As a contemporary abstract,
neo-surrealistic artist, Antonio Pessoa has long come
to the ultimate conclusion that emotions - and very
particularly emotional addictions - is one of those
issues he must and is aware all the time. Understanding
this emotional science and complex universe, he soon
began to recognize how he could create specific situations
on canvas, on watercolor paper and even in his personal
and professional life, once he had systematic and absolute
control upon his infinite emotional spinning wheel.
Art becomes what the artist focus on. This Cause and
Effect systematic process, is actually Pessoa's ultimate
comfort zone, for the young millionaire has long come
to the lucky realization that by being a Star among
the Universe of shimmering stars in the art scene Planet,
has cheerfully dictated all the happy situations he
is now living and sharing, painting and spreading the
concept around. The Law of Attraction is a very powerful
law that Antonio Pessoa masters and uses to make huge
changes in his life and in his co-workers team's life,
Art and everything, you name it. As a matter of fact,
talking about Antonio Pessoa Contemporary Fine Art is
talking and getting fully involved in the universal
principles of the Law of Attraction. Moreover, Pessoa
has become a Law of Attraction guru, a very solid reputation
now, specially among other young fellow artists and
the ones who are closer, directly related or even sharing
the artist's daily private life. There's no doubt by
now, that the Contemporary Great Master influences effortlessly
the direction of his Life, with similar power he uses
to create, paint, draw and communicate. He became Free,
with Free and finds his greatness for free. He can change
his Life and his closest friends lives completely. Isn't
that wonderful? Yes, it is. And the New Age artist does
it in a totally different and amazing way. He plays
strictly by the rules. By the Law of Attraction's rules.
And yoy may ask, "What has this got to do with
Art Life?" Let's take a look. Antonio Pessoa's
Art Life and professional career has been going through
enough ups and downs for he has experienced enough dips
in self-confidence from time to time, specially when
things, including unspeakable love affairs (...and there
were many !!! ) didn't quite go how he would like. In
most of those situations he had the choice to stay down
or to bounce back up. He always took the last option
inevitably. So Art Life followed the road of success
as many times before. Pessoa made it easy by telling
himself it was easy. He made it easy by embracing action.
And this wise combination of positive thoughts made
him adopt the full commitment of Art and Life as the
ultimate supreme formula, where the rewarding results
became more and more abundant, greater and greater,
as his ability to communicate effectively through art
expression and in real life also became one of his most
important skills till today's times when people-public
is able to take, digest and understand his message in
the simplest ways. Creativity is definitely the beggining
of achieving a high level of greatness not only in Art
but also in Life. Antonio Pessoa is fully aware that
most great things, in Art and in Life start with a good
idea that was nurtured to grow into something grand.
Therefore, the artist's essential daily priority has
long become an intensive passionate process of growing
to be the best that he can be. Be the best, to artistically
express the best, become the paradigmatic lifestyle
model in today's art scene, in his amazing uniqueness,
and from then, give the best to others, namely public,
art collectors and a whole huge worldwide community
of intelligent people, open to new concepts of Art,
open to new concepts of Living. If Imagination, is one
of Pessoa's natural gifts, Faith is present in exact
proportion to excitement in Life, when optimism becomes
prominent, and the rewarding emotional fulfillment an
omnipresent reality. Wisdom and Knowledge, Art and Life.
Life is viewed from within and Art is the perseverance
of always go fot the gold. Lucky Stars, the striking
universe in which Pessoa's life floats and flows, can
be seen, understood and ultimately accepted as the result
of the different wise choices he has been making along
the way and very particularly these past few years,
by bravely deciding to take the Road Less Traveled.
Suddenly he is absolutely sure of how life is full of
so many choices and opportunities and how wonderful
and rewarding is to hold the key to each door that he
chooses to open. Lucky Stars, Art and Life, The Road
Less Traveled defines the artist, who when faced with
adversity, hardship and change, responds with courage,
confidence and charisma. This powerful combination of
positive elements, is after all the fuel that ignite
Pessoa's fire and burning desire for current and futur
accomplishments, in Art and Life. MIND POWER - Even
before the explosion of Revolutionary Neuroscience Research
discoveries of the last few years, Antonio Pessoa was
already so very seriously excited about all information
about Mind Power, totally motivated to use these tools
and techniques to reprogram the Mind to achievements
of all sorts in all areas, from his personal life to
artistic performance, from social life to business effective
communication. The fantastic results soon proved to
be surprising ones, some of them even beyond his wildest
dreams by then, providing him with the happy, amazing
and magical world of Life and Art, he has been enjoying
and making the most of it for the past six years now.
