Antonio Pessoa Trial
by Fire Once again the artist delivers the ultimate
thrill, as we all look genuinely awestruck before one
more It's Hard to Believe sort of challenge, through
which the art creator's puzzling experiments insist
in preparing us yet for another public Watchout session.
Fair enough. What is this all about, after all, you
may ask. Let me explain. Commited himself to the achievement
os self- development all areas highest levels, Antonio
Pessoa combines information... or should I say, Knowlrdge...
from multiple resources, thereby getting instant access
to this fascinating dimension of living magic and most
importantly to this highly effective mind power multilateral
expertise. Emerging across all the information available,
the artist's determination and traditional straightforwardness
seem to be once again tough enough to track the whole
of this advanced tutorials, leaving us to absolutely
expect the upcoming high-impact all this wisdom structure
and mastery are going to have in his private life, art
performance, lifestyle and most importantly in his public
projection, as the paradigmatic entrepreneur artist
of our times and obviously as the new generation great
communicator. Getting ready to indeed operate a daring
new artistic enterprise and worldwide venture, Pessoa
inevitably assumes a great deal of accountability for
the inherent risks, setbacks, stand bys, ins and outs
and general obstacles, definitely a scary process (not
for all) where getting accurate valuable advice and
cutting edge information never seems to be enough in
the new start-up stage of his current and coming soon
king-sized challenges where sharing his responsibilities
and vision with his collaborators international team
definitely requires a proficiently advanced How-To immediate
decision making skills, where his mind tools productive
effectiveness will be unquestionably on Trial by Fire!
Taking a good look at the tools, modus operandi, and
processes Antonio Pessoa continually uses in his rich
and colorful day to day life, we helplessly can't resist
to get a glimpse into the artist's life latest news,
always expecting the next episode to be far more striking
and exciting than the ones before. People from all over
Europe and United States write to me telling us they
indeed do spend a lot of time researching and reading
about the artist's methods, deliciously grabbed and
entertained by how he systematically manages to get
off to a new blazing start just about to a always unexpected
new series of brilliant and satisfying conclusions,
as one of the art scene world's most unique, amusing
and amazing on-going profiles. The extent to which Pessoa
exhibits various and interesting characteristics, provides
us with sufficient visibility to fully understand his
increasing degree of positive exposure to public notice.Fact.
Therefore, extinguishing the fire with a calm spell
seems to be right now the hardest accomplishment for
anyone within the artist's friends circle. Besides,
anyway, nobody seems to have no reasons to actually
wish that to happen. Slowly but surely turned on by
the tempting idea of living feeling today everything
is possible, even his wildest dreams, Antonio Pessoa
uses his mind's full potential to wish things to happen
and surprise, surprise, fact is that then they actually
do. However there is after all the secret, the special
trick, which enables the artist to deal with challenges
he has to face, by astonishingly quadrupling his vision,
knowledge, meeting the goal achievement proper balance
with his traditional rock-solid determination to make
the seemingly impossible a now-reality. Sensitive, selective,
fast and accurate, the artist faithfully keeps on following
a truly effective method, which unfortunately for most
of us, strange as it seems, remains a one million dollars
secret! No doubt Pessoa must have enough good reasons
to have entitled this painting "Trial by Fire ".
Pure abstract art, caughts the eye of the viewer, regardless
the message or meaning, however as we all become more
and more familiarized with the content-intent of this
particular artwork, which is after all, and most important
of all, the mirror reflecting the powerful heart and
soul of a life veteran sort of artist, once again stubbornly
committed to change his mind's orientation, a current
challenging issue which has clearly shown itself to
be by now a striking method both proficient and highly
effective in all areas and in every step of the way.
Banking on proving to himself and to the world that
beyond the boundaries of conscious self-evaluation,
of conscious global awareness, there is an endless wealthy
empire of possibilities, we so very often can't make
out, lost through our own mismanagement of our own inner
potential scenario, Antonio Pessoa records in "
Trial by Fire " the expanded universe available
to anyone willing to spend a reasonable full time research
aiming at reaching a level of global expertise, the
fuel of a dynamic and happy life, wealthy innovations
and new ways of viewing the world through self-growth,
after all the magical counselling therapy providing
a lucid, original and effective practical guide to how
accomplish our most cinematic dreams taking off from
the deep valuable resources of our inner mind. "Trial
by Fire" definitely doesn't pretend to suggest
doubt about this high-efficiency method, however clearly
points out that the golden results basically depend
on absolute true passion, daily focusing, solid motivation,
a patient step by step mind fitness plan, an increasing
magnitude unbreakable perspective and a whole lot of
multiple positive intentions, the ultimate goal setting
made easy. Pessoa couldn't have chosen a better title
for this mountains beyond mountains of research and
observation endless miles and miles and miles to cross,
climb and crawl, indeed a Trial by Fire, engaged in
fierce emotional tournaments and daring journeys bound
to where the glowing pot is placed, solving ancient
mysteries hidden in plain sight from our perception,
knowledge and wise mindset awareness. This painting
once again rises an impressive new set of questions.
