Antonio Pessoa: Blog Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:24:30 -0600 http://worldwide-antoniopessoa.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/46b50ade31ef906f33d64cc3c5df741e_47a24a9a.writeback Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:24:26 -0600 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. http://worldwide-antoniopessoa.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/1858ac3b0b4bac9a22aa1418603002cd_47a0c365.writeback Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:35:17 -0600 Vicente Fernandez Lago y Antonio Pessoa se concentran an los detalles de base como para tanto uno como el otro lograr rapidamente una estabilidad anímica de forma a sacar adelante lo que según todas las probabilidades va a ser uno de los proyectos artisticos contemporáneos más fascinantes y estimulantes tanto para ellos y sus colaboradores,como para las galerias de arte de primera división,coleccionistas de arte de reputación mundial sin olvidar todos los eruditos aficionados y amantes de las artes plásticas. Este es el punto intermedio entre la resignación y el éxito.Es sabido que la resignación mata el corazón mientras no hay mayor esperanza que el éxito en el objetivo más apreciado. Escuelas que piensan,Nación que aprende,indiscutuble sabiduria tiene este refrán,ya que muy lejos de tratarse de ciencia ficción,abarca una metodologia de trabajo de equipo urgente y absolutamente imprescindible a la hora de cortar el hipo de la esperanza sin llama ni fama. Hablando de proyectos,parece ser más y más evidente para todo el mundo que el enorme impacto de las últimas obras de Pessoa,según la línea más contemporánea y dinámica del artista hasta ahora, refleja una sabia gestión del cambio visual que puede gravitar en el futuro como una nueva generación de modelos plásticos de enorme capacidad inventiva y innovadora. Indudablemente,la perspectiva ahora mismo indica que en su conjunto llegara a ser más creadora,imaginativa y notablemente más popular y mediática que la única y magnánima producción artistica de la Época Romántica,1997-2002. Por consiguiente no es dificil adivinar de que la bueanaventura del Proyecto compartido entre Vicente Fernandez Lago y Antonio Pessoa,depende sobremanera de todo un incentivo cuyo objectivo es impulsar el espíritu inventivo y las capacidades técnicas del artista y experto en arte,de forma a que se conviertan en soluciones y proyectos de acción concreta,una actividad en la que la cuestión de ingenio,creatividad,desarrollo y merecido reconocimiento universal,solo eso puede hacer con que el mecenas del artista logre finalmente cobrar los derechos de todos sus esfuerzos hasta ahora,generando valor para este equipo de dos amigos,cumplices y profesionales,que alcanzará hasta lo imposible una vez llegada la hora en que los dos personajes de la historia establezcan una línea de conducta,estratégia y comunicación,asegurando el éxito de una operación que a lo largo de la última década ha atendido a más de 4.000 coleccionistas de arte y ha logrado una envidiable autonomia en el apasionante potencial del mercado de arte de la Península. Afortunadamente,al contrario de hace diez años ya no se trata tanto de hacer de las tripas corazón,sino de la consciencia global del mundo del arte contemporáneo,el cumplimiento esencial de toda una operación y su puesta en marcha. Vicente Fernandez Lago,reafirmando publicamente de que se divierte tanto como para invertir diez años de su vida,tiempo y energia en la promoción de la obra de Antonio Pessoa,de ninguna manera su épico carisma de líder,mecenas,marchante,relaciones públicas y administrador de toda la plástica del artista,le hace olvidar un camino abierto,un importante y ya consagrado hecho en diversas áreas,sin embargo también dandose cuenta de que mucho ha cambiado,afortunadamente para mejor,pero un panorama distinto en que el concepto de circulación internacional ha ganado suficiente credibilidad como para programar nuevas páginas en la agenda. Por consiguiente,pensar y debatir responsable y libremente,asi es como Vicente Fernandez Lago y su artista visualizan proyectos presentes y futuros como algo prioritario,um amplio abanico de posibilidades que vale la pena actualizar,aplicar,concretar y por supuesto,disfrutar. El mecenas del artista de la Nueva Era,desde hace cinco años ha adoptado el camino de las nuevas tecnologias ofreciendo a su equipo de colaboradores nuevas formas de personalizar la promoción de la obra de Pessoa,dando la bienvenida a nuevas y fantásticas opciones relacionadas al tema de nuevas ideas,conceptos y estratégias,como fundamentos imprescindibles de este proyecto artístico,peninsular,europeo,universal,a sabiendas de que el plan de acción para el siglo XXI,mucho más que atraer a determinados sistemas de acceso dentro del panorama artistico internacional,ya esboza recursos avanzados según la vanguardia cultural y inevitablemente comercial. Si desde el año 2005 la obra de Pessoa ha empezado a vibrar de una forma más que inesperada,espectacularmente impactante,sorprendente dentro de una línea de narración plástica donde más que el mensaje,existe indudablemente un mayor grado de sabiduria visual comunicativa cuya preocupación primordial de expresión artistica ha resultado en un relato muy bien escrito a través de una excelente apuesta en las emociones y en los sentimientos,entablando una conversación Arte- Público,logros de un sexto sentido experimentado que ahora mismo se convirtio en una pelicula de inspiración totalmente contemporánea y hasta futurista,llena de magia y de fuerza,que desconcierta por la falta de lógica,sin embargo que logra sacar a la luz el más representativo triunfo del fenómeno fascinante del misterio del universo interior,alcanzando el alma del