new artistic discoveries. At the same time as Pessoa describes analogous artistic formulas,he as always goes on and on convincingly making his new contemporary fine art claims all the more persuasive and globally significant. Genuinely interested in arts and specifically in other artists,Antonio Pessoa art performance with each turn encounters a substantial wide range of natural and spontaneous inspiration sources placing a strong emphasis on helping public,art lovers and art collectors,develop an easy going viewflow and deep understanding process that will definitely give them the necessary stimulus and new art vision to actually continue making their general interest grow with heightening heroism reaching the wise focus point where art creators and potential art collectors meet for a contemporary visual arts celebration,communication and neo-Renaissance. Back in business and falling into a fertile contemporary art formula,Antonio Pessoa in Visual Arts embraces and accomplishes the truly essential mode d'emploi to one of the most vibrant art expressions we are pleased to witness in the twenty first century's first decade. Here is the honest,emotional,intimate visual narrative of a passionate contemporary art explorer named Antonio Pessoa,as the outstanding master of creativity of today's art scene. Well focused on the creation of works which are primarily visual in nature,adopting other artists talents as a tool,Antonio Pessoa not only becomes more and more an important reference but also a contemporary talisman to the current and upcoming art collectors worldwide community. Using almost academic content standards in Visual Arts,Pessoa nevertheless succeeds accomplishing the high point of visual transformations,registering striking new techniques,as a result of a wide knowledge,experience,talent and intuitive training,creating systematic visual keywords associations and thereby emphasizing new concepts of contemporary fine art,continuously exploring all possibilities for new answers,displaying new versions plus encouraging unexpected perspectives in perfect accordance with his advanced cultural viewpoint and therefore adressing an exciting pictography outreaching a privileged quality level from which he takes off to explore and nurture the relationship between contemporary visual arts and public. Contemporary and innovative,Pessoa's interior living fire designs and builds the opportunity for all of us to find and share a new stylish face of fine art cruise travel,so to speak. An artist-led not for finantial profit but to promote a genuine and heartfelt access to a brand- new art expression environment and universal profile,Antonio Pessoa's alternative research does actually afford one of the most exciting lines of contemporary wall art paintings so very much in tune with the new generation of art collectors demand,in the public realm and definitely in the significance of place and context of today's art scene most enjoyable and brightest side. Celebrating the here and now dynamic times,yet fully appreciated in the canon of traditional modern art,Antonio Pessoa actively collects a broad challenging range of formulas,mediums and languages,thereby curating a unique metaphoric imagery skillfully combined and extensively responding to the latest contemporary methodologies. VISUAL ARTS,making connections between fine art and other,shall we say,disciplines,leads us once again to the highest achievement of understanding the perfect sense and the inevitable relation between modern art History and contemporary culture. Pessoa's conceptual innovations and their role in the making of his New Era creative expression stamp now through the Timeless Time Art Collection,leads us and takes us to an advanced level of sharp interesting references in all areas of what contemporary art is actually meant to be and furthermore to become.A new curriculum of suggestions,identifying knowledge and broad communication resources,even a new artistic education global reform,something which is being sought as an urgent potential of new ideas along with thousands of other supporting worldwide shared motivations and priorities,specifically and very particularly given that the connection lines between artists,art galleries and art collectors or even public in general have now reached a no way back universal consensus where the correlation after all has turned out to be a whole creative trading community,in shared content,interests,events,in the thinking critically process,the now and next generation engine already expecting a new course of influence,outlook,an art performance incorporated in the new values of quality,visual poetry,demonstrating how current lifestyle,today's world times,culture and visual arts can influence each other in making the abstract yet simplified manner of global perfect togetherness actually come true,safe and sound,for good. VISUAL ARTS,the untroubled kingdom of abstract reason,a land of intuitive make-believe,a motion pictures domain of contemporary discourse,here is where we enter the region of art magic by the hands,mastery and imagination of Antonio Pessoa's cosmic realm. Pure art color magic,one of the most exciting fantasy delivery by the mastery of an artist who keeps on showing the world how to draw patterns,use color and select dynamic fine art ,improving enormously his artistic speech,language skills,all so well combined in order to provide a rich and rewarding continuous evolution to contemporary art expression,characterized by a liberal amount of out in the open emotions,when apparently the first visual impact is that of a circus of decoration spread throughout the canvas. VISUAL ARTS,projects clearly Antonio Pessoa's current artistic speech and in so doing is granting a vast array of interactive communication,the abstract yet symbolic visualization of an increasing concept of emotional freedom according to the artist's commited interest at the heart of his daily investigations into the fascinating mind exploring related issues. An Installation on canvas,perhaps,why not,rich in transition art sentences along with a highly communicative dance code of intentions and multiple directions where unquestionably deliberate guidelines pertaining to freedom of artistic expression succeed to project outwards with as much literate wisdom sense as pure conventional verbal speech. Antonio Pessoa comes up with Visual Arts through his almost exclusive free-the-thought process,playing by the rules,yet breaking the boundaries both concerning his private life and his artistic performance. Successful mirrors reflecting the faithful expression of his most spiritual period up to now. Not a painter who paints what he sees,Pessoa paints his deepest emotional portrait,a reliable window open to his inner world,definitely,however in the meantime an open golden gate to the art lovers worldwide community. A significant third vision eye overlooking the public diversity,the art of communication most daring adventure offering hints and tips about getting and spreading emotional and living emancipation around,almost as a holy priority,an original retrospective of wise conclusions and stand by hanging in the air doubts,written with painting brushes in a mystical abstract manner,however magically succeeding to make apparent structural aesthetic choices,options and ideas break through the invisible glass of silence and provide a new approach by somehow capturing the three-dimensional voice of effective universal communication. Antonio Pessoa's eyesight and awareness are well reflected in Visual Arts,as it has been brightly posted in his latest artworks and it certainly will follow this very same communication level throughout his upcoming art productions. Seeing the world through an artist eyes never seemed to be such an easy-to-do process as when one eventually comes across Pessoa's recent oeuvre precisely just about to witness beyond the special effects screen the presence of the magical windows overlooking the transcendental landscape of vibrant energy,revealing feelings,emotions,concepts and ideas on the cutting edge of contemporary art expression as in the vision and imagery of Visual Arts.

          Night Gospel

NIGHT GOSPEL,acrylic on canvas,Antonio Pessoa,2007,might be or turn out to be on a short- term or who knows maybe even on a long-term,a very,very important masterpiece of the artist's whole oeuvre. The fantastic very true special meaning of this painting evokes a nightly calling down the spirits of knowledge and wisdom from the subconscious mind,,from that intelligent,emotional,intuitive power station of plenty awareness,we all have within the hidden depth of our minds,although we just don't make much use of it most of the times or even never,indeed an unforgivable distraction or mistake,for the high price we therefore have to pay for the basical disrespect concerning this endless source of practical and philosophical accurate answers can and actually does make the difference between mediocre living and Life Supreme!
