Antonio Pessoa Art Maker
A self-made man, a self-made artist, sometimes disguised
as simply a life lover undercover, an original gracious
wonderful human being since his early teens simply enjoying
to let feelings and emotions out in the open through
fine art expression. So much has been said at random
of the mystery behind the artist profile and very particularly
about his adventurous life roleplaying, indeed a breathtaking
episodes roller coaster live show... However, in spite
of all this systematic amusing speculation, Antonio
Pessoa's true and basic motivation therein lies the
first key leading to the ultimate conclusion, that his
personal success is after all his pure relation with
art expression, not necessarily a religious ritual,
but actually very simply the natural spontaneous happiness
he always feels mixing colors and concepts, and in so
doing coming up with specific visual results, invariably
the meaningful reflexion of the heart and soul of a
boy who once discovered during his early teens the great
emotional symphony he could indeed experience throughout
his all day long private art making sessions. Throughout
the years up to now, Antonio Pessoa has been showing
us basically all possibilities concerning the worldwide
visual arts universe, from Modern Art to contemporary
cutting edge. However, most important of all, he has
been showing us the ultimate paradigmatic attitude of
a truthful artist, systematically and inconditionally
honest and completely faithful to his deepest beliefs,
and in so doing very often, strange and crazy as it
seems, putting his professional art carrer on Standby,
regardless of consequences, by making solid sure that
attending to the present mindfulness personal life self-
commitments would always be his priority number one!
"I Did It My Way" could eventually become
one day the title of a book or even a motion picture
about Life and Work of the artist, easily. Jazz musicien,
adventurer or art maker, Pessoa has been leading a life
inner-voice oriented, being unbreakable self-confidence
and dynamic determination the main strong and powerful
characteristics of his unique and creative personality.Fact!
From a public global perspective, one could freely assume
that his life could have been better or could have been
worse. Speculative time-wasting, if you ask me. The
art maker's life has been and it is what his heart told
him and tells him to do, how to do it and at last but
not the least, who to do it with! Antonio Pessoa, the
Art Maker, specifically since the early nineties gets
down to absolute art action, with such a striking energy
to such an extent that by the end of 2002 he had actually
accomplished an impressive encyclopedic art collection
of over seven thousand artworks, namely oils on canvas,
mixed medias, collages, acrylics on paper, watercolors
and drawings. He soon excelled at the craft, through
this intensive eight days a week art production twelve
years in a row hallucinating odyssey, exploring all
there was to explore and in so doing, reaching at light-speed
a truly remarkable technical high quality level, expertise
and mastery, let alone his well developed now easy-to-do
talented composition and invention capacity, all this
and all that, turning him into one of the most striking
artists of our times. These words of mine, based upon
true facts aim at capturing the global awareness to
identify, gaining clear understanding and consciousness
of Antonio Pessoa indeed as a living artistic phenomenon
in today's worldwide art scene. One actually has to
see it to believe it! Fact. Entering the artist's studio,
take a sit and watching him painting, is by all means
a truly unforgettable experience. It's always indeed
very exciting to attend the Art Maker's studio and witness
his live performance rhythm and style . Like an expert
ballet dancer moving about the titanic easel, filling
in the blank canvas space through successive moves of
brush strokes striking precision, only to be interrupted
by sudden short moments for totally focused perspective
measurement and deep thoughtfully reflective mental-emotional
full-swing evaluation before the composition, the show
definitely goes on and by the way extremely entertaining
indeed. The artist's spectacular performing style through
the act of creating and arranging several aesthetics
advanced essentials, managing with astounding mastery
a mixture of ingredients step by step but rather quicky
resulting to form the unified whole of a finished contemporary
fine art masterpiece, is astonishingly cinematic, something
to actually witness in order to believe it. Believe
me! Absolutely, that's the way to do it. Among the hundreds
of contemporary artists that I came to get to know personally,
unquestionably the Art Maker, live studio performer,
is by all means a unique super fine art wizard beyond
compare. Anytime, anywhere, anyhow...and, well, anyway...with
more or less worldwide projection Antonio Pessoa is
a top reference for all art lovers from all over the
planet, the best investment for the major art galleries,
a solid choice for the most passionate and distinguished
art collectors and at last but not the least, a great
contemporary positive influence for all emerging artists
on their winding way to be under their personal achievements
glaring spotlight. Antonio Pessoa Heartbeat Life is
not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by
the moments that take our breath away. The artist's
systematic visualization of a new- innovative contemporary
communication outflow, is unquestionably the Heartbeat's
heart and soul. Previously designing this worldwide-
oriented concept, inspiring an entirely revolutionary
and powerfully positive attitude towards the on-going
art scene, Antonio Pessoa, once again, shows up as the
perfect reflexion of his reputation, by suggesting with
contagious determination and enthusiasm, a brand- New
Age of art-public intercommunication, aiming at empowering
the mutual relationship precisely between art, artists,
gallery owners, art scene in general and the gigantic
community of art lovers, art collectors, media, worldwide
public. What else could actually be more exciting and
new than this pro-life, pro-art, pro-future and pro-global
communication striking futuristic concept, a truly innovative
approach for even greater dynamic flexibility directly
concerning this art-public interactive universal togetherness?
