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!