First and most important of all, is Antonio Pessoa going
to pass this stiff examination entitled "Trial
by Fire"? We all believe he will, despite also
acknowledging that arriving safe and sound at the shining
palace at the end of the long and winding road, it's
not going to be a twelve minute extravaganza of boiling
fun. A mission impossible or a successful accomplishment?
I would rather emphasize a mission accomplishment as
an already now-reality fact, running like a well-oiled
machine. However the big challenge is out there, waiting
for an artist willing to be playing with fire, by the
book and by the rules, a free trial available for anyone,
nevertheless a tough enough match only the brave players
can undertake when it comes the time to jump into the
titanic overwhelming arena of the Trial by Fire! Antonio
Pessoa Burning Flame Feeding his concept of Masterpiece,
the magnificent life guide, the inner creative aqueduct
running as a video game, allowing the proper context
of effective thought turn into a luminous landscape
of rewarding reality, where the weaponry of imagination,
plays a rather important role, basically it's all there
is to have in order to accomplish the wildest dreams,
Antonio Pessoa's burning flame is more than ever the
action set for his passionate, vibrant and purposeful
positive energy aiming at that pure unbridled ecstasy
of personal success and at achieving goals, whatever
they might be, like a magical inspiring huge fire wave
around his heart and soul. Most important of all, Pessoa
effortlessly keeps his flame burning in every possible
way as always, lighting up living fire and consequently
he does have a lot of fun attracting the universe natural
pulse while life easy does it, providing him with the
hottest colors of desire, action and fullfilment. It's
becoming more and more general well known fact that
indeed Pessoa has obviously sunk to depths of self biographical
fine art rituals nobody could ever imagined. His long-standing
relationship with art studio intensive performance step
by step, year after year, as time goes by, made him
to become more focused and dedicated to catch up with
his inner self, thereby coming up with a growing prominent
attitude, genuine interest and commited on-going research
concerning a light speed development philosophy of life
oriented process meking him take on more truthful art
expression moves and skills than ever before. BURNING
FLAME, acrylic on canvas, Antonio Pessoa 2007, is definitely
a paradigmatic witness of this continuous and growing
emotional life observing giving him impressive motivational
lectures of the mind's science, thereby empowering his
current oeuvre to promote an outstanding wide profile
of human nature, including himself. Burning Flame, apart
from its inner emotional content along with its direct
association with the source of Pessoa's intensive self-
discovery, establishes once again the latest visual
language through which the artist puts special emphasis
on a metaphorically oriented feeling of immense art
expression freedom, in the whole essence, idea, concept
and visual impact. Antonio Pessoa's vivid and emotional
understanding of reality externalises its inner world
onto the world of pure abstract nature, where the principles
of aesthetics, apart from their intrinsic interest,
introduce a new depth of feelings guided through clearly
instructed methods of conceptual art making, sequences
where the multiple abstract images in contrast to a
unique mixture of colors creates a lyric-dynamic plastic
architecture, underscoring a clear-cut inherent richness
and an exuberant variety of meanings, eroticized sensuality,
almost living visual patterns, providing the viewer
with the possibility of an interpretation triplicity
and an open access to all this emotional embodiment
of art. Its design, layout and content makes Burning
Flame unique and irresistible for the eye, for it is
obvious that apart from its expressive value, the drawing
plays an important communicative role, transparently
symbolic, yet so abstractly described. Nevertheless,
it's not only the painting's title or even the visual
pleasant results pointing out that the artist's message
merely suggests the Burning Flame meaning and idea.
As a matter of fact Burning Flame might as well be interpreted
as Antonio Pessoa's nature most reliable signature.