And obviously the most exciting consequence of this
intensive research, was the unexpected great enhancement
and marvelous switch in his art style, by coming up
with talented new visual advances, an amazing and unique
combination between Abstract Modern Art and shocking
Contemporary neo-Surrealism. Mind Power facts! Art Power
action! Pessoa may have just discovered a new visual
arts language which has been keeping an emotionally
excited expert public systematically looking forward
for more and even better. Always based on the concept
"Do what you Love and the Lucky Stars will shine",
Pessoa's leads his life and work with his traditional
unbreakable excitement, in spite of the setbacks that
now and then, maybe on a weekly basis, maybe even on
a daily basis, he has to face,deal with and overcome,
one way or another they just can't succeed to break
his energized commitment. And that's always when Mind
Power comes in, to provide him with this special alignment
between the interests, passions, dreams and values he
holds and the work he does, once again explaining his
established reputation as a unique artist, a creative
individual who always manages to find and feel satisfaction
and intense desire to take action with the great profile
of his great attitudes. Theoretical, utilitarian, aesthetic,
social, individua listic and traditional. Antonio Pessoa's
Mind Power is about his skills to control his own destiny,
based on what he believes to be the best system for
living. Art and Life! It may be possibly believed that
a number of artists are more fortunate than others.
And despite the fact that this is unlikely true,you
may perhaps disagree that these are proofs, in fact
,living proofs of the Cinderella stories. To there days
contemporary artist Antonio Pessoa, who started from
the scratch since his teen adventurous days in Amsterdam,
Nederland, actually pushed himself to his limits just
to make the most and the very best of his life and art
performance. What are we talking about? Lucky Stars?
That might be a good headline, however not what's actually
at stake. Mind Power, is definitely Pessoa's ultimate
secret and the only logical explanation for this great
achievements in Visual Arts and the exciting lifestyle
he is now pleasurably leading. Proper mind set to make
the best of everything, passion to excel, conviction
to carry on, humility to accept feedback and pride to
sustain his personal beliefs. Purpose in life, Knowledge,
Imagination and Big Dreams. This thought mechanism,
this power to think, dream and come up with cutting
edge ideas in every area of his life and art performance,
is after all just the outlook getting ready for reality,
when it all residues down to one simple fact,which is
Action. And precisely this powerful action is the force
which turns Antonio Pessoa into one of the most unique
and creative contemporary artists in today's art scene,
whatever that means. Impossible solutions, quickly become
possible solutions, when action means now and the true
secret is simply Mind Power abundance and effective
inspired action. Pessoa's peace and poise improves as
time goes by, as art performance accomplishes the amazing
improvement and his communication skills bring about
the almost impossible, while little-by-little the flowers
of abundance bloom in his heart, in his life and in
his art. And the results is that indeed the natural
law of momentum is pushing his achievements faster and
farther, with soft but solid strides of advancement
toward new experiences to paint, to express and share!
LIFESTYLE - As a direct result of knowing where to put
his talent, imagination and efforts, Antonio Pessoa's
lifestyle became a pursuing personal success,well being
and new artistic-aesthetic research fascinating process.
If the Art Scene road is full of obstacles and set-backs,
well that doesn't seem to affect the artist's inner
peace, as he sticks to his own special secrets of how
to live and let live, how to paint and let it flow,
however holding on to his priorities in life and Art
and heading forward without ever looking back. Positive
thinking and enthusiasm, seems to be his ultimate formula-combination
which inner motivation comes right out of his bright
nature, his focused outlook and his ever present persistent
attitude. Working smart rather than hard, and wisely
surrounding himself with supporting and creative people
from all over the world, Pessoa's lifestyle manages
to show us how to think, how to work, how to live and
play and most importantly how to achieve our wildest
dreams. During the making of his contemporary Fine Art
series, Antonio Pessoa observes the ongoing art scene,
with the traditional humilty of all Great Masters when
it comes to follow his fellow artists work. In this
universe of new references, Pessoa systematically puts
his researching attention in artists such as Anne van
Borselen, Harrie Gerritz and Jan Hofman - galerie Ann's
Art, Groningen, Nederland - where he finds obvious relations,
in style, color, subject, medium and very specifically
in expression. Interesting works by Anne van Borselen,
such as "Liquid days", Monkey Town",
"De Pyreneen II " and "Sun in your eyes"...
