António Pessoa - expo

Suites Alba Resort

Suites Alba Resort & Spa Praia da Albandeira apto. 1025 Carvoeiro ~~ Algarve ~~ Portugal www.suitesalbaresort.com tel . 00351 282 380 700 Exposição de pintura . António Pessoa Primavera e Verão Parece que afinal de contas o artista consegue fazer prevalecer a sua vontade,dando-se a conhecer um pouco mais no seu próprio país. Pois,vejamos se para a pintura tem demonstrado ter engenho e arte para dar e vender,faltava tirar a prova dos nove,se ainda assim António Pessoa conseguia convencer Vicente Fernández Lago,a decidir-se finalmente a divulgar de uma forma mais adequada,a sua obra em terras lusas. O Sr.Fernández Lago,apesar da fama que tem de ser um homem teimoso e muito fiel aos seus caprichos,no que se refere a António Pessoa felizmente sempre parece fazer uma pausa na sua obstinada natureza,concedendo ao artista,por respeito,por hábito e também às vezes até por distração,essa cedência por influência de uma simpatia moral e vamos lá vêr,até mesmo pragmática. E o resultado começa a estar à vista com três "long play"exposições simultâneas e outras que tantas já programadas para esta temporada de Primavera-Verão na bela Galiza. António Pessoa precocemente reformado,que é como quem diz,como se sabe,porém pelo menos na sua atitude e modelo de vida dá visiveis sinais de estar bem onde está, restringindo o seu circulo de amigos intimos ao minimo imprescindivel e desta forma preservando uma certa qualidade social,que não só o inspira e o enriquece espiritualmente,como o vai por assim dizer protegendo de más influências e de interferências negativas. Intrinsecamente desinteressado por questões mundanas como fama,dinheiro,compromissos sociais cerimoniosos e acima de tudo cada vez mais insensível ao ritmo estupefaciente das grandes urbes,Home Studio-Antonio Pessoa reveste- se cada vez mais de uma atmosfera de trabalho plástico,silêncio e pensamento,estudo,análise politica e social,invenção,lazer e contemplação. Esta exposição patente ao público todos os meses de Primavera e Verão adapata-se bastante ao critério estético e até climático de António Pessoa,artista bastante habituado à atmosfera da Dolce Vita do sul da Peninsula desde a sua adolescência,apesar de ter vivido seis anos entre Londres e Amsterdam. Ainda que Worlwide seja um projecto que lhe vai exigir ceder e abdicar do conforto semi- tropical no qual se encontra como um peixe dentro de água,para enfrentar-se à turbulência de cidades como Nova Iorque,Chicago,Los Angeles,Dallas e até mesmo em sua casa,Barcelona,facto que verdade seja dita para o artista consiste muito mais em sofrimento do que em prazer,António Pessoa faz o sacrificio e toma inteiramente a responsabilidade perante si mesmo e naturalmente perante os muitos colaboradores que dependem e vivem exclusivamente do e para o projecto. Obviamente ainda sem certezas concretas é contudo muito possivel que o pintor português venha durante estes meses de Primavera e Verão a marcar algumas vezes presença neste paraiso algarvio,obviamente dependendo também da sua voluminosa agenda. Tendo sido sempre a sua região favorita em Portugal,onde o artista já viveu e passou longas temporadas desde a sua adolescência,o Algarve continua a provocar-lhe essa sensação de bem- estar e êxtase o que muito provavelmente pode significar que de facto apareça por aí,quanto mais não seja para dar um ar da sua graça. Sém dúvida que vale a pena se a alma não é pequena,pegar na familia,meter-se no Popó e vir até cá aos belos Algarves,claro está no Carvoeiro, Suites Alba Resort & Spa,em jeito de férias e naturalmente com os sentidos apurados para visualizar uma das colecções hoje em dia,mais representativas das artes plásticas portuguesas.