enigma humano emocional,a través de un llamativo juego de colores,formas y de un prominente teatro de energia en movimiento y sobre lienzo. Asi que, mientras Antonio Pessoa se adentra y se calienta en un viaje a los confines del universo de la super producción artistica una vez más,Vicente Fernandez Lago,el gran meteorito de la acelerada expansión internacional del artista,manifiesta el impulso de la energia de alguien que tiene ahora mismo un encuentro predestinado con un gigantesco proyecto,un desafio estimulante,una promesa de una perspectiva cada vez más exitosa,sin embargo un juego algo complicado,donde la precisión estratégica,gestión del espacio vital y del tiempo,ampliando horizontes y superando múltiples incertidumbres y obstáculos significativos,sigue haciendo parte de su crecimiento personal como uno de los baluartes indiscutibles de la lirica,empirica y politica promoción artistica internacional,aprendizaje que le coloca finalmente en uno u otro rol y en una u otra esfera del complejo entramado que constituye el mundo de célere y asentado prestigio del arte contemporáneo. http://worldwide-antoniopessoa.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/71d7fd79da8f13fccb9578536151d75e_479a5f66.writeback Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:15:02 -0600 "The Last Days of Paradise",oil on canvas,Antonio Pessoa 2002,as the title makes perfectly clear,unquestionably points out the artist's intuitive premonition of his astounding super productive Romantic Period's final countdown and inevitable mysterious and cinematic troubled ending. ATLANTIS,Antonio Pessoa's macro space art studio,stands today as thelegendary historical evidence,and symbol of the artist's most productive period up to now,during which an intensive and eclectic method of art action had thepower and ability to come up with one of the most gigantic and striking fine art collections of the twentieth century's last decade. This accentuated fact,furnished with an endless display of action movie,romantic comedy,even drama,plus erotic unspeakable episodes,mainly taking place in the dim-lit seductively designed and decorated ATLANTIS Studio,indeed gave birth to a wonderful,brilliant and encyclopedic art production,matching the great masters traditional modus operandi,conduct,lifestyle,maximized efficiency and outstanding creative commitment,where detailed academic research,highly elaborated projects of artistic performance,art action,passion and energy systematically aiming to create what indeed turned out to be and impossible made possible six years in a row super- human art production marathon. However,these accomplishments and success secrets,strange as it seems,still remain a public mystery despite all the reports and eventual speculation related to Pessoa's Romantic Period( 1997 - 2002 ) at the idyllic ATLANTIS art Home Studio. Despite the Romantic Period's ins and outs and ups and downs,the artist was well aware that on the whole he was living the time of his life,and getting a kick out of his daily intensive art making ritual and his bohemian city night life unspeakable adventures. Despite the fact that he was living and painting basically or even entirely apart from the worldwide art scene's ins,outs and abouts,another extensive variety of stimulation sources and resources were actually feeding his inspiration,motivation, and creative burning flame,arousing his organism to powerful art action in such a way which has made Pessoa's Romantic Period turn out to be an everyday mental process involving contemporary art versions of the twentieth century's reknown modern masters let alone new ideas and concepts the artist skillfully knew how to express on to his thousands of artworks,namely oils and acrylics on canvas,watercolors,mixed medias,drawings,sketches and even unique style interesting installations. Now the frequently asked question at stake concerns the connection between Pessoa's taking it global spontaneous footloose lifestyle and his unbreakably self-disciplined daily art-making implacability,serious approach,dependent upon solid values of artistic commitment and absolute devotion. This unsolved mystery,brain teaser riddle,mindbreaker puzzle,is still an on-going challenge even for me,for his closest friends,let alone all of them Antonio Pessoa's fans,clients,admirers,fellow artists and public in general. Far from being an over and out archived- investigation,Pessoa's Romantic Period What,Why,Where and How,still unavailable information summary,is a well alive issue and biographical thrilling process to such an extent that not even lyrical prose and appealing art reviews seem to succeed to cool it down and let it go,not at least for the time being. ATLANTIS,after all has been for the artist a once in a lifetime heavenly Paradise,fact and not merely an assumption,given the so many told and even untold signs available to invigorate this hypothesis,or more accurately a shared theory which is by now widely taken for granted. Thereby,purposefully procrastinating worldwide reputation and public recognition,Antonio Pessoa during his Romantic Period's six years of growing personal artistic realization and night life breathless explorations,strange and crazy as it seems and uniquely unambitious and ambiguously self sufficient as it was indeed,earns more than enough money to pay his three houses plus extravaganza bills and embrace fine arts enjoying the privilege of no interferences whatsoever,plus carrying on living a romantic-erotic-artistic lifestyle,lavishly staged,spectacular,Kafkanian...apparently without pondering whether it was worth the possibility of a bigger time spending investment in the complex boring process of a worldwide career situation and his art universal promotion. I