grabs Pessoa's curiosity, making him feel in his natural
comfort zone, before artworks of such impactful caliber
as Anne Borselen. Galerie Ann's Art becomes one of the
artist's european favorite art spaces, where he finds
what he has very probably already discovered, nevertheless
can't help feeling supported to see other artists with
similar tendencies. Doing the things that make him feel
good, Antonio Pessoa's
lifestyle and art performance, have become a powerful
experience and a unique example for emerging artists
and worldwide art lovers community. Antonio Pessoa Contemporary
Fine Art and New Drawings Art Collection, more than
a paradigmatic incredible combination of truly amazing
results, is a trustworthy reflector of the artist's
latest inner changes. Since the Romantic Period days
during which artists such as Xaime Quessada, Eugenio
Granall plus his fellow artists such as José
Maria Barreiro, Rafael Freijeiro, Trini Barreiro, Rita
Pessanha and Rufino Peral, talented people who one way
or another had more or less influence in his Oeuvre,
Plástica Gallega oriented, 1997-2002, when Arte
Alpide, Galeria Monteblanco, Galeria Dorian, were the
go-betweens artist-art collectors-media-public, Pessoa
has gone through a significant amount of changes, first
concerning his outlook of life-inner emotional intelligence,
selfgrowth period and then inevitably in his Oeuvre
to the point where he is now, in which galleries such
as Arte Manz, still manage to take him home to pay special
attention to contemporary artists such as Anton Patiño,
Jorge Cabezas, Hanoos, Pablo Orza and Alfonso Costa.
Strange as it seems, Arte Manz, Coruña, northern
Spain west coast, manages to inspire Pessoa's hot- spicy
contemporary chemistry with Galicia's new artists refreshing
ingredients, in the same exact proportion as Harry Wolfkamp
(for instance), represented by the high quality criteria
of Kunstbureau ARTeria on the other side of Europe,
to be more precise, Dwingeloo, Holland, seems to be
another Antonio Pessoa's favorites in this amazing over
populated ongoing interactive and eclectic universe
of today's art scene. Even less interesting artists
such as Arjan van Arendonk, Klaartje Pander and Josephine
Wortelboer, are good enough reasons for Pessoa's systematic
visits to Kunstbureau ARTeria, throughout his almost
religious daily new emerging talents research. Now that
Antonio Pessoa is on the right track realizing that
contemporary art is filled with infinite possibilities,
aware that he has reached a high level power to create
whatever he chooses to, the Plástica Gallega
old fashioned reality, concepts and outlook of art,
begins to change his feelings about artists that years
ago, he used as local important references, however,
not anymore. One of these names is Rufino Peral, represented
by Arte Alpide, and still stuck to the same old color
combinations, the same old special effects and the same
old cubism - or neo-cubism - despite the useless effort
of some local pseudo art critics who claim Rufino Peral
and his wall art same old stuff have Pop Art influences
or even surrealistic suggestions. Rufino Peral shows
us his latest paintings such as "El Berbés",
nothing much than a blurred something, and a canvas
titled "Expresionismo"in which artist Rufino
Peral, despite his not so bad technicall skills, doesn't
seem to succeed establishing a proportion between the
title and the poor visual results. Antonio Pessoa, more
than an artist, a true art expert, admits Arte Alpide
has nevertheless a whole stock of high quality art,
limited to the Plástica Gallega limited options,
however managing to represent reputable Great Masters,
such as Xaime Quessada, Laxeiro, Jorge Castillo and
José Lodeiro. Talking about contemporary Plástica
Gallega, Pessoa is now unquestionably far more interested
in artists such as Rafael Alonso, Novoa and even the
young emerging artist Joaquin Balsa. Next thing he knows,
Antonio Pessoa feels that the current Plástica
Gallega, has little to offer him as innovative references,
let alone as cutting edge influences, like an old fashioned
deja vu Artipedia, without giving clear signals of moving
forwaed into the infinite possibilities of new contemporary
art where only a highly creative imagination can actually
manage to come up with what public, art lovers, and
art collectors are right now looking for and eagerly
expecting to find and ultimately buy. Cutting edge visual
concepts, and new ways of New Art, expressing a new
outlook of reality, poetry and aesthetic chemistry.
These winds of changes took Pessoa to finding and living
the dream and the lifestyle, only self discovery, self
assessment and personal development can achieve. What
is the secret after all, people keep on asking because
they want to know. I would say Antonio Pessoa's secret
is actually quite simple. He is brutally honest with
himself, a Must key to complete the process to make
a Masterpiece out of his life. This issue of brilliance
is also an issue of perseverance, the most enjoyable
project and the best rewarding in many ways. Looking
at the impact his reputable lifestyle and Oeuvre is
having among the public, we have to bear in mind however,
that all these amazing results in all areas, speaks
specifically of his Mind Power, actually rather than
Lucky Stars, oftentimes through complex processes of
intensive self-growth and solid determination, and let
me reassure you that it is in these times of trial that
the artist's greatness keeps on rising to the top. Also
it's during these times of multiple frequencies and
daring challenges that Pessoa finds much of his inspiration
in simplicity, like in the artworks of one of his current
favorite artists, Christel Hermann - represented by
Galerie Jean-Marc Laik, an art space where talented
people such as Sabine Fernkorn, Viorel Chirea, Tita
de Rêgo Silva and Edith Sturde, obviously succeed
to entertain Pessoa's genuine interest, specially these
days when abstract contemporary art seems to be his
most reliable reference as the best style to express
his feelings and personal opinions. Systematically establishing
what quality Art is all about for him, and always wanting
to get better as an artist, Antonio Pessoa this time
gets pleasurably motivated by Galerie Jean-Marc Laik's
excellent selection of emerging quality artists such
as Tita de Rêgo Silva, Viorel Chirea, Edith Sturde
and very particularly, Sabrine Fernkorn. Antonio Pessoa's
fabulous view of today's art scene, provide him with
the very best of the surrounding contemporary references
he loves to share as he climbs to the top of his artistic
journey. Pessoa finds his passion with a little help
from his fellow artists, working new ideas and visual
concepts, making them better and definitely excelling
as the Great Master we all have to admit he is indeed.