The criterion used to give a specific title to each
of his latest artworks is based on a very conceptual
catalogue of attitudes, priorities and most importantly,
beliefs. The truth is, Pessoa's genetic mechanism has
provided the art creator not only with an impressive
mental vital energy but also with an impressive outstanding
imagination, delivering him exceptional results throughout
his life up to now, such a remarkable innovative reasoning
ability, creative communication skills and a first rate
perception of cause and effect. The growing awareness
of this golden God's gift, which has been his lifetime
heart and soul of his punctual breath-taking accomplishments,
explains the deep essence of this canvas titled Burning
Flame, rather a token of humble gratitude than a temporary
relation of superiority. Even the many harsh setbacks,
critic situations and crushing times along the way didn't
manage to generate enough negative power to break his
solid as a rock determination and pro-life positive
thinking, on the contrary, life's unexpected winds of
changes and painful blackouts actually succeeded effectually
in strengthening the potential of his emotional and
mind armament, serving to mould the artist's character
increasing its power at the expense of the inevitable
downs and outs. Antonio Pessoa 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. Antonio Pessoa
Portrait Now What? Antonio Pessoa unpredictable as his
reputation heralds, comes up with a rather mysterious
canvas, somehow suddenly breaking away from the series
of spiritual-oriented artworks he has been presenting
lately. PORTRAIT, acrylic on canvas, Antonio Pessoa
2007, stands out of the artist's latest line of work,with
a title and a touch of art expression reminding his
late nineties oeuvre. Visiting Pessoa's studio in the
first week of November precisely during the making of
PORTRAIT, I asked him as politely as I possibly could
what was going on.The artist sits in front of me and
without any beating about the bush preambles, tells
me he needed urgently to demystify someone we both knew,
searching for logical evidence and accurate clues in
order to explain through art expression and very particularly
to himself the true nature and deep motivations of the
eccentric character represented in PORTRAIT, his inherent
complex of attributes plus his restless actions and
reactions. Once identified Portrait's heart and soul,
I'm quite sure the artist from that step on is having
so much fun, now able and available to play the game,
hanging out provided with the third vision of perception
and thereby watching whoever is behind this abstract
painting, articulating his focus and looking beyond
the surface, deep, above and below, defenitely seeing
a whole lot more than what any viewer eventually shall
see whatever, whoever the image truly manifests and
represents. Once again the superior mirage of the natural
privilege of being an artist gives him probably the
genuine right to keep a whole lot of secrets for himself,
therefore the puzzling secrecy and identity of Portrait
keeps the viewer asking the same old questions over
and over again, and this premeditated cause and effect
reaction manipulation is the typical modus- operandi
of Antonio Pessoa's harmless playful moody games, when
it comes to use art as his favorite tool in order to
challenge the viewer's thoughtful and sometimes painful
discernment process about how to actually approach a
purposely ambiguous topic, randomly experiencing multiple
assumptions and considering several aspects of an apparently
faceless Portrait, particularly in this thrilling situation
in which the artist provides no antidotes whatsoever
for the viewer's ocular interpretation let alone navigate
across the ocean of speculative exploring, and consequently
come up at least with a dim light at the end of the
tunnel after a meticulous eternity trying to figure
out the artist's intentions, jumping at last to the
twisted-grinning accurate conclusion that the hidden
consistency of Portrait was from the very beginning
meant for the artist to know and for the viewer to find
out. More than a visual illusion, Portrait's equivocal,
cryptic, enigmatic, "top secret" possibilities,
incorporates key-references, trying and actually succeeding
to provide the viewer with a superuniverse of infinite
research tools, however in the meantime creating a mysterious
traffic of visual tactics almost suggesting that the
one meant to have been the inspiring model is pure imagination
fiction, that the true meaning of this painting, maybe...
just maybe, might as well still be under construction.
Basically, all I could really do to help in the hope
to cool the viewer's anxiety or make the viewer consider
the evidence of no evidence at all, would possibly be
to gently say "give it up and just sit, relax and
enjoy it", for after all it seems to me quite obvious
Portrait was indeed meant to be from the very beginning
a conceptual artistic camouflage. A mystery Portrait,
an artist's secret, revealing absolutely nothing but
another interesting fine art riddle, a brain teaser
double and veiled meaning composition, meant to puzzle
the viewer and therefore a classified information artistic
enigma never to be solved. Antonio Pessoa's juicy secret
skillfully hidden perhaps behind the apparent empty
spaces of the canvas, as if answering questions with
odd questions, makes Portrait the traditional "maybe,
maybe not" sort of inscrutable, obscure, even mystical
sort of artistic disappearance, leaving no loose ends
and leaving the anonymous portrayed one forevermore
occult in the mystifying highest level of the world
fine art nameless esoteric models Olympus. Antonio Pessoa
Atlantis "The Last Days of Paradise", oil
on canvas, Antonio Pessoa 2002, as the title makes perfectly
clear, unquestionably points out the artist's intuitive
premonition of his astounding super productive Romantic
Period's final countdown and inevitable mysterious and
cinematic troubled ending. ATLANTIS, Antonio Pessoa's
macro space art studio, stands today as thelegendary
historical evidence, and symbol of the artist's most
productive period up to now,during which an intensive
and eclectic method of art action had thepower and ability