can imagine how wonderful life was for the artist,when,as far as the world art scene was concerned,there was nothing to do therefore wonderful to wake up glad to know nothing had been left undone. Nevertheless,in the meantime,Antonio Pessoa without even being aware of it,is actually creating what a few years later was bound to become the heart and soul of his world reputation.The Romantic Period! ATLANTIS art studio was indeed Paradise! I suppose that's why it might have been a rather nostalgic moments time lost in the universe of recent memories and in the feedback of a present turning fast into past that Pessoa imagined and actually painted " The Last Days of Paradise ". Winds of changes were blowing across the Atlantic,just to put it in the best poetic way I know how,highlighted signs of emotional hurricanes and stormy chaos were showing up here and there and everywhere,sometimes disguised as a Celtic tale comedy-drama short episode,some other times indeed making way for a dressed to kill ruthless master of harsh reality. http://worldwide-antoniopessoa.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/dc5c9f289fbcec26fae2944a2bbf7375_47978161.writeback Wed, 23 Jan 2008 12:03:13 -0600 Oh,my God!He did it again!He walks again along the boulevard of contemporary art's cutting edge,bouncing with vigorous invention,far beyond the bounds of expected reasonable possibilities,now coming up with this astonishing autogenesis,charming and wonderfully absurd,screaming colors disturbing the standardized patterns of the on-going tendencies,resembling some sort of special effects sensational circus number,a striking explosion of raging artistic headlines,whatever,shockwaves of hiper chromatic flash,loud and sustained,shrill and piercing,animated gifts switching to moving thingies,or so it seems,downright overwhelming for any tolerant viewer's eyes,like mustard mix with reddish and a whole lot of stripes! Narrative powders,striking impressions all over this tempting flavors shocking shimmery festival! Should the present approach be viewed as a first step towards obtaining universal recognition or must this be interpreted as the historic golden keys to open the doors to the seven templates before divine madness? Antonio Pessoa's maddening prodigy of composition,promising artistic isotopic lunacy,colors entering the canvas like a visual adaptation on some Stanley Kubrick conceptual orgy,or a Steven Spielberg script digitized and reconstructed in a indelibly haunting endlessly fascinating gallery of adhesive transitions,gorgeous enigmatic sentences projecting a strong imperative impact where the required invisible final touch seems long gone to have turned into an intoxicating encore of purposefully passionate variations of wild art action super color magic velocity. Cognitive materials at every crossroad continue as if it has always been there without even the grinding artistic percussion,building up to break down,enter and exit in such a general contrasting visual effect only an artist like Pessoa could possibly come up with.Too much of too much,indeed!Lovely. Antonio Pessoa does it in such a unique way that as far as I am concerned,New Line seems to have no links with any contemporary art current references whatsoever.Daring and new the artist once again proves to be the unquestionable cutting edge of today's art scene. A free man and an independent eccentric art maker,ecclectic in his glamorous lifestyle and proud of his wealthy creativity,provides us systematically with artistic real-time news,as in New Line,more unusual than ever,the pretty boy of today's big time art collectors,invisible to the average citizen yet a growing public phenomenon,Pessoa claims a new area of emotion- oriented fine art,in which the resulting visual effects link him to the top conceptual creators of the new age by laying out the notion that the possibility to accomplish the impossible is merely the beginning of a long-term artistic strategic context and most importantly an artistic wide range communicative attitude. The overpricing of initial art dealers offerings this year,has developed a new somewhat unexpected information concerning Antonio Pessoa's latest oeuvre.His nineties Romantic Period artworks adjustment was therefore inevitable,creating the proper balance,moreover extraordinary results not only in the artist's finantial status but on the whole improving his collaborators team working machine,plus a significant enthusiasm in public relations,spreading fast,as an interchange of fluent dynamics,that degree of global evaluation that appear to occur,very often creating conflicts and contradictions between Antonio Pessoa and the art market coverage areas and promotion campaign that in reality means little or nothing for the artist,at least from his private assumption and his personal outlook of the global context related to the art scene general and sometimes obscure outs and abouts. The hyperconfident Antonio Pessoa astounds with his ability to express directly to the viewers his artistic science,just to turn his back to the tedious art market oscillations,as a good chance and excellent excuse to go back to his studio comfort,exploring the sectors of life he enjoys the most. Despite Pessoa's latest artistic preferences and even model references such as Eugene Brands,represented by Elisabeth den Bieman Dehass,Jacques Bage,Arnold Niessen and Anne Vignal,their artworks available at Galerie Blom,Niklas Anderberg,Robert Brandy,Mario Morunti,plus the amazing Gerard Hendriks,if I'm not mistaken represented by Gallery Chicory...the artist however seems to be moving towards a much more advanced research of what contemporary art can,should be and indeed is,accomplishing its most dominant exuberance and distinguished