From now on, anything
is possible concerning Antonio Pessoa's professional
career, personal life, art production and lifestyle.
If all depended on luck then we could sit back, still
and quite and wait for the Lucky Stars to do the job.
Let's be realistic, things don't actually happen that
waymost of the times. So what's the catch? Definitely
not a fishing trip. More likely an investment of energy,
talent, intuition and public relations common sense.
With all the difference of opinions from the so called
"experts" on how to be a top artist in twenty
four hours, the on-going process sure requires a extreme
high level of human potential, let alone an experienced
background in the art studio, art making, talent, art
expression, technique and skills. This is something
which doesn't seem to worry an art wizard such as Pessoa.
In today's worldwide art scene, clearly on the verge
of erupting into hundreds of thousands of artists, the
art planet on the other hand is quickly loosing the
genuine talented species such as Botero, Andy Warhol,
Picasso, Georg Baselitz, Pollock, Man Ray, Frank Stella,
Thomas Baumgärtel, Antoni Tàpies, Dale Chihuly,
Will Ryman, Michael Anderson and at last but not the
least Antonio Pessoa, one of the most promising talents
of the contemporary new generation. Antonio Pessoa's
outstanding artistic achievements, art studio and public
performances so far have been showing and providing
us with some of the most prolific series of amazing
diversity contemporary avant-garde results. For the
past ten years Pessoa has been responsible for one of
the largest fine art encyclopedias on canvas, shining
in his brilliance as an inventor, sketcher, mixing and
matching manipulator, new age fine art dancer, an art
expression boundaries breaker, daring projects generator,
his wonderful spontaneous inventiveness daily updated,
successfully acomplishing a high quality innovative
artflow identified and recognized as a top contemporary
artistic phenomenon.Fact. Reasons enough so it seems,
for the world start betting on a sudden explosion of
a mythical contemporary art new wave worldwide label
titled Antonio Pessoa. Et Voilà! That's the good
news. The bad news, perhaps, is Pessoa's comfortable
procrastinating attitude, as if life should be an endless
leisure contemplative time, despite the artist's natural
capacity to sustain a fierce lasting motivation when
it comes to sudio artworking, however mitigated by a
long term home seet home hypnosis which in a way has
been feeding deep relationship with his inner self,
on the other hand also the source of the unfair delay
of his international reputation. Antonio Pessoa's communication
skills, the great artist specialized in visual problem
solving and artistic storytelling, exchanges what it
could be his pwn version of a top artist for a environmental
easy solutions, at home or at the country club, happily
following his spiritual stabilization network, as an
excuse and also a bad example for the struggling artists
from all over the world. I would say, without being
much far from the truth, that Antonio Pessoa since the
very beginning of his art odissey became fully aware
of how much public projection would always determine
the voice power and communication strengh ans flow of
art expression. However his luck strike in the early
90'sturning him into the most wealthy and productive
emerging artists of western Europe, didn't actually
change his perceptions of how little art does matter
for the public in general without a projection backup
to make it enough interesting and charismatic for the
art lovers and art collectors. Antonio Pessoa kept on
playing his cards, although plenty aware that like beauty,
luck and social position, artistic charisma could indeed
open many doors in the art scene world. Pessoa's intuitive
circuits entirely adapted to the modern times, prevented
him from taking himself too seriously and become an
artist all the way without experiencing the down-side
of the trade, always somehoe protected by his solid
rational viewing of art scene community and public.
Throughout the years Pessoa's emotional rescue came
mainly from his own inner self intuition and wisdom,
allowing him to set a stage of favorable situations
in which it was possible for him to accomplish a remarkable
fine art collection of artworks generating an unquestionable
intensive fine art research program, an endless list
of art pieces all of them reflecting a live a life you
love sort of inspiration status, dream and attitude.
All this studio fine art performance took the artist
to such a technical degree in which Pessoa at a certain
point had indeed constructed a well developed method
of easy going power of invention and real time art action
on canvas. Recently, Antonio Pessoa, always faithful
to his deepprinciples and beliefs, breaks up with the
old tendencies and model references, embracing entirely
the contemporary speech, despite his collaborators and
friends pressure to make him go on with the same old
figurative stamp. The recent series of contemporary
art reports, show us clearly a great innovative change
of his traditional art communication concept, aiming
and achieving a brand-new philosophical range, world
and lifesyle general perspective and outlook and of
course his personal life dimension as well. Antonio
Pessoa looks at the international art scene as a wonderful
fascinating huge monster, a great amount of art galleries
concentrated in the world's largest cities downtown,
precisely the sort of noisy, tremblong, erupting, rushing,
racing cement jungle, the artist tries to avoid sometimes
at any cost, even aware his artistic career depends
a whole lot on those top galleries stuck in the middle
of the breathtaking metropolitan atmosphere. More and
more comfortable in sunny small cosmopolitan spots such
as Ibiza, Mallorca, southern France and southern Portugal,
Pessoa goes on helplessly postponing his big break and
at the same time building up the sort of lifestyle which
suits his deep and real nature and conceptual perception
of time and life. This contradictory system and situation
seems to have gained a great deal of control upon Pessoa's
decisions and definitely upon the way he leads his life
and lets his artistic career follow behind as if some
higher and much more powerful voice keeps on calling
alomg the day after day essence of truth to an idyllic
perfect combination of pleasures of pure philosophical
excellent and delightful easy going glamour. Nevertheless
Antonio Pessoa's fine art goes on inevitably despite
his obvious production slowdown. Unpredictable as the
weather report, Pessoa's personal and professional artistic
life one more time remains in God's classified information
department. This seems to be so far all the planning
tips I can actually come up with and provide the readers,
despite the proven reliable Antonio Pessoa's painting
machine reputation, his specific and unique energy,
cultural heritage and contemporary fine art skills.
Private, personal and inner issues always have seemed
to be playing the vindicatory role, have always sustained
a far more expanding range of influence, than simple
matters os position, social status or regular income
in Antonio Pessoa's life, for all that matters, and
it sure does matter at least what concerns and might
affect one way or another one of the most controversial,
stimulating artisys of today's art scene. I wish I had
a hunch that one line would be enough to state a reliable
prognostic, a more consensus panel to clarify, report,
solve, reveal, the hidden secrets of the remarkable
contemporary art acrobat named Antonio Pessoa.