to come up with one of the most gigantic and striking
fine art collections of the twentieth century's last
decade. This accentuated fact, furnished with an endless
display of action movie, romantic comedy, even drama,
plus erotic unspeakable episodes, mainly taking place
in the dim-lit seductively designed and decorated ATLANTIS
Studio, indeed gave birth to a wonderful, brilliant
and encyclopedic art production, matching the great
masters traditional modus operandi, conduct, lifestyle,
maximized efficiency and outstanding creative commitment,
where detailed academic research, highly elaborated
projects of artistic performance, art action, passion
and energy systematically aiming to create what indeed
turned out to be and impossible made possible six years
in a row super-human art production marathon. However,
these accomplishments and success secrets, strange as
it seems, still remain a public mystery despite all
the reports and eventual speculation related to Pessoa's
Romantic Period ( 1997 - 2002 ) at the idyllic ATLANTIS
art Home Studio. Despite the Romantic Period's ins and
outs and ups and downs, the artist was well aware that
on the whole he was living the time of his life, and
getting a kick out of his daily intensive art making
ritual and his bohemian city night life unspeakable
adventures. Despite the fact that he was living and
painting basically or even entirely apart from the worldwide
art scene's ins, outs and abouts, another extensive
variety of stimulation sources and resources were actually
feeding his inspiration,motivation, and creative burning
flame, arousing his organism to powerful art action
in such a way which has made Pessoa's Romantic Period
turn out to be an everyday mental process involving
contemporary art versions of the twentieth century's
reknown modern masters let alone new ideas and concepts
the artist skillfully knew how to express on to his
thousands of artworks, namely oils and acrylics on canvas,
watercolors, mixed medias, drawings, sketches and even
unique style interesting installations. Now the frequently
asked question at stake concerns the connection between
Pessoa's taking it global spontaneous footloose lifestyle
and his unbreakably self- disciplined daily art-making
implacability, serious approach, dependent upon solid
values of artistic commitment and absolute devotion.
This unsolved mystery, brain teaser riddle, mindbreaker
puzzle, is still an on-going challenge even for me,
for his closest friends, let alone all of them Antonio
Pessoa's fans, clients, admirers, fellow artists and
public in general. Far from being an over and out archived-investigation,
Pessoa's Romantic Period What, Why, Where and How, still
unavailable information summary,is a well alive issue
and biographical thrilling process to such an extent
that not even lyrical prose and appealing art reviews
seem to succeed to cool it down and let it go, not at
least for the time being. ATLANTIS, after all has been
for the artist a once in a lifetime heavenly Paradise,
fact and not merely an assumption, given the so many
told and even untold signs available to invigorate this
hypothesis, or more accurately a shared theory which
is by now widely taken for granted. Thereby, purposefully
procrastinating worldwide reputation and public recognition,
Antonio Pessoa during his Romantic Period's six years
of growing personal artistic realization and night life
breathless explorations, strange and crazy as it seems
and uniquely unambitious and ambiguously self sufficient
as it was indeed, earns more than enough money to pay
his three houses plus extravaganza bills and embrace
fine arts enjoying the privilege of no interferences
whatsoever, plus carrying on living a romantic-erotic-artistic
lifestyle, lavishly staged, spectacular, Kafkanian...
apparently without pondering whether it was worth the
possibility of a bigger time spending investment in
the complex boring process of a worldwide career situation
and his art universal promotion. I can imagine how wonderful
life was for the artist, when, as far as the world art
scene was concerned, there was nothing to do therefore
wonderful to wake up glad to know nothing had been left
undone. Nevertheless, in the meantime, Antonio Pessoa
without even being aware of it, is actually creating
what a few years later was bound to become the heart
and soul of his world reputation. The Romantic Period!
ATLANTIS art studio was indeed Paradise! I suppose that's
why it might have been a rather nostalgic moments time
lost in the universe of recent memories and in the feedback
of a present turning fast into past that Pessoa imagined
and actually painted "The Last Days of Paradise
" . Winds of changes were blowing across the Atlantic,
just to put it in the best poetic way I know how, highlighted
signs of emotional hurricanes and stormy chaos were
showing up here and there and everywhere, sometimes
disguised as a Celtic tale comedy-drama short episode,
some other times indeed making way for a dressed to
kill ruthless master of harsh reality. 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 Live ! Original and unique,
mystical and straightforward, charmingly shy and enthusiastic
communicator, hard worker and contemplative procrastinator,
Antonio Pessoa's nature lives up to a rich controversial
personality which indeed has beed the heart and soul
of his cinematic adventurous lifesyle.Fact. A "no
two alike" myth, this artist, jazz-blues musician,
art curator and positive-thinker, remains an up to date
phenomenon after all these years of experiencing systematically
the leading role of a nail-bitting motion picture which
could be eventually titled "Antonio Pessoa the
One and Only ". I'm positively sure, his aristocratic
background and super-protected privileged childhood
education, let alone his unquestionable genetic talent
he possesses, have been the seeds for him to grow and
become a premature prodigy, even featuring the performance
characteristics of a dazzling skilled in any field sort
of teenager. Therefore Antonio Pessoa throughout the
years has been leading a kind of life we only see in
the best and most exciting Hollywood productions, from
ever since the time he was twelve years old up to now.