innovation in the spontaneous cutting edge ideas such as New Line. Antonio Pessoa's sustainable artistic maturity and trajectory,despite being now and then eventually favored at the expense of other artists,such as Chris Berens,Dorien Plaat,Richard Smeets,Joan Miró,Pollock,Harrie Gerritz and Klaas Gubbels,on the whole he is essentially far more original by embracing a awesome new way of art expression where the dominant theme and nature is unquestionably his colors unrestrained movements,perhaps frequently with excessive exuberance,although wisely mitigated by his outstanding drawing skills and composition unique possibilities,another dominant significance highlighting the progress of his imagination grandeur and inevitably seeking to enforce the general public concept of what contemporary expression should be as part of today's world actions and reactions. The evaluation and significance of hyperchromatic New Line,should after all be left to the personal judgement of the viewer,like an overpigmented fine art atlas,a subjective document where the eye and perception increase their depth of focus and interpretation. If the artist's intention was indeed to create art-abstract with suggestive keywords or hidden messages or even,shall we say,top classified information,theoretically that could stand for a tricky way of harmless playful perversion,meant to inhibit the viewer diagnosis and in so doing forcing a further challenge to the brain cells or a double focused approach on the look out for a suitable meaning possibly present somewhere across the different components of such a nutritious composition. This balanced weighing up of evidence and meaningful content might be as well Antonio Pessoa's need of hope to challenge the viewer attempt to collect some self-reflection using the painting as a mirror,like a wall art made to test the viewer's capacity to exercise introspection or otherwise,to transcend the philosophical limits and thereby start questioning the artist's intentions,secret profile. What one can feel and do before this intense color traffic jam is one of the interesting adventures any art lover can come across,standing still in a crowded art show opening night,or at the home-sweet-home privacy as any serious art collector should. My educated intuition and viewpoint whisper in my ear that very probably,knowing the artist as I actually do,that the law of attraction - even dismissed the ultimate need for scientific proof - might as well be playing an interesting role as far as this masterpiece titled New Line is concerned. So it might happen that indeed Antonio Pessoa's dominant thought during the making of New Line,was actually telling him that he attracts into his oeuvre reputation whatever he thinks about.This subliminal message might have been the hypnotic motivation I know he has,that the wholesome of his latest and upcoming oeuvre should and must attract the New Line of art collectors.What do you know! For so very often without sharpness of edge or point Antonio Pessoa art expression can be as direct and outspoken,some other times the artist takes the opposite option,not led by any circumstances changes,but as a delicious solution for a specific artistic strategy,delivered free,nevertheless keeping for himself a whole great stock of valuable explanations and most importantly a relevant amount of private classified information. And that's as much out in the open the artist's inner self configuration manual goes. The artistic impact hides the undiscovered master of art fiction,a dimension of privacy not even celebrity interviews nor steady gossip manage to guess let alone figure out what's behind the New Line! http://worldwide-antoniopessoa.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/8e93b38a1dfc4f6f60f786f9eac7652e_479627f6.writeback Tue, 22 Jan 2008 11:29:26 -0600 Original and unique,mystical and straightforward,charmingly shy and enthusiastic communicator,hard worker and contemplative procrastinator,Antonio Pessoa's nature lives up to a rich controversial personality which indeed has beed the heart and soul of his cinematic adventurous lifesyle.Fact. A " no two alike" myth,this artist,jazz-blues musician,art curator and positive-thinker,remains an up to date phenomenon after all these years of experiencing systematically the leading role of a nail-bitting motion picture which could be eventually titled "Antonio Pessoa the One and Only ". I'm positively sure,his aristocratic background and super-protected privileged childhood education,let alone his unquestionable genetic talent he possesses,have been the seeds for him to grow and become a premature prodigy,even featuring the performance characteristics of a dazzling skilled in any field sort of teenager. Therefore Antonio Pessoa throughout the years has been leading a kind of life we only see in the best and most exciting Hollywood productions,from ever since the time he was twelve years old up to now. Very probably,that's why all his art is so deliciously eclectic,exciting and new,that's definitely why his whole oeuvre is what it is.An awe-inspiring universe of wonder,genius,complexity and over the edge overwhelming content. Since the time,me,Jacob Kotsky,with the valuable assistance help from Luis Santiago,Nancy Igartiburu and Pierre Fontanals,started writing and publishing online all about an artist named Antonio Pessoa,back in 2005,we've been receiving hundreds of letters from people from all over Europe and United States,on a punctual weekly basis asking us an impressive great deal of extra information related with this mysterious artist.More than enough to provide us with substantial motivation to carry on with our reviews and general interest arousing biographical articles about Pessoa's life