Space, mixed media on
canvas, Antonio Pessoa 2007, besides establishing and
expressing a definite new line of aesthetics, plus an
apparent simplicity despite its complex set of effects,
let alone the traditional pattern of chromatic abundance
in a well combined display of emotional and motion variations,
reflects clearly the artist's growing commitment to
the inner methaphysical dimension of spiritual togetherness,
mind and body exploring and experiencing the vast horizons
of deep revelations, that supreme moment in time and
space fusion when after the shutting down of all negative
interferences, the sensorial Space becomes the whole
universal, where wisdom, knowledge and awareness flow
in spherical positive and bright radiations like shining
stars into our soul. Antonio Pessoa expresses in Space
the light of eternal wisdom, love and inner power when
spiritual sight breaks through a vision of cosmic reality,
that level of metamorphosic bridge between nothingness
and rebirth! As the figurative elements quickly fade
away, a new breeze of inner contentment and deep serenity
art expression spreads across the canvas field, unwinding
the space far from any suggestions definition based,
supplying genuine concepts of pure and universal abstract
thought, not only in a total contemporary format but
most importantly with a manner of speech inspired by
simplicity, spontaneous in its making and art expression,
bound to a lightning approach for immediate communication
with the viewer. The transformation of art from solid
into liquid, that's how Antonio Pessoa melts the light
atmosphere of cosmic discernment into colors and shapes,
pure contemporary fine art easy digestibility literature,
embellished by soft beauty looking poetry not only reflecting
an advanced fluxus of perception and emotional design,
but a global heartfelt determination to share, spread
and absolutely communicate. Antonio Pessoa's now everyday
life's faithful listening, discovering the truth, clearly
enables him to come up with amazing artistic choices
such as Space, where the Divine awakening ritual, spirit,
possession and even mysticism, bowls well out in the
open in the full glare of a new life's shining sun,
of a new life's burning flame. This personal option
to turn his art career a less and less urgent, even
important issue, and in the meantime his personal life
a first priority self-improvement wonderful procedure,
always counting on all the lovely people, those who
wish to make our planet a much better world to live
in, might be Pessoa's most remarkable achievement of
the New Millennium . Impressive but entirely true, the
increasing attitude aiming to convert himself into a
paradigmatic model of serene strengh, love, positive
emotional freedom and happiness. And in so doing, we
gradually can count on a valuable and creative presence
of a faithful bright new age voice sender, expressing
himself through art and hopefully more and more throughout
the world. I personally believe there is no way back,
now that artist Antonio Pessoa walked out for good from
the lascivious lifestyle of the Romantic Period, the
lustful times of an artist looking for something or
even someone he hasn't found after all those years of
fine art theatrical fantasmagory and seven days a week
night life cocktail. Those days are gone and gone forever,
no doubt about it,the only loose ends remaining is the
foggy memory, as cloudy episodes of another period,
another time, another life's extravaganza, cinematic
and burlesque, lavishious delights, passionate childish
exhibicionism and euphoric social performance. After
all Antonio Pessoa is well aware that all those maddening
precipitation events that followed the bohemian Romantic
Period days, if not God's punishment for the artist's
rebellious behaviour, at least it has been a long cold
black night in his soul and in his life as well, a long
time enough of storm and hurricane just enough to be
face to face with tragedy and consequently to regret.
That's when a self instructional program comes up as
an open door and many open windows overlooking a new
world of perception, well-being, sharing, confort, love
and happiness. After the long crossword puzzle, Antonio
Pessoa suddenly finds himself in front of a wisdom whispering
mirror,telling him Divine Light is the only place in
the Space. The artist's self-improvement proficiency,
as in many troubled times throughout the years of his
adventurous journey, once again has rescued him from
the howling monster, transforming anxiety into supreme
serenity, as the awesome complexity of existence all
of a sudden gently appears dressed up like a magician
with angel wings. Space, beyond the harsh atmosphere
of life's struggle, Space, a set of wonderful dimensions
in which the fundamental abstract concept seems to be
the only relevant definition of time, existence and
sense. Space, an infinite independent location that
challenges systematic notions of pressure, tension and
friction. Space, the pure natural awareness where philosophical
questions are gently mitigated by Universal Acceptance!