Very probably, that's why all his art is so deliciously
eclectic, exciting and new, that's definitely why his
whole oeuvre is what it is. An awe-inspiring universe
of wonder, genius, complexity and over the edge overwhelming
content. Since the time, me, Jacob Kotsky, with the
valuable assistance help from Luis Santiago, Nancy Igartiburu
and Pierre Fontanals, started writing and publishing
online all about an artist named Antonio Pessoa, back
in 2005, we've been receiving hundreds of letters from
people from all over Europe and United States, on a
punctual weekly basis asking us an impressive great
deal of extra information related with this mysterious
artist. More than enough to provide us with substantial
motivation to carry on with our reviews and general
interest arousing biographical articles about Pessoa's
life and work. Being all the four of us close friends
of the artist, public relations and global collaborators,
references and accurate reliable information sources
hasn't been a problem for very obvious reasons, moreover
I'm happy to report that this process on the whole has
been and it is mostly truly stimulating, enjoyable and
rewarding.Fact. All this takes place precisely when
Pessoa, mind made up, decides to break up with his traditional
figurative paintings to embrace exclusively contemporary
fine art, surprising us all as he systematically comes
up with a totally different line of work, Pierre Fontanals
named New Era, in which Antonio Pessoa once again proves
to be indeed a unquestionable gifted talented innovator,
by so originally starting to produce a series of canvases
and watercolors clearly reflecting a no way back personal
commitment and response to the latest contemporary art
tendencies, where not only a striking chromatic miscellaneous
brilliance invades his canvases space, but also where
his drawing skills astonishingly accomplish the cutting
edge and beyond of today's art expression, all so intelligently
combined, so unpretentiously aesthetically elegant and
glamorous in such a manner of a highly inventive visual
writing of a kind of emotional fiction that captures
the viewer's sensations at first sight. One of the most
frequently asked questions about the artist, still concerns
his somewhat cloudy past, namely the late eighties and
the super productive golden years of the nineties. Being
Antonio Pessoa the paradigmatic straighforward sort
of person, it's not always that easy and simple to make
him talk about his past,let alone twenty years ago today.
However, since I've met him, from the very first time
back in the year 1997, I've been having plenty of time
to, shall we say, solve the big puzzle, bit by bit,
tip by tip, step by step. Therefore, as I became ritualized
in Pessoa's hidden secrets, and the flipping schemes
involving his outs and abouts of his past, private life,
work and lifestyle, solving the riddle the best way
I knew how, the complexity of the whole endless process
actually turned out to be indeed a truly challenging
and rewarding experience, a delicious hard brain teaser,
solving the enigma wrapped in mystery, adventure, night
life, studio performance, love affairs, glamor and the
inevitable unexpected drastic changes. During the mid-late
eighties, long before the first Gulf War, Antonio Pessoa
is a night-life legend, a jazz-blues musician skillfully
playing the grand-piano and singing, performing to perfection
new versions of songs by The Beatles, Elton John, Simply
Red, Prince, Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, The Doors,
The Eagles, James Taylor, Police, Television, Roxy Music,
David Bowie, and even Elvis, Sinatra, plus tunes by
John Coltrane, Miles Davis and George Gershwin. Cherished
by an excited nightly audience he often took the tonight
programme a whole lot further on into the morning light
by using his sketching and drawing skills overwhelming
his celebrating fans club community by painting live,
on stage, under the spotlight. According to many of
his soul mates, show biz agents, all time friends and
audience inocent bystanders years later we've been stumbling
upon, here and there and everywhere, the magic of these
daily live art shows animated entertainment, was one
of Pessoa's most clamouring and most enjoyable periods
ever, where fine art was a dancing all night away live
play in which Antonio Pessoa besides having the leading
role, was also indeed having the time of his life, let
alone the inevitable great improvement concerning his
artistic performance mastery and expertise. Being by
then already a truly experienced live performance veteran,
it's no big deal and no wonder the artist was definitely
able to handle the situation with that effortless stunning
ravishing easy-to-do know-how which made him step on
the stage and thereby become the prototype unique symbol
of live art action of our times. Even during the nineties,
right at his career apotheosis, as he successfully turned
and strode toward the top of the hill of his striking
worldwide reknown Romantic Period, Pessoa now and then
breaks through the boundaries of his art studio and
goes back to the night life yet for another display
of fine art action live performances, both in the sunny
cosmopolitan glamorous mediterranean zone and in celtic
inspired Vigo city Atlantic frantic weekends lively
night life. Unpredictable as he is, it seems only the
future will be able to actually show us whether or not
Pessoa's live art action is over for good. The answer
for this frequently asked question for the time being
remains in the holy secret of the Gods, for in my humble
opinion, anytime, anywhere, anyway, anyhow, definitely
it wouldn't be the surprise of the century if the artist
made up his mind to return to that lively dimension
of his life where painting live eventually might bring
him that kind of magic, that sort of rewarding inspiration,
thrilling excitement and inner satisfaction, we all
so desperately need from time to time, here and then,
once in a while, in order to make us feel meaningfully
alive to such an extent in which we come once again
to that delicious point where life once again makes
absolute perfect sense, people is beautiful and this
planet a wonderful place to celebrate life and arts!