Here we go again, so let's propose a toast to the Heartbeat's
larger-than-life divine inspiration, heroic epic Project
visualising a New Era of intimate closeness between
art and public! Limitless possibilities, now that everything
seems to come so easily, the artist's secret to living
successfully, feeling and acting by the passionate rhythm
of his heartbeat. The mindset two by two dance "get-to-it-iveness"
and "stick-to-it-iveness", creates the larger
than life action super positive mood, all he actually
needs to move him towards entrepreneurial artistic freedom,
and in so doing his blazing desire for daily creativity
keeps on accumulating new concepts and inspiration flow
for future awesome oeuvre. A New Year is upon him, and
once again the almost industrial stimulating studio
art production is in full swing, pestering the artist
to slim down, starting a brand-New Era, a better phenomenon
and inspiring star. Antonio Pessoa didn't just get lucky
but instead was proactive within his life as opposed
to simply reacting to things as they occur. How does
that work? Positive Hearbeat leads to positive feelings,
these feelings lead to fantastic emotions, this striking
super emotional flux promote amazing inspiration, finally
this magical inspiration creates supreme lifestyle and
artistic outcomes! Antonio Pessoa's amazing capacity
to make art public show up to express flat-out unbarred
flipped out excitement, throughout the past recent years
got him in a very happy spotlight, identifying him as
an important symbol among contemporary top artists.
His Heartbeat seems to be the key component of intentionally
causing his wild happy attitude to naturally bring smashing
results into everyone's life. I cannot stress this point
enough! Almost telepathically communicated to the worldwide
art lovers community, expressing through art awe and
wonder, he is increasingly bound to systematically experience
this enthusiastic public effect on his overall worldwide
reputation level. Heartbeat's overwhelming force, more
than the artist's intelligence, skills, talents, money,
relationships, hi s fabulous collaborators team, reputation,
you name it...has been and it definitely is, his internal
powerful tool just to get the whole job done and most
importantly what actually takes to make his Oeuvre absolutely
achieve the now on- going contemporary smashing new
line and its global recognition. Creative visualization
has been Pessoa's main faith and persistence provider,
for all I know. The art studio veteran surely knows
by now that following through without a plan and thoughtful
action, means nothing but helplessness. Thereby, no
wonder Antonio Pessoa, among the thousands of artists
I know, he stands out prominently because he has made
a success of getting what he wants out of life. He is
successful in art studio performance ,in his career,
in his personal life and in leading a stimulating adventurous
life and exciting projects. This is the secret and many
people know it. He knows that the power to direct himself
wherever he wants to go in art and life, is provided
by his striking Heartbeat influence, energy and unbreakable
flux, systematically empowering motivation, solid beliefs
and cultivating burning imagination. The Heartbeat's
law of attraction is not a new idea in the artist's
daily rituals. It has always been there throughout his
feverish art action times...in the continuous process
of managing his professional and personal life commitments
with the sudden decision taking skills and the miraculous
ways he always indeed did manifest attaining his dreams,
one by one, step by step...as new brilliant ideas and
concepts kept on popping up in his mind and in his intuition.
Years of intensive training has shown Antonio Pessoa
that brainwaves not only provided insight into his mind
and body, but they could manage to stimulate him to
such an extent to actually enhance artistic performance,
bringing about a large variety of mental states and
emotional reactions for the incredible benefit of great
creativeness. When Pessoa comes up with an artwork such
as Heartbeat, it's once again quite obvious he is unquestionably
climbing up the hill of the super exploring multiple
magical possibilities of mind power and very specifically
emotional intelligence. And why is he so much involved
into this interesting sort of experiences? Actually,
the answers to this question are quite simple once we
fully come to understand the artist's current challenges
in agenda. The whole scene concerning his life has become
indeed a complex and rather exciting chess composition
in which checkmate is definitely not an option whatsoever
and the "Knight" is not supposed to resign
even when the situation apparently looks hopeless and
the going gets somewhat tough. Heartbeat and exact timing!
What most of us aren't quite yet aware of is that Pessoa's
public image has little or nothing to do with the real
picture of the artist's private life ,which is actually
a fascinating constant stream through the Universe's
all possibilities accelerated learning and sharing wonderfully
mysterious "Wondertopedia"! It seems Pessoa
these days only shows his latest Oeuvre to very few
people. Not anyone is actually allowed to visit his
holy Studio 7, let alone his Studio 1,where most of
the interesting things really happen. Therefore, Heartbeat,
acrylic on watercolor paper, Antonio Pessoa 2008, might
as well be a nice unexpected surprise or even an entirely
unique revelation for most of his closest friends and
the extra regular curious cats, such as Ian Dadley,
always in his well-disguised effort in order to show
not too much interest, his traditional attitude to helplessly
keep the artist underpriced. Basically enjoying his
highly productive semi- solitude, the art studio worm
keeps on painting life itself, with the neo contemporary
vision approach which is unquestionably changing on
a weekly basis, if you ask me...definitely always for
better, signing his artworks with the typical detachment
of someone who doesn't feel the urgency to herald his
own supreme greatness, and giving his paintings the
titles always faithfully based upon his deepest beliefs.