and work. Being all the four of us close friends of the artist,public relations and global collaborators,references and accurate reliable information sources hasn't been a problem for very obvious reasons,moreover I'm happy to report that this process on the whole has been and it is mostly truly stimulating,enjoyable and rewarding.Fact. All this takes place precisely when Pessoa,mind made up,decides to break up with his traditional figurative paintings to embrace exclusively contemporary fine art,surprising us all as he systematically comes up with a totally different line of work,Pierre Fontanals named New Era,in which Antonio Pessoa once again proves to be indeed a unquestionable gifted talented innovator,by so originally starting to produce a series of canvases and watercolors clearly reflecting a no way back personal commitment and response to the latest contemporary art tendencies,where not only a striking chromatic miscellaneous brilliance invades his canvases space,but also where his drawing skills astonishingly accomplish the cutting edge and beyond of today's art expression,all so intelligently combined,so unpretentiously aesthetically elegant and glamorous in such a manner of a highly inventive visual writing of a kind of emotional fiction that captures the viewer's sensations at first sight. One of the most frequently asked questions about the artist,still concerns his somewhat cloudy past,namely the late eighties and the super productive golden years of the nineties. Being Antonio Pessoa the paradigmatic straighforward sort of person,it's not always that easy and simple to make him talk about his past,let alone twenty years ago today. However,since I've met him, from the very first time back in the year 1997,I've been having plenty of time to,shall we say,solve the big puzzle,bit by bit,tip by tip,step by step. Therefore,as I became ritualized in Pessoa's hidden secrets,and the flipping schemes involving his outs and abouts of his past,private life,work and lifestyle,solving the riddle the best way I knew how,the complexity of the whole endless process actually turned out to be indeed a truly challenging and rewarding experience,a delicious hard brain teaser,solving the enigma wrapped in mystery,adventure,night life,studio performance,love affairs,glamor and the inevitable unexpected drastic changes. During the mid-late eighties,long before the first Gulf War,Antonio Pessoa is a night-life legend,a jazz-blues musician skillfully playing the grand-piano and singing,performing to perfection new versions of songs by The Beatles,Elton John,Simply Red,Prince,Paul McCartney,Billy Joel,The Doors,The Eagles,James Taylor,Police,Television,Roxy Music,David Bowie,and even Elvis,Sinatra,plus tunes by John Coltrane,Miles Davis and George Gershwin. Cherished by an excited nightly audience he often took the tonight programme a whole lot further on into the morning light by using his sketching and drawing skills overwhelming his celebrating fans club community by painting live,on stage,under the spotlight. According to many of his soul mates,show biz agents,all time friends and audience inocent bystanders years later we've been stumbling upon,here and there and everywhere,the magic of these daily live art shows animated entertainment,was one of Pessoa's most clamouring and most enjoyable periods ever,where fine art was a dancing all night away live play in which Antonio Pessoa besides having the leading role,was also indeed having the time of his life,let alone the inevitable great improvement concerning his artistic performance mastery and expertise. Being by then already a truly experienced live performance veteran,it's no big deal and no wonder the artist was definitely able to handle the situation with that effortless stunning ravishing easy-to-do know-how which made him step on the stage and thereby become the prototype unique symbol of live art action of our times. Even during the nineties,right at his career apotheosis,as he successfully turned and strode toward the top of the hill of his striking worldwide reknown Romantic Period,Pessoa now and then breaks through the boundaries of his art studio and goes back to the night life yet for another display of fine art action live performances,both in the sunny cosmopolitan glamorous mediterranean zone and in celtic inspired Vigo city Atlantic frantic weekends lively night life. Unpredictable as he is,it seems only the future will be able to actually show us whether or not Pessoa's live art action is over for good. The answer for this frequently asked question for the time being remains in the holy secret of the Gods,for in my humble opinion,anytime,anywhere,anyway,anyhow,definitely it wouldn't be the surprise of the century if the artist made up his mind to return to that lively dimension of his life where painting live eventually might bring him that kind of magic,that sort of rewarding inspiration,thrilling excitement and inner satisfaction,we all so desperately need from time to time,here and then,once in a while,in order to make us feel meaningfully alive to such an extent in which we come once again to that delicious point where life once again makes absolute perfect sense,people is beautiful and this planet a wonderful place to celebrate life and arts! http://worldwide-antoniopessoa.