Antonio Pessoa Visual Arts 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. 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, only 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 ideas, 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. MIND EXPLORER,
acrylic on canvas, Antonio Pessoa 2007, comes up basically
at the very same time as the artist once again decides
to turn his whole life into a wonderful Masterpiece.
Pessoa keeps on surprising us all with his brilliant
unexpected resources, always as an immediate response
to firefight the art scene wildfire plus the hurricane
changes of life's natural unpredictable aspects, reacting
wisely and punctually to the systematic rain of daily
new circumstances, dilemmas and decision taking scenarios
aiming for the steady high-efficient capacity to know
with amazing high-precision what is the right thing
to do,at the right place, at the right time. Antonio
Pessoa's reknown remarkable mind content knowledge for
practical, intuitive and philosophical reasoning, provides
him with a solid cognitive ability to absolutely enjoy
the privilege of depending upon his own high quality
critical thinking permiting him a fast introduction,
automated inner Mind - inner Self inspection and consequently
a skillful almost effortless self-improvement once this
repeatable reasoning process is on and going running
at silent supersonic speed, thereby generating a well
advanced preferences, answers and bright solutions logical-emotional
tracking subsequently summarizing the gigantic complex
whole mitigating it to a digestible compositional model
and methodology, an easy-to-use toolbar for great decision
quality optimization. MIND EXPLORER, a faithful product
of the latest sequence of contemporary art expression
reflecting healthy and positive ideals, a seties of
charming paintings after all an interesting and hopefully
historic biographical profile of the artist's persistent
emotional intelligence experiments and serious Mind
explorations, shows us and makes us witness a daring,
appealing self-guided adventure in the fascinating deep
and wide ideal of global perception, a friendly art
expressed clearly suggesting a new twist and most importantly
a multi dimensional performance in the Mind-Body machine
interaction. It's quite obvious by now Pessoa's serious
approach to the inner Mind language and infinite powerful
resources, let alone the art action in motion publishing
on canvas one of the most original art collections and
genuine reports of the artist's intimate nature, feelings
and viewing so far as a matter of fact. Pessoa's latest
explorations in the realm of Mind have been unquestionably
providing him with a well driven biofeedback potential,
amazing public, art lovers and gallerists with this
colorful, abstract and contemporary avant-gardish cognitive
neuroscience artistic new look. Antonio Pessoa beams
us all up with his Mind spaceflights he so skillfully
can turn into lovely lively art expression delicious
visual games and color motion projection curated by
excellent taste, style, ongoing research and at last
presenting us fascinating new windows into our outlook
of contemporary fine art. Elegible enough the solid
determination focused on a straightforward pursuit after
the inner secrets of the Mind and its subsequent rewarding
feedback, the big thrill is undoubtedly the already
current speculation over the fair enough topic question
of how long is the artist going to keep steady on the
Mind exploration track and therefore how long is this
charming and original art collection going to follow
this very same aesthetic line proposed by the artist's
ongoing integral methodologies in the development of
the Mind's visual design and its effective high-performance
both in his personal, social, professional life and
naturally in his art productions. Despite Pessoa's undeniable
commitment to this highlyrecommended issue, the present
method for generating sharp inner Mind perception, awakening
spontaneously new formulas of visual arts delights...
the unpredictable long-term fluctuations are intrinsically
a potential threat to this wonderful period the artist
is going through. Times they are a-changing and surely
Antonio Pessoa isn't immune to this unavoidable everlasting
worldwide universal phenomenon, nevertheless the carrying
signs of a serious affair with the discovery of the
Truth through this effective emotional intelligence
developing process, seem to me to be already a firnly
established no surrender, no retreat, no turning back
consistent enough motivation for all of us to believe
in the growing intensiveness of this human creative
potential already giving birth to Antonio Pessoa'as
most happy, friendly, cool and interesting artworks
series up to now, plus the evidence already suggesting
with deserved credibility the artist's Mind discovery
mainstream personal riveting achievements and rewards.