Remarkable accuracy! In the meantime, as time goes by,
the after midnight express is always available downtown,
where nothing really important seems to be happening,
however - in particular when after a pleasurable Heartbeating
creative working day, when he can't help feeling a bit
stale and in need to liven up his soul and inspiration
a bit and for a while- it turns out to be the perfect
place at the right time with the wandering crowd...to
break with the delicious routine and get that creative
something back on the track and right on time. Antonio
Pessoa's Heartbeat is essentially a universe of endless
interesting amazing possibilities, where art and life
coexist all together, as a family of dynamic concepts,
intuitively aiming at approaching world public for an
apotheosis celebration of art expression and universal
communication. Heartbeat represents the soul of Studio
1, The New Era, the artist's updated outlook of the
basic essentials of what the worldwide role of contemporary
art expression must be, particularly in times of general
doubt and emotional - conceptual fragmentation, in a
world where the urgency to achieve a global strong focus
on a truly solid catalog of new values, perception,
ideals and most important of all, cultural togetherness
at last check turns out to be a Must top of the list
number one priority ,among the worldwide art lovers
vibrating community. Antonio Pessoa Art Dealer It's
no big surprise, actually it's no surprise whatsoever
that Antonio Pessoa comes up with this watercolor entitled
ART DEALER. It might sound funny that I put it this
way, but fact is, they had it coming. Ever since his
fine art first steps in Amsterdam up to now, his relation-
chemistry with art dealers has always been an immense
display of funny, even shocking episodes marked by enough
glaringly vivid sensationalism, to become an excellent
movie script and consequently a very probable worldwide
successful motion picture. Along the past ten years,
throughout our punctual ( off the record ) late evening,
sometimes all night long pleasurable conversations,
I've become more and more familiarized with the artist's
rich content memories, particularly concerning this
behavior pattern of the art merchants he has been stumbling
upon along the way. The harassed petty annoying process
of transforming them into business partners, in spite
of always having provided him with interesting, handy,
global promotional and specifically financial facilities,
there was always the other side of the coin, so very
often growing up in the form of politely disguised suspicion,
generally ending up with a mutual resigned attitude
based upon "if you can't beat them, why not join
them" sort of idea, if you get my drift. Antonio
Pessoa's strategy of using the art dealers passion for
fast profitable income, has increased in quality and
know-how expertise, systematically provoking raised
eyebrows and cold shoulders, a situation sometimes rather
difficult to fit well into the general décor,
thereby issuing no guarantee to both one-of- a-kind
parties that the Grand Pipe of Peace smoking session
was about to be the next step of the almost take it
or leave it negotiations meeting. Thanks to this year-after-
year educational intensive experience and real- life
tutorials, a considerable immunological tolerance has
been remarkably developed as time went by, gradually
providing the artist with a rather cool shoulder- shrugging
indifference towards ruthless art market soul destroying
tricky ways. No wonder Pessoa's impressive healthy detachment
toward the worldwide art scene racing struggle, keeps
him psychologically safe and sound, basically neutral
to all different forms of pressure, such as silent treatment,
hard to get playing, pseudo-snobbery high fevers, curriculum
vitae obsessed go-betweens, you name it... Thereby it's
only natural that the extent of the artist's evasive
give me break attitude has indeed by now reached an
effortless degree of pure automatism in which the "no
pain no gain" old recipe sounds rather like a senseless,
useless outmoded quotation. However, in spite of all
these mysterious slippery shadows of the past, on the
whole, Antonio Pessoa should have no reasons to be complaining
about. As a matter of fact, let alone his reputable
working capacity, talent, skills, technical level and
prolific gifted imagination, he actually got pretty
lucky along the way by coming across real gentlemen
in the art business who managed his art career with
absolute transparency, vision and punctuality, furthermore
managing to establish a truly lifetime friendship relation
with the artist. Thanks to these highly ethical and
efficient art mediators and gallery owners, Pessoa became
a premature wealthy artist and next thing he knew he
was climbing fast up the hill, provided with the proper
stimulation, at the right place and at the right time,
feeding him with the dynamic incentive for super art
action, and consequently moving his technical improvement
process forward with such a force, to indeed such an
extent of burning creativity and passionate working
combustion that a whole lot sooner than it was to be
expected, Antonio Pessoa had become a true art studio
wizard and his brand-name an unquestionable contemporary
visual arts phenomenon. As confident as can be, from
then on, the painting machine magic had a sponsored
one way ticket to the exciting life of a successful
young professional artist. Overcoming the inevitable
series of up and down momentum shifts, Pessoa increasing
faith and belief in his oeuvre and project, was obviously
sustained by his public, clients, family, close friends
and very particularly by those exception to the rule
distinguished art mediators. Antonio Pessoa today recalls
all his endless collection of cinematic episodes with
art dealers, with a contagious smile on his face, definitely
not a bitter smile but actually a smile of cool retrospective
amusement, taking this with the right measure of healthy
detachment, all out in the open, no hard feelings whatsoever,
and absolutely not like things one would rather have
left unsaid. I'm not going to mention names obviously
to ensure my genuine respect for individuals right to
privacy, neither is Pessoa particularly interested in
stain on whoever's reputation and public image. However,
the general image and prototypical pattern of the average
art dealers, those who have become the backstage actors
of Antonio Pessoa - Fine Art productions play, after
all these years turned out to become a rather hazy in
outline cartoon-like caricature representing a cross-
between something like a raptorial bird, card shark,
buoyant bluffer, wishy-washy salesman, tricky wily,
small-time streetwise, slimy schemer, tricky Dik, foxy-sly
wiseguy... The eighteen years old young artist for the
first time experiencing back in the 80's, downtown Amsterdam,
Holland, the standard territory of weekly appoitments
with veteran art dealers, soon finds out that ironically
his strong spot (super art production speedy capacity
and artistic quality), turns out to be his fragile weak
spot as well. How come? Even back then, any art dealer
entering Antonio Pessoa's Damstraat Studio for the very
flashy first time, knew right away he had just found
a gold mine and that the priority number one was to
show no special interest whatsoever. On the other hand
the art dealer also knew that the option of letting
the bird fly away ...or shall we say, letting the gold
slip through his fingers was totally out of question.