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/ec63c2c028d4577979f52a926f5a06a6_4794c499.writeback Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:13:13 -0600 Antonio Pessoa La Obra Maestrra Antonio Pessoa surge con un nuevo y interesante concepto de organización estructural,un programa en el que el objetivo general se basa más que todo en una composición funcional asociada a un procedimiento de naturaleza estratégica,acción y efectos.Un estudio avanzado cuyo objectivo principal se basa en el desarrollo y en un sistema de promoción y en una conducta inspirada en un trabajo de equipo bastante dinámico en que el cumplimiento de una misión artistica,comunicativa y universal parece ser una dirección interesante como para sacar adelante un exitoso plan efectivo en el mercado del arte contemporáneo. Vicente Fernandez Lago,administrador de la obra del artista,un ejemplar mecenas de nuestros tiempos,sigue siendo un clásico indiscutible,que apesar de sus multiples discursos,ensayos y conferencias,sigue cumpliendo con el alma de este proyecto,muy a menudo sacudiendo el mundo;sin embargo su confianza y esperanza de seguir contando con un artista de legítimos fines y decidida entrega como es el caso de Antonio Pessoa,le hacen mantener firme siguiendo cursando estudios sobre las últimas innovaciones y tendencias del arte contemporáneo y en especial del progreso tecnológico,estratégico y mediático,como para apoyar los primeros pasos que pueden hacer caminos,abrir vias,si se persiste en una acción por distintos frentes,en un tortuoso e intricado afán de ejercer una dinámica estratégia de inspiración universal...que no perturbe a Dios...y mucho menos al artista! Apurado,a caballo y a galope,entre las Mil y Una Noches y las mil y una cosas,mecenas Vicente Fernandez Lago,a pesar de su libre soltura personal responsable del pensamiento imaginativo sin olvidar sus atributos emprendedores,imaginar el dolor de la aventura trascendental y algo complicada del proyecto Antonio Pessoa,muy probablemente de alguna forme le hace inclinar y acoger con cierto escepticismo cada nuevo montaje de Antonio Pessoa,especialmente cuando se levanta el telón y el panorama que se presenta,aunque interesante y espectacular,más bien le puede parecer una versión beta de las visicitudes de Colón para montar la expedición del Descubrimiento de América. ¡Vaya,ni tanto ni tan poco! De hecho no es para tanto. De todas formas la buena noticia es que de hecho al fin y al cabo,Vicente Fernandez Lago,intimamente como minimo,celebra la grandeza que se avecina,mientras su espíritu se alegra ante la idea de lanzar al mercado del arte contemporáneo universal,a través de un programa de excelente producción artistica,inspiración politica y administración dinámica,la obra suigeneris del suigeneris artista. Un nuevo modelo de operación global llamado Obra Maestra,el cual se puede resumir en cinco palabras...sin ningún contratiempo en absoluto. Producción,organización,acción,revelación,consagra ción. Anunciar a los coleccionistas de arte contemporáneo la buena noticia es ahora mismo el alma y el cuerpo de un espíritu y de un espacio de trabajo de equipo que se va ganando sudandomientras el movimiento se demuestra andando. Los criterios éticos de la relación entre Vicente Fernandez Lago y Antonio Pessoa es como para salir cámara en mano y verlos a enfrentar las más variables oscilaciones de la intemperie. Una alegria grande,inconfundible,una cosa de cine,para todas las edades y para todo el público. Buenos y extraordinarios amigos en la vida surrealista,abstracta y en el aire del arte contemporáneo. Ahora mismo casi toda la gente parece haberse dado cuenta de la buena quínica que se ha producido,por eso el anuncio llega ya envuelto por el carisma al estilo de los conquistadores. ¡ La Imaginación lo es todo! http://worldwide-antoniopessoa.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/1ddc48ab91d3e36c86fde5c7bd910682_4791f55f.writeback Sat, 19 Jan 2008 07:04:31 -0600 Antonio Pessoa Art Metaphors Art Metaphors,collage and mixed media on canvas,Antonio Pessoa 2007,apart from its delicious visual impact,is a result of a systematic research across the art scene worldwide universe,with a great help from his two collaborators,Luis Santiago and Pierre Fontanals,two updated art experts and two excellent art critics as well. Since 2003,Pessoa by then already living in Barcelona,becomes more and more interested and consequently familiarized not only with the current on-going art events but also with the so called modern masters and very particularly with the contemporary top artists plus the most dynamic art galleries mainly in Europe and United States. From then on the artist gradually deletes the old influences,namely the overloaded figurative items of the past waya from his canvases and watercolors landing in the 2005 New Era field with a totally contemporary abstract new line. Despite the well know fact pure abstract fine art has always been punctually present throughout the nineties,onlu in the twenty first century comes the time when he at last broke up with the explicit human representations for good,becoming a symbol of advanced contemporary art status and identity by creating a new visual arts body of new idewas,an interesting and well expressed studio cooking where logical conjunctio has been skillfully overtaken by a strongly communicative art projection style. Antonio Pessoa's successful puzzling recent artworks leave no doubt of the exciting art language switch opening new windows overlooking bright colorful fields of spacious a light new possibilities of contemporary fine art. Wassily Kandinsky's abstract sensorial magnificence and invention richness has always been Antonio Pessoa's strongest reference and influence concerning linear abstract art lyricism ever. Paintings such as Improvisation 31 ( Sea Battle) from 1913,Black Spot,Yellow-Red-Blue,oil on canvas from 1925,shown at the Musée National D'Art Moderne,Centre Pompidou,Paris;Painting with White Border now belonging to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Founding Collection,among many others masterpieces by the russian painter,had a great impact on Pessoa's early abstract first