MIND EXPLORER, definitely an impressive title for an
easy digest abstract contemporary painting, might however
turn out to become a historic symbol, for the powerful
inspiration root behind the canvas space, moreover for
its solid predictive value related to the artist's coming
up times. One way or another, one day or another, but
most important of all Antonio Pessoa makes sure the
Show must go on, dressed up with a surprising brand-new
transparent honesty as an artist and a stainless law-abiding
citizen of the world, let alone his daily updated human
values, a great combination indeed, a great symbolic
period establishing a significant irreconcilable difference
between the past and today's vibrating artistic and
human higher standards. On the whole, MIND EXPLORER
reports a magical Mind incorporated analytical search
engine generating and endless display of revealing motion
pictures where the metaphysical meanings dance away
to the sound of silence with global awareness, expanding
wisdom content, flowing, growing and incredibly high
reaching the so expected point where everything makes
perfect sense... even in a racing world where divine
madness seems to be taking over. When Pessoa paints
a canvas such as MIND EXPLORER, he knows what he is
talking about, now it's really up to you to render an
accurate interpretation through a natural effortless
diagnosis simply relying on cognition, intuition or
even processing curiosity in order to fully understand
the fine art original message, soul and beyond. Most
importantly, MIND EXPLORER should and actually can be
after all a highly advanced daily ritual and a lifetime
positive experience for all of us! Antonio Pessoa Intuition
Something like the "Pinball Wizard" song,
performed by the english band The Who, however not quite
so, fine art wizard Antonio Pessoa comes up with Intuition,
acrylic on canvas, 2007, expressing a perspective of
what talent in real life is all about. When a lukewarm
action leading role isn't definitely an option in the
world we live in, whatsoever, particularly if one is
facing overwhelming challenges plus a continuous and
peculiar on-going urgent demands from art dealers and
art collecters, moreover with no immediate alternative
to, shall we say, reduce daily-weekly professional priorities...
Intuition at its highest top level comes up as an absolutely
required science.Fact. Always literally punctual and
wisely convenient about his latest artworks as a systematic
direct reaction method in which is extremely skillfully
and witty published under art expression articles, a
positive attitude and a very well situated response
towards smiling happy or earthquake-prone circumstances
plus unexpected heart trembling feedbacks, Pessoa's
special sharp interpretation of the global time frame
allows him to use contemporary art as a reliable reflector
of his well focused observing opinion, emotional waves
and general perception. That's what art nowadays is
all about... or must I say... at least it should be.
So, once again, everything seems to make perfect sense
concerning the artist's truthful grown-up posture which
is a breath of fresh air in today's overstocked propaganda-oriented
racing emerging academic artists miscellaneous ways
to cash off any local art scene, the best way they know
how. Antonio Pessoa's personal success reports a substantial
cool as cool can be sort of wholesome contemplative
profile connected to the world by playing juggling balls
with faqs and answers, playing by the rules but most
importantly playing by Intuition. Personal News travel
fast, therefore Pessoa is the first one to become aware
that the most reliable source to come up with an accurate
statistical measurement of his own Intuition amperage,
is actually himself. So no wonder we are now able to
have the visual and emotional privilege of here and
now stand before a charming painting titled Intuition.
Antonio Pessoa's 2007 artworks definitely show us a
man,an artist going through an exciting and prodigious
period of self-discovery, Mind research and emotional
improvement. This instinctive knowing without the use
of special resoning processes, still a rare gift possessed
by only a few, is well explicit in this artwork on canvas,
apart from its abstract quality the concept's fingerprints
are all over the art space, a mirror reflecting and
reporting this fascinating inner guidance tool, Pessoa
and his higher self sharing with all of us his field
of new found information beyond the bounds of space
and time and consequently getting back to the heart
of the public as he moves out of static coherence in
order to increase the unfoldment of Intuition. Anyway,
Intuition, the painting and all its meaningful symbolic
abstract neo-surrealistic content is after all a part
of Antonio Pessoa's current concept named FREE. This
reference identified and directly related to the artist's
contemporary art expression evolution, which is by itself
the communicating mirror of great inner personal achievements,
a unique experience profile conducting his qualities
and skills towards such a magnificent supreme level
of steadfast self-improvement, right now still too premature
to predict the extent of this challenging mission and
the outcome general effects of this daring remarkable
emotional attitude plus odyssey. As for right now, that's
the big thrill and the spicy mystery, for not even Pessoa
is able to actually realize beforehand just how long
it's going to take for him to accomplish a reasonable
high degree of this fascinating dream, nor is he still
able to foresee the depth level at stake let alone the
probable wonderful possibilities, fulfilling and rewarding
consequences of all this self-psychotherapy chemistry.
