There is an old saying
that we can accomplish a lot if we "set our mind
to it"... that is very true, and it particularly
makes a lot of sense if we take as best example, the
inner consistency, conviction, talent, certainty, wisdom,
kno wledge and attitude of contemporary artist Antonio
Pessoa and his increasing power to create. Soul Fire!
Years ago, breaking free of his old patterns, Pessoa
grabs the attention of a wide audience, not only becoming
a life guru, but what's really at stake and most importantly,
coming up with an impressive cutting edge abstract (neo-
surrealistic) series which visual effects succeed to
take the viewer beyond pseudo-intelectual reason (or
confusion)... straight high up into the universe of
ultimate emotional ecstasy. Antonio Pessoa is much talked
about nowadays but how many of us have really understood
him, his message and his Oeuvre to put him once and
for all in the reputable world of the Great Masters?
Obviously many, however the future is just about to
surprise us far beyond our expectations with a new exciting
movie about the Masterpiece of a Genius, which script
is inevitably in the complex but enthusiastic process
of being written. An Art Expert, an artist or a Life
Guru? That's the ultimate question concerning Pessoa's
top priorities, as the world goes round and round and
time eventually goes by. Knowing the artist as we know,
even so, the secret and the mystery is ultimately for
him to know and for all of us to find out. However,
one thing is true, Antonio Pessoa and his unique capacity
to relax, and in so doing just letting go, more than
remarkable, is a well developed skill he uses and commands,
a quality so intimate that even his willingness to share,
oftentimes is not enough when it comes to when many
fans and clients, friends and art collectors want to
know and learn the trick behind the Great Master of
Reality. Art expression, international language as it
is and must be, knows its limits, the abstract message
inevitably subjective, ambiguous as visual poetry. The
whole deep truth about this mysterious and unique man,
can only be felt through intuitive interpretation, even
when effective communication and world wide web information
about his Art and Life, concentrate the efforts in providing
the public with as clear as possible reviews and news
tips in order to let out in the open the big riddle
of the artist's inner self and private life. One way
or another, for the artist there is one unquestionable
issue. Always! The time to magically open up is Now.
Labelled as Soul Fire, energy, love, action and creativity,
these are the elements involved in achieving abundance
in Art and Life, while Pessoa, the Master of Wisdom
trusts the universal time, the universal principles
and laws and the perfect alignment to simply afford
pleasurably work, live, enjoy anf letting go. Yes, Belief
underlies the whole process. The belief that there are
no other options but to know exactly how to accomplish
whatever is on his mind, whatever is on his list, whatever
is burning on his soul. An excellent equation, a brilliant
combination. However, how it all comes about is still
an awesome miracle to many. No Miracle, whatsoever.
It's all about Soul Fire and inspired action. Antonio
Pessoa's intuition tells him his thinking mind where
to look next, what to do next, and what to paint next.
It's a very exciting intuitive and personal issue-unquestionably
a very exciting way of living - between the artist and
his feelings. He trusts his feelings and feelings don't
lie. More than Soul Fire, what's really at stake and
what we are really talking about is the artist's reknown
intuition and it sure works. Voilà! No problem
can withstand the onslaught of persistent thought. That's
the magical place where Antonio Pessoa's imagination
meets reality. This impressive structure - the artist
makes his starting point for whatever he is up to -
that's after all his ultimate conclusion and awareness
of being blessed with a super computer more powerful
than any other computer on this planet. His Mind! An
artist who lets nothing stand in the way of his Vision
agreed. Pessoa hit a nerve with the masses. Is it because
art collectors so desperately want more new-unique references
they can buy and exhibit in their art collections? Or
maybe the need goes much deeper. Maybe the whole Art
Scene community want to understand whatever it is that
is happening with the artist's exciting New Art and
obviously with his rather mysterious private life and
whereabouts...when after all that has been written it's
easy to conclude that it's all a question of quality
metaphysics and personal options. The latest Art and
Life news speak about the artist's intensive self-actualization
as one of the highest levels he has reached in the past
eight years, which includes being independent of the
worldwide Art Scene racing competition, which means
being detached from creating Art and living a life ruled
by fake principles, fashion, average tendencies and
most importantly by a global definition of what's quality
Art or not. And this is where another distinction needs
to be made. The true facts is that Pessoa invariably
believes that making Art with the purpose of wealth,
fame and even power is ultimately a load of crap and
absolutely out of question . In other words, on the
other hand and in the meantime, Antonio Pessoa's Art
and Life is meant for a higher spiritual purpose, where
everything fits, and everything makes perfect sense,
which is his substantial requirement for staying seriously
and also professionally present in today's contemporary
Art Scene, in the exciting process of a New Art Vision
and a joyful inner life best spirit to go with. Dreaming
big dreams, Antonio Pessoa lets his Soul Fire excite
greater passions and make them align with a higher purpose.
Simply what he loves to do. Incresingly honest and systematically
capturing the essence of his inner self-versus- "reality",
a particular area of priority interests, tastes, favorites,
vocations, models and desires, lead him to a magnificent
universe of today-here-right now world of abundance,
images and sounds, ideas and unique concepts, being
added to the map of his Art and Life as branching lines
from the world within, expressed through Fine Art to
the world out there. Having captured the Mind and Soul's
keynotes and keywords of the ultimate guide which is
self - consciousness and global awareness, beyond appearances
and fake illusions, the artist has no more doubts that
Art and Life can actually be programmed to expect real
and virtual results and amazing outcomes, that only
absolute command of destiny can provide and make possible.
That's How, When and Where, all the linkage fit together
as an endless universe of multiple striking possibilities
all involved in creating a wonderful context - equation
of Art and Living. Definitely, for the artist there's
no other option but to go forward, share his ideas with
others, follow his beliefs and be rewarded knowing that
his fellow artists, friends and obviously himself, can
easily carry the world before them. The Art Scene is
irrelevant at this point of extreme freedom and healthy
detachment. Day by day as he goes on (despite obstacles,
resistance, adversity and setbacks...), his life gains
momentum, as his artistic inspiration deepens, as his
reputation crystallizes, the public gains understanding
and art collectors come to realize that Antonio Pessoa's
Oeuvre is no random pile of colors, studio tricks or
special effects, but a visual living description inspired
by a new light, a new force, a solid confidence and
a greater power each day. Pessoa makes absolutely clear,
that Art and Life is the Mirror of the creative Mind,
and all experiences in Art and Life are the result of
positive predominant mental attitude. This is the fantastic
beauty and power of the world within, a world Antonio
Pessoa explores and expresses through contemporary Fine
Art, always the best of everything he has to show and
share with all of us from all over the planet.