Period. Thereby, after a short while of morbid pondering,
the edgy agressiveness was on aiming at making the artist
feel helplessly puzzled and most important of all, slippery
insecure and anxious across the nail- biting business
meeting. The young artist's huge art production let
alone his naive good-hearted innocence were the main
substantial ingredients for him to have to go through
this short-term although painfully hard art marketing
empirical apprenticeship. The art dealer's eyes were
by then already glittering with the Overstocked and
Underpriced smiley emotions greedy scintillant gleam.
Nevertheless, the smart young artist sooner than they
expected, learned the tweaks and tricks of the art business
secrets. More than enough talent was available in order
to cover both art production and art dealers fast efficient
taming operation. Furthermore, there was extra bad news
for all of them small-time artist's soul corrupters.
Antonio Pessoa at the age of eighteen was already a
full-swing professional musicien, if not a millionaire
at least definitely already making a pretty decent living
out of playing solo or with local dutch bands. This
and that plus all the other gifted resources systematically
pushing the creative sharp young man back on the right
track, turned out to be a flash splash surprise for
the mistaken victory assuming art dealers suddenly in
a wink of an eye all at once switching from business
meetings conductors to passive resigned restless spectators.
Throughout the years Pessoa indeed meets a diversity
of art dealers each and everyone of them from different
backgrounds, from various cultures, perspectives and
inevitable with different personal attitudes specifically
when it comes to deal with an artist, obviously aiming
at the essential motivation. Achieve fast profitable
right on the spot financial goals. Always in the process
of improving his ability to previsualize any art dealer's
profile before shooting, the artist's judgment accuracy
and precision became gradually more and more in tune,
like a super efficient detecting radar on the look out
for those red light warning signals of fraudulent intentions,
abusive behavior and that obnoxiously disgusting greedy
ruthlessness of the mediocre kind. Once passed the Trial
by Fire test, in the very early nineties, Pessoa has
become unquestionably an experienced soldier in the
art business "battlefield". A true surviver,
ready for the tough going, a real-life academy graduate
ready to step on the art stage. "Fait accompli"!
However, before he actually comes to meet Mr. Doright,
he still has to deal with another one of the nasty kind.
Antonio Pessoa in his late twenties is willing to drop
music for good, at least professionally and get fully
commited with fine art, switching from noisy smoky,
crowded wild night life to more suitable lifestyle in
which he feels a whole lot more well-fit for his concentration
enhancement and decreasing after midnight distractions
therefore get down to an intensive experimental period
through which he is indeed going to do his very best
in order to make his art performance consolidate into
a rather mature, impactful and enduring style. Once
again in a few months his art production bacomes an
awe eliciting colossal canvases, watercolors and drawings
collection, the result of yet another prodigious storm
of feverish creative art action. Obviously, after a
short period he reaches that stand by point in which
the artist wishes to get rid of his average quality
oeuvre in the process of making a wise quality art selection.
He always did it and still does it this way. However,
not for any price, and most importantly not giving in
by surrendering to no art dealer's whimsical, capricious
and at the art business time sensible to no other passion
but avarice. Easier said than done! In spite of the
artist's doctorial how to deal with art dealers master
diploma, this one proved to be a raging lion in the
art business Coliseum. Pessoa actually bullfights him
during almost one year the best way he knows how. Every
business meeting turns out to be a Sergio Leone like
movie, maybe "once upon a time in hell" or
"run, art dealer, run". These play and rewind
heated sessions indeed might have looked like a truly
surrealistic two- players no card deck required Poker
Game, where in this particular comedy-drama situation
the general rules were "mix a lot of skill with
a lucky charm spell" and maybe...you'll get out
alive well! The artist had long assumed that if you
take art business too seriously besides the possibility
of end up getting an overnight headache you might as
well wake up mid afternoon with one of those reality
twisted smiling hangovers just to find out you're on
your own with no art stock whatsoever and just a few
bucks in your unpatched-hole pockets. This stressful
period's happy ending was when the artist finally met
Mr. Moreira, with whom he was about to have definitely
the biggest break of the nineties. As time goes by and
his grand piano gradually becomes an untouched abandoned
dusty Steinway at the south end of his living room,
Antonio Pessoa throws himself into his most striking
art production odyssey up to then. The Golden Period
great adventure had just begun. During these super creative
smashing times the reciprocal link between the artist
and his new art agent-gallery owner and friend, couldn't
possibly have been better indeed. Not only the gallerist
provided him with a rather impressive substantial financial
punctual assistence, for the artist to have become almost
overnight a wealthy young art maker, but also Antonio
Pessoa knew how to make the best out of this only once
in a lifetime opportunity, by becoming a fully commited
eight days a week fine art professional, furthermore
improving at light speed, technically, aesthetically
and conceptually. Indeed an amazing combination of motivation,
positive energy, innovation, intensive studio action,
let alone his ever-present incandescent imagination.