experiences helping him realize that supreme art expression doesn't necessarily need to be represented by figurative human or specific object sources in order to establish a profound perspective on communication and meaning in the pursuit of the ability to reach the viewer's deep understanding of the artist's linguistic. Therefore it seems only natural that it doesn't take too long before Antonio Pessoa fully accepts and consequently adopts Wassily Kandinsky as the undeniable abstractionism pioneer of modern art and his most reliable model of non- objective compositions of the twentieth century's global art scene. Pessoa in his determined desire to convey emotional or expressive feelings and ideas without reliance upon or reference to reconizable objective forms already existing in reality,goes on throughout the years maintaining this unbreakable faithful connection with other abstract modern masters such as Richard Anuszkiewicz-one of the founders and foremost exponents of Op Art-Joan Miró's optical changes,motion configurations and high-intensive colors,the portuguese Paris-based Vieira da Silva,Peters Graham and at last but not the least,of course,Jackson Pollock. Although theoretically Antonio Pessoa's Romantic Period was over and out for good in the year 2002,during the next two years,2003- 2004,already settled in Barcelona,according to accurate facts the artist keeps on reporting the same aesthetic content both in his artworks on canvas and watercolors. Basically only in the year 2005 he definitely breaks up with the old traditional fine art standardized patterns,something now regarded as a perceptual last conclusion of his past studio performance and the stand by period of reflection,a calm lengthy intent consideration time where propagating beams and rays of a new wave of art vision began to surpass and out do the old art expression concepts,thereby making way for an amazing new line of progressive contemporary fine art excelling in colors,motion,visual impact and communication. Therefore,throughout this aesthetics concept switch process,Antonio Pessoa's favorites proceeds in a circle of pure abstract artists,both the great modern masters pioneers and the latest contemporary avant-garde. The meaningful whole according to Pessoa's new perspective of what art vision today must be leads him to a determinant continuous judgment and evaluation concerning a widescreen of the on- going variety of creative talents,living entity parallels within his now prototyping selection suggesting the future of contemporary fine art. Antonio Pessoa and his closest collaborators and assistants approach art galleries with growing curiosity learning on a daily basis with genuine transparency the outs and abouts of current abstract art patterns totally disconnecting from the old figurative symbols and entirely integrated within the colorful screen which embody the latest parameters of contemporary visual arts. One of these graphic significant examples is Galerie Beeldkracht represented artist Koos Smit colorful wilderness fine art excursions,a perfect inspiration for Pessoa's general perception of his artworks new line.Koos Smit comes up as an excellent source providing multiple ideas and possibilities,a well placed bookmark in his favorites directory. Also represented by Galerie Beeldkracht,Vania Pentcheva's dynamics and shapes in our environment oriented artworks,grabbed Antonio Pessoa's attention at first sight,raising his excitement level to the point of considering immediately Vania Pentcheva's artworks as a contemporary fine art first rate nominee and a good magic fuel for him and for all the nowadays worldwide art scene young talents.

Pessoa after dipping his toe in the colorful pool of contemporary abstract fine art actually adopted a pleasing way of making solid sure there is no way back. Antonio Pessoa's paradigmatic view of a new reality,much more than a purely theoretical level of a New Era of contemporary art expression,forces us to admit a prevailing new ideology of artistic and emotional answers,a meaningful consensual dialog between science and creativity.This means that he has developed a live vision of a new world of effortless communication through fine art,now beyond the limitations of figurative art by entering a totally empirical interpretation of reality through abstract constructivism splitting his fantasy between an impressive collection of references,preferences and multiple influences.

RELAX - After the conclusion of Night Gospel and Night Wits,Pessoa,far from being satisfied with his subconscious Mind explorer results,stubbornly keeps on trying to break through the solid interferences ring right in front of his Special Night subconscious Mind revelations Show Opera House. The first attempts to escape from the art scene nine to five pressures and Europe-America art dealers continuous demands by simply disconnect and enter once and for all in the Temple of Wisdom as he loves to call it,thereby to experience the first encounters with the Guardian Angels of the subconscious Twilight Zone...left him if not down to the ground disappointed at least,so it seems from very reliable sources,including his cook,house keeper and the all time faithful butler,still miles and miles and miles and miles away from the burning desired rewarding sensation of awakening fulfillment and total enlightenment,the artist has stipulated as his priority number one these days,meaning right now.

Before the urgent commitment turned into frustration,let alone desperation,the artist organizes multiple eclectic mental tricky programs aiming for a coming soon advanced contact with the depths of the inner-self where he is absolutely sure there is a mine of wisdom gold,knowledge and awareness diamonds.

