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.