Nevertheless, on the whole, I wouldn't dare try to make
you believe that from the early nineties on, the beating
around the bush art dealers eventual negotiations were
over and out for good in the hill climbing artist's
life. Not quite just yet, I'm afraid. However, the past
likewise situations quantity were severely minimized
in equal proportion to Antonio Pessoa's increasing success,
financial status and oeuvre sales rates. One way or
another this specific idea of the streetwise wiseguy
art dealer, far from having traumatized him, whatsoever,
on the contrary it provided the artist's imagination
with that spicy something which over the years, now
and then, actually managed to ignite his inspiration
just enough to come up with a reasonable amount of artworks
representing his own light-hearted (almoust hilarious)
interpretation of this art market small-timers who unfortunately
never seem to successfully grab the intelligent dynamic
context of what a long-term profitable business relationship
between artist and mediator is actually all about. What
a shame, if you ask me! Anyway... Antonio Pessoa Stage
Time Going pleasantly through the process of imprinting
new values, innovative artistic concepts and multiple
changes into his life and career, absolutely clear on
the on-going and upcoming procedures, mind made up and
totally focused on a positive affirmation of his beliefs,
directing the visual arts to the end result he wants
and the World simply adores, feeling the emotion that
goes along with self-discovery, sharing, art action,
live performance and worldwide communication, Antonio
Pessoa's life and work manifest in direct proportion
to the stimulating communication frequency between art
and public. Mainly for the past two years Pessoa has
been working with a particularly powerful creative attitude
and in the meantime in these two years he has been able
to completely change his life and consequently his artistic
message and style. It seems like there has been a blessed
miracle after miracle since he has adopted the new attitude,
outlook of life and developed his positive energy. Antonio
Pessoa's course changed the way he dared to imagine,
therefore paint and act. He's a much better person and
artist today and he has attracted wonderfull people
into his life. He has a new circle of friends, all positive,
like minded people who help him with extra-studio work,
such as clients mailing lists, exhibitions art curating,
public relations in Europe and United States ,you name
it. His new wonderful lifestyle and attitude provide
him with an infinite sense of inner peace translated
to creative extra- imagination and consequently it's
obvious his life is heading in the right direction.
The artist's success naturally is religiously following
his positive thinking optimistic rock- solid attitude
and his determination to focus on making art the best
way he knows how. And, by the way, believe me, he definitely
does know how! Enjoy this amazing contemporary fine
art that already has become even more colorful, lively,
exciting and new. Stage Time, acrylic on canvas, Antonio
Pessoa 2008, tells us about certain events ( eventually!
),magnetic experiences and unique people he systematically
draws into his life, apparently almost as by magical
currents. Stage Time, more than visioning, it reflects
the artist's day-to-day studio, social and professional
outs and abouts, explicit prevailing challenges, in
short, the essential factors in the positive influences
Universe around him, life's dynamic articulation itself,
a whole of summarized activities, of mastering intense
living efficiency and the inevitable art vision always
ready to create new worlds, as the artistic alternate
reality. What is indeed interesting is that Pessoa in
Stage Time seems to be willing to define his adventurous
real-life episodes as aesthetic and convincingly abstract.
Exploring life, illuminating the viewers and imagining
anyplace, anytime between the present and the future...
or even maybe, eternity. Systematically growing and
coming up with innovative art expression possibilities
in an ever-changing global contemporary art scene, Pessoa
proves to be driven by his solid commitment to continuous
quality improvement and to exceeding our expectations.
Let the dice roll, seems to be the message of this canvas
punctually entitled Stage Time, as if shouting "the
show must go on", maybe another artwork aiming
at cultivating living burning desire, enough plausible
arguments to be found in this painting's almost random
magnetism, or to put it in another way, very probably
the artist is actually underlining the guidelines of
super-living, stating it's about time for full swing
action, spectacular situations, glamorous moments succumbing
to the temptations of the flesh? Apparently to many
ifs and buts. At last check, maybe what's at stake it's
for him to know and for the viewer to find out. After
all, that's the beautiful mystery of art, if you ask
me. It's obvious Antonio Pessoa doesn't forget to take
time to visualize life's edge, no boundaries required
whatsoever, probably the most important and exciting
might as well be the exhilaration he feels upon creating
visual situations pretending they have already happened
...and Bingo! He is right there where he wants to be!
Fabulous, flashy, ambiguous and unique, leaving the
art lover waiting until tomorrow for the next chapter
of the artist's Stage Time. Nevertheless, one way or
another, the idea and most importantly the unbreakable
Stage Time attitude has always been Antonio Pessoa's
omnipresent playground. A professional musicien since
the age of fourteen, no wonder he is definitely a stage
veteran, a Life Stage veteran, experienced in the art
of direct communication, and at last check, familiarized
with the fascinating real-life divine madness, in a
manner of speaking. Throughout his life, musicien, traveller
and artist, experiences life stage performance while
developing his views and thereby empirically learning
what's absolutely required and necessary to be a sovereign
master of this reality show like real- time communication.
Antonio Pessoa's insight as he here obviously proclaims
that life is a stage and we are the actors on that stage,
leads him to come up with another charming painting
whose title combines and heralds his vision of what
the essential nature of existing and sharing a world
such as our planet is actually all about. Basically
random thoughts inspired by his everyday living, a range
of conclusions sources plus a whole sea of people admitting
and fully understanding that indeed after all life is
but a stage. Stage Time engages the viewer by clearly
projecting and helping to identify this Playing-Living-Learning-Acting
positive attitude, a difference that after all makes
the difference between small-time nickel-and-dime mediocrity
and big-time personal success. According to the artist's
cognitive latest experiences, Stage Time had to be born
sooner or later pointing out this concept, inevitably
supporting the evidence of the explicit message of this
canvas. The author's beliefs and feasible approach to
perceiving, experiencing, living, learning and consequently
adopting a truthful and reliable role as a star on life's
stage, as far as I can recall it has always been one
of Antonio Pessoa's priorities, whenever it comes the
time to be once again inevitably involved in the fascinating
and sometimes stressful display of events and very often
unexpected awkward situations, the educational how-to
Bible, life's stage, this only in a lifetime mysterious
performance we all have to experience, deal with, share,
play the best way we know how and preferably enjoy.