As far as we are able to detect and thereby to report,Pessoa is well aware of the big challenge ahead,aware of the high level of interior power,Genesis comfort,well-being and top emotional intelligence activity he is indeed fully determined to accomplish once and for all,no matter what's at stake and how intensive and time-taking this self-improvement odyssey might turn out to be,for he certainly has by now the strong prognostic to foresee the coming up soon rewarding effects and consequently the glorious and fulfilling achievement of receiving the supreme gift of Mind's absolute control mastery. Based on Antonio Pessoa's latest phone reports,he is unquestionably convinced that absolute body relaxation focusing on the muscles is the first step to Mind's liberation.As the areas of tension that remain begin to surrender to the soothing waves of stress cleansing,Mind and body become a cool mood togetherness whole,slowly becoming more and more receptive to the subconscious enlightenment transmission,that powerful spiritual energy bringing awakening and supreme light,aiming for the so urgent and valuable Universal Awareness! However,despite all the basic essentials Antonio Pessoa has to go through in order to become a master manager of the Mind's mysteries research and absolute commander,the subconscious night show must go on everytime the sun falls down all around him and the night surrounds him in a blanket of starlight...The Temple of Wisdom must open its doors and windows so the artist may at least hear the enlightening whispers of the Knowledge Angels.Soon will be the day the artist is going to gloriously enter the community club for Higher Level Awareness.The place for spiritual counseling in the after midnight express the fine art wizard takes before he falls asleep. Golden stairs to the subconscious Mind magical castle,and the art studio veteran by now should be able to handle wisely the ultimate effort he has to put into climbing the one thousand and one steps to claim all the inner power which legitemately belongs to Him! Something like the "Pinball Wizard" song,performed by the english band The Who,however not quite so,fine art wizard Antonio Pessoa comes up with Intuition,acrylic on canvas,2007,expressing a perspective of what talent in real life is all about. When a lukewarm action leading role isn't definitely an option in the world we live in,whatsoever,particularly if one is facing overwhelming challenges plus a continuous and peculiar on-going urgent demands from art dealers and art collecters,moreover with no immediate alternative to,shall we say,reduce daily-weekly professional priorities...Intuition at its highest top level comes up as an absolutely required science.Fact. Always literally punctual and wisely convenient about his latest artworks as a systematic direct reaction method in which is extremely skillfully and witty published under art expression articles,a positive attitude and a very well situated response towards smiling happy or earthquake-prone circumstances plus unexpected heart trembling feedbacks,Pessoa's special sharp interpretation of the global time frame allows him to use contemporary art as a reliable reflector of his well focused observing opinion,emotional waves and general perception.That's what art nowadays is all about...or must I say...at least it should be. So,once again,everything seems to make perfect sense concerning the artist's truthful grown-up posture which is a breath of fresh air in today's overstocked propaganda-oriented racing emerging academic artists miscellaneous ways to cash off any local art scene,the best way they know how. Antonio Pessoa's personal success reports a substantial cool as cool can be sort of wholesome contemplative profile connected to the world by playing juggling balls with faqs and answers,playing by the rules but most importantly playing by Intuition. Personal News travel fast,therefore Pessoa is the first one to become aware that the most reliable source to come up with an accurate statistical measurement of his own Intuition amperage,is actually himself. So no wonder we are now able to have the visual and emotional privilege of here and now stand before a charming painting titled Intuition. Antonio Pessoa's 2007 artworks definitely show us a man,an artist going through an exciting and prodigious period of self-discovery,Mind research and emotional improvement. This instinctive knowing without the use of special resoning processes,still a rare gift possessed by only a few,is well explicit in this artwork on canvas,apart from its abstract quality the concept's fingerprints are all over the art space,a mirror reflecting and reporting this fascinating inner guidance tool,Pessoa and his higher self sharing with all of us his field of new found information beyond the bounds of space and time and consequently getting back to the heart of the public as he moves out of static coherence in order to increase the unfoldment of Intuition. Anyway,Intuition,the painting and all its meaningful symbolic abstract neo-surrealistic content is after all a part of Antonio Pessoa's current concept named FREE. This reference identified and directly related to the artist's contemporary art expression evolution,which is by itself the communicating mirror of great inner personal achievements,a unique experience profile conducting his qualities and skills towards such a magnificent supreme level of steadfast self- improvement,right now still too premature to predict the extent of this challenging mission and the outcome general effects of this daring remarkable emotional attitude plus odyssey. As for right now,that's the big thrill and the spicy mystery,for not even Pessoa is able to actually realize beforehand just how long it's going to take for him to accomplish a reasonable high degree of this fascinating dream,nor is he still able to foresee the depth level at stake let alone the probable wonderful possibilities,fulfilling and rewarding consequences of all this self-psychotherapy chemistry. The general perspective is obviously excellent and on the whole and most importantly,sure thing Antonio Pessoa's Intuition is bound to lead him safe and sound to the sunny place he profoundly feels and deeply believes he belongs to.Freedom! However...hold your horses,Ladies and Gentlemen,not quite so fast.Great goals take time to accomplish and overcoming life's adversities one by one takes a great deal of energy accompanied with a whole lot of patience and resistance. As the artist practises self-control he approximates more and more to this magical inward kingdom,and is less and less swayed by passion and grief,pleasure and pain, and lives a steadfast and virtuous life,manifesting manly strength and fortitude,in art performance,personal life,professional commitments and public communication. Freedom bound,Pessoa's determination keeps looking forward to the coming up soon Free at last happy ending. In the meantime,positive artistic suggestions such as Intuition,in art expression and real life timing,are always mostly welcome,both for the public's eyes delight and the artist's Conquest of his personal Glory. Just a short simple word.FREE! However what's at stake is a lengthwise dimension wonderful something,mysterious but bright,unpredictable but rock-steady. Just like Antonio Pessoa's fine art performances,art scene disappearances and Symphonic Orquestra soundtracked public comebacks. http://worldwide-antoniopessoa.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/dad9138095b7c5ff5d65854829b2c3b7_4756bd25.writeback Wed, 05 Dec 2007 09:00:53 -0600 After the conclusion of Night Gospel and Night Wits,Pessoa,far from being satisfied with his subconscious Mind explorer results,stubbornly keeps on trying to break through the solid interferences ring right in front of his Special Night subconscious Mind revelations Show Opera House.