The general perspective is obviously excellent and on
the whole and most importantly, sure thing Antonio Pessoa's
Intuition is bound to lead him safe and sound to the
sunny place he profoundly feels and deeply believes
he belongs to. Freedom! However... hold your horses,
Ladies and Gentlemen, not quite so fast. Great goals
take time to accomplish and overcoming life's adversities
one by one takes a great deal of energy accompanied
with a whole lot of patience and resistance. As the
artist practises self-control he approximates more and
more to this magical inward kingdom, and is less and
less swayed by passion and grief, pleasure and pain,
and lives a steadfast and virtuous life, manifesting
manly strength and fortitude, in art performance, personal
life, professional commitments and public communication.
Freedom bound, Pessoa's determination keeps looking
forward to the coming up soon Free at last happy ending.
In the meantime, positive artistic suggestions such
as Intuition, in art expression and real life timing,
are always mostly welcome, both for the public's eyes
delight and the artist's Conquest of his personal Glory.
Just a short simple word. FREE! However what's at stake
is a lengthwise dimension wonderful something, mysterious
but bright, unpredictable but rock-steady. Just like
Antonio Pessoa's fine art performances, art scene disappearances
and Symphonic Orquestra soundtracked public comebacks.
Antonio Pessoa Night Wits Night Wits, acrylic on canvas,
Antonio Pessoa 2007, is once again another sign of the
artist's full determination to establish the first encounters
with the subconscious Mind infinite possibilities related
to the night shift ritual of being systematically provided
with the inner-self super potencial revelations during
sleep. The artist's straight forward determination,
persistance, self-assurance and patience, play once
again an important leading role in this fantastic odyssey
across the infinite universe of the Mind available enlightenment
power resources. Pessoa developes his growing ability
to deal with the resistance overcoming process, fully
determined to break on through to the other side and
thereby start drawing upon the All-Knowledge infinite
supply within the mysterious depths of the subconscious
Mind. Delving into the mystery of the Heart and the
depths of the subconscious, exploring the meaning of
his true meaning in life, fine art and the genuine identity
of his creative nature, has become Antonio Pessoa's
main priority well reflected and so obviously expressed
both in his private daily self-psychotherapy rituals
and in his latest amazing and rather interesting artworks.
Experiencing the first episodes of this inner metamorphosis,
has been given the artist more than enough stimulus,
motivation and enthusiasm to carry on digging down to
the depths of the inner Mind Super Potential. Turning
on the automatic mind explorer turbine, tune in the
mind radio system and start surfing across the subconscious
network universe, is the basic essentials A B C procedure
number one before the rewarding celebration of finally
enter the natural virtual subconscious encyclopedic
labyrinth and consequently start decoding the secret
keys into plain awareness, effortlessly recollecting
vital knowledge information and, surprise, surprise,
waking up in the morning with an impressive emotional
intelligence extra power supply. The positive influence
and the super-dynamic efficiency acquired through this
inner-Mind wandering nightly exercise is the expected
moment of personal achievement and glory, this inmensely
intense pleasure of feeling the overwhelming sensation
of having absolute control upon our life and destiny,
plus a special structured creative enhancement through
which the art action will turn out to be a veritable
master fine art session astonishing performance. Sleep
on it! Antonio Pessoa sleeps while NIGHT WITS play their
tweaks and tricks. After fine-tuning the subconscious
Mind engine the artist enters the Garden of Earthly
Delight to pluck the flowers off the bush. That's the
Mind's Twilight Zone, where the clock stops working
and the new time zone is now a delicious concept of
timelessness. The natural virtual Temple of Wisdom welcomes
the artist for a wonder magical tour through the dimlit
marble halls of the infinite castle of universal knowledge
and cosmic awareness. Whispering angelic voices now
echoing against his ears, surrounding him and gently
delivering songs of wisdom, suddenly revealing answers
and unspeakable confessions for complex doubts and incisive
questions. The Light is shining at last, the hiding
place is now a bright universe of stars in shining armour,
the spiritual subconscious master essence activation
introducing integral amazing overviews of global awareness,
accelerating approaches to new models for universal
understanding, awakening his inner power, supreme energy
potential and high emotional intelligence. NIGHT WITS
tell the artist "now you will be revealed the mystery
of the inner Light and Fire that enables you to raise
the vibrations within your body to attune with and become
an instrument for your Soul, Life, Destiny and Art!
Not quite a real masterpiece for Antonio Pessoa's quality
standards, NIGHT WITS is however a charming painting
and most importantly I believe it will be widely reconized
as a puctual historic item of the artist's fascinating
commitment to the Mind subconscious discovery let alone
all the upcoming positive consequences and hopefully
miraculous feedbacks this start from the scratch first
serious experiences and daily systematic explorations
are naturally and very, very probably leading to. Pessoa's
reputation as an outstanding determined man obviously
precedes him to the point of by now having grrabed our
attention and genuine interest in what might and most
certainly will be not only another remarkable personal
achievement in the artist's life but on the whole the
great contribution all this self-psychotherapy process
surely will give on a short-term period to a contemporary
fine art performance drastic quality evolution.