Through this increasing process of giving contemporary
art a new voice, Pessoa goes on and on surprising us
with his natural gift and ability to congratulate the
art lovers with a large field of immortal subjects,
looking at the outside world's orchestra as a composer
listening, hearing, watching and observing in order
to capture and thereby express the music and poem of
life's adventure, flame and challenge, using the visual
tools as an accurate interpretation of existence, adding
some magical special effects, however clearly and truthfully
reporting what we intimately already know, but yet love
to see it rearranged by the delicious reality filter
only art can provide. Experienced in dealing with real-life
with means at hand and circumstances as they are, he
is by now supposed to be seriously accepted as a truly
reliable wisdom source and a valuable reference, not
only in today's art scene but mainly within the whole
of the worldwide talented observing greatminds, determined
to reach the highest level of awareness and most importantly,
share valuable conclusions, after all and as time goes
by the infinite greatest contribution for, indeed a
better world to live in. Antonio Pessoa's communication
power through art is based on his intention and sharp
conscience and on how he actually proves systematically
to be more and more capable to draw on the creative
process as a spiritual path. After endless examinations
of how Pessoa indeed manages to make the soul visible
through abstract fine art, challenging us to aim high
with his punctual visual literature, bringing beauty
and a fresh outlook of life to our depleted and cynical
world, I easily jump once again to the final conclusion
that his Life Stage concept talks basically about the
key role of our inner mind, perception and ideology
when it comes the time to open the doors and get in
the racing flow of passionate actions creating successive
magnetizing waves of causes ands effects as the ultimate
commitment to something so eternal and wonderfully essential
as the challenging process of making our dreams come
true! Antonio Pessoa STUDIO 1 Now that the mild mediterranean
winter is gone once again the whell of the year has
brought the warm air and the sugary smell of springtime,
inspiring bursts of colors exploding in the sky then
landing in the artist's studio up for a happy display
of art sessions as they float down the river of Antonio
Pessoa's imagination, the magical springtime creative
fuel inspiring wall-size images, gorgeous motions, amazing
tales and awesome contemporary fireworks! Now that the
hibernation is over the create- criteria is back again,
a warm welcome back Mr. Art Magician, after the festive
cold December Saturday Nights it seems we now have a
full calendar of live studio performance, the one thing
about Pessoa we fortunately can always count on. The
artist is once again inspired, motivated and willing
to share that gifted talent with others. We expect him
to remain rock-solid back in business in order to approach
his art magic in better and more powerful ways. So let's
take a trip through the world of the charismatic fine
art storyteller, meet the man, see his ideas, feel his
emotions and enjoy his lastest oeuvre. Welcome my friends
to Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1, the space where it's taking
place another intensive, unpredictable art action period.
The artist's Home Studio is now divided in seven departments,
each one of them specially equipped with huge stocks
of art material for different specific functions performances.
With this plurality of art labs, the artist moves about
the mansion, his living and creative domain, a professionally
organized art factory, where the upcoming fine art wonders
are just about to happen, certainly bound to give birth
to another astonishing art collection. That's the life,
that's the way to do it, Ladies and Gentlemen, in order
to accomplish his traditional, reputable super art production,
from drawings to collages, from watercolors to king-size
canvases. Here comes the sun and consequently here comes
another artistic marathon which surely will culminate
in yet another amazing series of striking contemporary
artworks. During the year 2007, Antonio Pessoa becomes
one of the most reviewed artists in the world, thanks
to my spare time retired reporter condition and a very
special thank you to Pierre Fontanals, Luis Santiago
and Nancy Anderson, just to mention a few, who had the
ability to know how to establish and maintain a fantastic
teamwork spirit and light atmosphere. Also a very special
thank you to the artist for his punctual, regular collaboration
concerning our private and group sessions, providing
us with truthful and accurate information about his
past and current life outs and abouts, plus his remarkable
assistance related to helping us to understand and decipher
the deep meaning of his huge oeuvre artworks, one by
one. Like old valuable manuscripts, translating, interpreting
Pessoa's past and current artworks plus rather relevant
aspects of his past and current private life, providing
exemplary and valuable information to our customers
and public, has been and it is always a rather intensive
laborious task, let alone putting it all down in words,
turning them into easy-digest literature articles aiming
at a wide range of art lovers and public in general,
which is the final process, however definitely not the
easiest one. Since the extravagant golden years of Antonio
Pessoa's renown, even mythical and legendary Romantic
Period, 1997-2202, Studio 1 in the year 2007 succeeded
becoming one more time a brand-new version of the late
nineties artistic production phenomenon, this time now
featuring the positive prominent aspects and best characteristics
of a serious full-lengh commitment to a totally original
new line of striking contemporary fine art. Financially
supported by a list of more than five thousand regular
clients, local and international, Antonio Pessoa uses
this particular privilege to create totally stress-free,