Assuming the position of overseer, Antonio Pessoa takes
total responsibility and becomes the driving force behind
his collaborators team, behind the mission, before the
challenge, behind the project. After all it is his insight,
his grasp of the situations that becomes the ultimate
motivation for the ones who work with him, deal with
him, do business with him, believe in his Art and in
his innovative concepts. Also Pessoa's artistic development
is systematically elevated by embracing the quality
consistencies of many of his fellow artists worldwide,
he has a particular interest and in some punctual obvious
cases even a very specific passion for. This principle
of current adaptability to the art scene's surroundings,
fit and become an inspiration for every situations in
the productive privacy of his art studio as art performance
takes place and once again it's action time. This hearfelt
meaningful relationship opens up to another connection,
this time with Galerie Artitude (Nijmejen, Nederland)
where the nature of some of his represented artists
sustains Antonio Pessoa's genuine interest. Ultimately,
Galerie Artitude (Nijmejen,nl) provides Pessoa with
a selection of abstract artists, who actually fill him
with a lot of ideas and great conceptual art approaches,
which are thereby applied to his daily art studio activities.
Artists such as Ger Lataster, emphasizes Pessoa's outlook
of contemporary art expression, definitely delivered
with the similar dynamic color combinations he is so
fond of, that formula almost reaching perfection in
abstract style and making perfect sense. Robert Terwindt
(who can also be found at Galerie Artitude), although
basically figurative, succeeds to grab Antonio Pessoa's
attention, mainly for the ambiguous ambience as in Eclipss-Asap
where the underlines of visual poetry are far more important
than what seems apparently obvious. Also "Three
of a Kind", three screenprints by Theo Elfink,
Suen Hoekstra and of course Robert Terwindt, offers
Pessoa that very special possibility and opportunity
of full satisfaction, by discovering that the inspirational
idea for this painterly compositions, is in large measure
the same essence of his current impactful contemporary
series. With the amazing information being presented
by Galerie Artitude, Antonio Pessoa goes on focusing
his observant attention on Marie-José Robben,
another artist whose exuberant artworks excite Pessoa's
imagination, making him want to explore everything there
is to know about this talented woman, who translates
with great skills visions and emotions into excellent
abstract contemporary visual arts. Galerie Artitude
also provides Pessoa with another reference artist,
Jef Diederen, showing the sort of original concepts
actually in a very similar line Pessoa has adopted as
his latest style. It's really very simple, almost two
choices in one, Jef Diederen - Antonio Pessoa, two of
a kind strategies for contemporary abstract art expression,
frantically amazing, while acting as in real time studio
action, today, here and now, instead of letting the
canvases collect dust. Two artists following similar
concepts in one or more ideas of the very best of today's
contemporary abstract wall art. Anyway, one way or another,
meaning definitely, Antonio Pessoa's Lifestyle is an
exciting, daring, systematic, breaking out of his comfort
zone, feeling just fine to develop his core competencies,
ans as the reputable dynamic artist, thinker and leader
he is, he knows how to manage and maintain a list of
new challenges to tackle. If modeling the Greats will
revitalize anyone, then modeling Pessoa's Lifestyle
and everything it involves, is upgrading your mastery
in many areas, from re-inventing Art and Life to build
upon new and exciting methods. Practice, Practice, Practice,
that's what Antonio Pessoa's life is all about. And
that's when learning leads to magnificent mastery. Coaching
others as he grows,and in so doing empowerment is mutual
and sharing leads to a more rewarding and satisfying
win-win outcome. The artist's ability, capacity and
skills to perceive, assess and manage his emotions is
actually the way in which he interacts with people and
public and how he relates to the world and how all this
combination reflects on what he paints, and how he takes
total responsibility when it comes to rely on himself
to live and make the most of an exciting and creative
Lifestyle!