focused on his studio work and most importantly making
truly artistic wonders with no negative interferences
whatsoever, let alone the highly annoying stigma of
worry, rush, hurry and smashing pressure. Therefore,
it's been within this pleasurable and relaxing microclimate
that the positive atmosphere of Studio 1,gave and gives
birth to the most genuine Antonio Pessoa's quality art
performance up to now.Fact. 2007 has been a year of
great ideas and new accomplishments, increasing the
artist's composition level and skills. Most importantly
it's been a year throughout which Pessoa has proven
to have the proper knowledge, determination and vision
to reinforce his style and brand, and in so doing building
a general idea and reputation concerning his new oeuvre,
the wonderful purity of his contemporary fine art cutting
edge. Easy and readable for the average viewer, transparent
and impactful for the erudite art-connoisseurs educated
taste, in spite of the great amount of mystery and ambiguity,
purposefully challenging the eye and the senses with
the sweet-bitter flavour of vagueness, that playful
misleading multi-defined symbology with a value which
arouses our aesthetic pleasure before a specific oeuvre
when the boundaries of meaning are indistinct. Still
too premature to tell and comment from such a short
perspective the extent to which Studio 1 is going to
become another mythical historic prodigious phenomenon
such as Antonio Pessoa's Romantic Period, we might as
well however consider the possibility that this previously
explored area, might actually already be moving upwards
in such an apparently invisible manner we can't afford
to detect, let alone see, for the results haven't quite
yet turned out to be unquestionable facts, nevertheless,
knowing the artist's creativeness, imagination and power
of attraction, one should already safely assume, presume
and even take for granted that eventually anything is
possible, even our wildest dreams and expectations related
with Pessoa's upcoming soon future, no matter how skeptical
our worldly common sense tells us our outlook should
be. Five breathtaking years have gone by since the last
days of the Romantic Period, definitely not an eternity
yet a space in time adventurous enough to launch the
idea that indeed Antonio Pessoa should be by now a different
man from the light cheerful one from those extravagant
days of Atlantis. However this concept or evaluation
could easily make it sound like the overstatement of
the century. In spite of the inevitable facts, priority
issues plus the artist's current general situation aren't
what they used to be, the man's nature remains intrinsically
the same whereas his maturity has developed a trained
discernment, inevitably conducting to a substantial
body of new and stronger capabilities, a new fundamental
inner-self emotional autonomy and obviously a remarkable
updated approach to contemporary art expression and
communication. The artist's 2007 Timeless Time Art Collection
- http://timelesstime-artcollection-ap.blogspot.com
- can be used as the most reliable mirror, reflecting,
witnessing, reporting and consequently helping us to
reinforce this theory and subscribe to this point of
view, for it's plenty understood by now that Antonio
Pessoa's latest oeuvre has the conspicuous self biographical
caliber and attitude of a diary. Paintings such as Universal
Time, Free, Out of the Blue, Cosmic Cognition, Spiritual
Light, Night Wits, Burning Flame, Living Joy, Night
Gospel, etc, show us clearly the artist's full commitment
to an evolutionary path for a self discovery therapy
intensive apprenticeship. Through this systematic daily
ritual focused on exploring health and wellness, self-
discipline, personal growth and spiritual power, Antonio
Pessoa reaches a dimension of art expression of broad
sensorial horizons and consequently attracting and leading
the viewers to this wonderful, fulfilling experience,
embarking them on the realms of the mind's infinite
inner potential. This spiritual transformation steadiness,
has been so far the step by step progress to mastery,
which made way for a considerable amount of followers
willing to share, learn and grow with the available
intructing support, tutorials and guidance of Pessoa's
knowledge and wisdom. Even some of his pragmatically
irrefutable pro-real-life skeptical good old friends
such as Ariana Sabugal, Marie Louise Lambert, Carmen
Olaya and Marc Gilot, seem to have unconditionally surrendered
to the tempting delights and well- being excellent prospects
of the artist's spiritual method at last check. Marie
Louise Lambert and Marc Gilot after a couple of weeks
living in the relaxing peaceful comfort of Antonio Pessoa's
Studio 1,went back to Paris with a new outlook of life
and most importantly genuinely converted to the Universal
Awareness rewarding principles. No big surprise after
all. These purifying winds of changes blowing across
the artist's life and perception, driving him to looping
and swirling into a more relaxed spiritual state, have
proven to be the expected prophetic reference featuring
an entirely new living formula and lifestyle, opening
windows overlooking a freshwater river of freedom, happiness
and heavenly joy. Thereby, no wonder that creative visualization,
spiritual growth, mind power, free inspiration, turned
out to become the essential keys for Antonio Pessoa's
increasing personal success, let alone the materialization
of one of his most striking quality contemporary fine
art series. Striving to provide an affordable alternative
to average contemporary art, Antonio Pessoa's approach
to developing a totally new concept of abstract fine
art came up with brilliant results mainly during the
past two years, by creating through spontaneous action
art an absolutely free style, in which an impressive
traffic of colors and symbols play an important role
in providing the viewer with thousands of interpretation
options prominently featured like a magic engine, and
in so doing the artist manages to pull in a significant
immediate steady stream of awesome visual illusions.
In spite of going on using the traditional fine art
thecnical concept of the great modern masters, Pessoa
indeed succeeds creating a cutting-edge innovative visual
potential with additional subjective codes, the viewers
readily join and enjoy with effortless increasing curiosity,
enthusiasm and amusing uncertainty. If Antonio Pessoa
- Romantic Period's Studio Atlantis was characterized
by an extravagant atmosphere, the soul of a vast scenery
of hiper-intensive art performance, modern art-oriented,
Studio 1, has been so far cultivating a worldwide attitude
and a flamboyant outlook of today's art scene, fact
which results flow turned out to be a dynamic on-going
project inspired by a strong, impactful contemporary
fine art prototype plus an artistic unmistakable stamp
and brand. The immense potential of Pessoa's Studio
1, is as yet far from being fully worked out and for
a long time to come will have to prove the effectiveness
of its intentions, by meeting international specific
targets and furthermore be able to understand the demands
and timing of a whole new generation of art gallery
owners, art collectors, art lovers, media and worldwide
public. Studio 1's Project is surfing through multiple
waves of fresh ideas and new concepts, not only related
with the creation of a relevant new abstract formula
of contemporary art but also inspired by Antonio Pessoa's
increasing interest in the rewarding process of the
discovery of inner self and subconscious mind infinite
potential. These and those issues are actually succeeding
creating a rather amazing togetherness making way for
both a new spiritual vision and the new art vision already
an on-going full swing experimentation, which results
are by now available for the world's eye throughout
the artist's latest series. However unpredictable as
life itself, Antonio Pessoa's Studio 1 already highlights
an overview into the future, personal methods of extracting
innovative artistic and practical solutions, by now
stimulated by the public reactions and effects to the
artist's latest creative proliferation let alone his
quality art expression achievements and striking improvement.
Antonio Pessoa Perception Nothing is ever too much,
nothing is ever too universal, nothing is ever too wonderful
when it comes the time for any art lover to enter Antonio
Pessoa's world of Perception, Art, Poetry and Awareness.
As in the final countdown, his life has developed the
wildest ride of a thrilling cyclone roller coaster,
pleasure mixed with Blues, quickly become a firm creative
power, one of those that turns you upside-down. If you
don't know what it is like to really live on the edge,
then take my good advice and start reading all you can
about Antonio Pessoa, the most brilliant and thrilling
adventure of today's contemporary art scene.Fact! All
reviews and information about the artist are essentially
a breathtaking unique biography, mixing chills with
fun, mixing art with life itself. Danger, passion, intense
emotions, blues and Opera, Comedy and Drama, are the
face of one of the world's most spectacular cutting
edge artists. PERCEPTION? Find the answer to this question
and millions more, in this enjoyably dark, yet still
very sensual and romantic lifestyle. Straight right
up to the tension filled final of every of his artistic
and real-life performances, when he will have you on
the edge of your emotional box. Perception, acrylic
on canvas, Antonio Pessoa 2007,is unquestionably a result
of many years of studio art action experience, research
and reflection, a brilliant colorful abstract painting
where the viewer is face to face with images propagating
amazing waves of colors, light and sound being pleasantly
thrown to the eye and our senses right from the canvas
surface. One of the most charming artworks of Pessoa's
2007 art collection, Perception has that special buzz
of excitment, rapid vibration, motion and strong visual
impact, yet it's soothing something projects almost
a healing energy for mind, body and the eye, inspiring
poetic sensations of pure organic fountains, plus that
chromatic quality in the whole of its exuberant, abstract,
sensuously radiant affinities of colors and symbols.
Expressing a new vision and a totally new artistic vocabulary,
Perception has that abstract expressionism unique lyrical
style, nevertheless also clearly influenced by surrealism,
conceptual art, yet never missing the futurism artistic
design Pessoa is so fond of, thereby creating that linear
decorative dynamic impact, plus a reaction leading to
subjective and entirely free interpretation. Regardless
of his increasing artistic skills and striking creativeness,
Antonio Pessoa becomes more and more popular mainly
for his unique lifestyle and his inner-self personal
achievements, acquiring world-renown prestige and wide
credibility, through the stimulating and rewarding process
of how to unlock his full potential for striking artistic
performance, personal success and a high quality professional
level, becoming his international autograph, the significance
of how his impressive fast self-improvement in all areas
and attitudes has indeed accelerated his echoing reputation
as a fully commited spiritual guide, expert, let alone
his highly-respected artistic vision, inner and universal
Perception. Paying tribute to him and in faithful recognition
of his multiple achievements, close friends, collaborators,
art critics, clients, art collectors and soul mates
of the fine art trade, now frequently honor him with
a natural awestruck approach and genuine admiration.
Entering his studio, very often demanding his wise advice,
show us clearly how so many people enjoy being in the
realms of his glowing positive energy, happy, free,
safe and at ease before his charismatic and charming
manner in which Pessoa's ambiguous relation with life,
people and the Universe, translates a highly advanced
Perception, making obvious that living feeling alive
is not a special gift or a way of going through life,
but actually the only one. Perception, the dream of
life creativeness as outcome of Antonio Pessoa's number
one priority, it starts in the character of a solid
experienced artist, reinforced through daily research
in all areas with inspiring enthusiasm, attracting affection,
love and respect among all his friends, collaborators
and public in general. If indeed Pessoa is helplessly
becoming a inevitable life coach, that's not what's
at stake right now, for most importantly is the fact
he is becoming one of the most inspiring art wizards
of today's art scene. Antonio Pessoa's Perception creates
clarity and eliminates doubt, invents a higher level
of positive motivation, his confidence in himself and
in his abilities grow, the artist actually sees what
he can be! Often, the hardest thing about visioning
is actually having the Perception of what we want to
bring into existence can actually be accomplished. To
really make it happen, and he sure does, Pessoa supersedes
his own doubts and has a sense of certainty that what
he wants can be accomplished. The artist on his vision
has a faith in Perception that is greater than his fears
and it's willing to open his mind to see beyond the
confines of what he is facing today. Remarkable, indeed!
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 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