Antonio Pessoa ' Lifestyle


Antonio Pessoa

Lifesyle

Antonio Pessoa - LifeStyle As we all know,life sometimes can be very stimulating and rewarding,although unexpected changes and unpredictable surprises may sometimes turn everything upside down in such a frantic manner that next thing you know one might as well start having the strange sensation of being living in another life. That actually happens quite often,despite our daily efforts to organize our routine and shape it into a life style model we've been dreaming of for quite a long time.fair enough. Nevertheless destiny or fate have a weird way to continuously show us we should be always ready to be born again in a new dimension of perception,emotions and philosophy. And that's what happened with Antonio Pessoa,a far too long display of adventures,relationships, art style changes,love affairs,a broken marriage,more last minute made up decisions leading too yet another frantic new adventures,falling down and stepping up again...and suddenly waking up in a new universe of wisdom,peace,emotional rescue and maturity responding to the circumstances in the appropriate manner of a wise artist,person and citizen,now acting more out of a learned intuition rather than the impulsive associations of a few years ago. Most important of all,amazing as it actually is,Pessoa somehow managed to keep his life style intact, maintaining his powerful strong beliefs in complete form and function,an entire integrity towards himself,art,friends,partners and life in general. Unquestionably we are indeed facing and witnessing a high quality inner motivation source,a sustaining inspiration definitely related to skills,talent,artistic performance,commitment and an absolute striking positive thinking and energy. In the contemporary fine art field it has been always genuinely spontaneous and heartfelt the way Antonio Pessoa managed to share and also promote his faith,heart and soul both with the worldwide public and with his fellow artists as well. This apparently basic overview of Pessoa's proven solid principles provides us with enough high ranking common-sense when it comes to accept once and for all this artist and art expert,as a unique and gifted excellent example of a true remarkable paradigmatic manifestation of a continuous urgency to turn daily routine into a supreme positive and productive lifestyle. I would say that maybe one of the secrets for Antonio Pessoa's lack of anxiety concerning his artistic career,lies on his general perspective of life,in his particular case a huge endless universe of possibilities,obviously in direct relation to his eclectic multifacetic skills,his high cultured,educated background,plus an outstanding hyperactive intuition and intelligence providing him with an impressive selection of options and several dimensions of identity ,life approach and striking performance. Antonio Pessoa's global cognitive and abstract relational functions allow him a continuous easy- going life leading just by sharp instinct and highly developed emotional intelligence. An IQ also playing a very important role in today's contemporary art scene as we all know by now. To assess Pessoa's relationship between art production-invention and his always glamourous,original lifestyle,we should be able and capable to actually examine a great deal of his stimulating and almost Hollywood-like biography,the most reliable form to bring enough discernment of the essential motivations of the artist and art expert,for,let's face it,indeed an artistic performance of Antonio Pessoa's caliber is definitely the blending of intelligent intuition and some hard work to go with,naturally. One of the great aspects of Pessoa's lifestyle is,from my personal perspective- a reliable view considering my already ten years as one of his closest collaborators and friends- actutually his tremendous capacity to disconnect from the pointless pursuit racing crowd and by choosing the withdrawal back to his unique spiritual universe,quickly recovering the vision of soul,matter and self,exploring new existences of thought,space and art expression,a gathering place for truth,creativity,self-improvement and usually the results of all this fascinating process come up as the art science necessarily starting with new propositions of true amazing contemporary communication,by dissecting and interpreting all the philosophical conclusions.Lovely! Antonio Pessoa as a contemporary art programming languages wizard,continuously researching areas related to pure fine art high performance,provides us simple,affordable and almost familiar contemporary art codes and references,the true colors of existence we all feel commited to and helplessly inclined to pleasantly absorb. No wonder Antonio Pessoa keeps on showing the world how wonderful is to create,make art to amuse,delight and give genuine enjoyment to his growing faithful public,followers,art lovers and art collectors.

Sala Panaderas - Antonio Pessoa


Sala Panaderas - Antonio Pessoa


http://www.galeria-arte.es/antonio-pessoa/2-30-2-30.htm

Sala Panaderas in La Coruña,northern Spain,seems to have adopted one of the most promising artists of the international art scene right now,Antonio Pessoa,showing some of his best series of the worlwide known Romantic Period.
A very wise choice unquestionably,considering the place and the time when this actually happens.
Together with some of the most interesting emerging artists from Galaecia,Pessoa returns to this wonderful region of Spain and in one of its largest cities,La Coruña.This could be the very beginning of a close and expanding partnership,between the artist and Sala Panaderas,in order to give worldwide voice to a culture and a region yet not so much known among europeans and the United States art lovers and art collectors.
Looking through the windows of Sala Panaderas front door,we immediately become aware of Pessoa's unmistakable style,the very remarkable stamp of his Romantic Period excellent productions.
On a short term this could turn out to be a brilliant and bombastic opportunity and possibility just to break on through to the other side,for them both Sala Panaderas and artist Antonio Pessoa.
Precisely just about now when Pessoa is getting ready to take off for the New York art adventure,it's good to find out that an important piece of his most amazing and striking working periods remains in the wise hands of an art gallery which seems to know its way around today's competitive segments of the global art market,despite the fact of Sala Panaderas local environment out and about on-going expanding art vision.
Specifically in a region of Europe far from being among the art merchandise leaders,Sala Panaderas swings about obviously with the connoisseur operating knowledge,intuition,wisdom and savoir-faire,managing artistic combinations,style schemes and recipes plus with the punctual layout of elegant and snappy informed conduct aiming and focusing on a relevant qualified performance of a label,product,artists and artworks,providing local art collectors with the comprehensive taste and flavour of quality. Focusing on essential techniques,so it seems,Sala Panaderas or galeria-arte,presents us with a stimulating improvement and Know-How,stepping further ahead and definitely not far from actually taking the leadership of northern Spain's art market monopoly stage.
Antonio Pessoa's career,unpredictable has it has always been,leaves us a whole lot of open field to imagine,dream and speculate,however when it comes a time when an artist reaches the point of public under falling burning acceptance and admiration,the synonyms of all these undeniable facts leaves us no much more ground to consider let alone doubt.
Pessoa's systematic working method in order to make this wonderful project available to the world is already conceiving interesting results to say the least.
Therefore,Sala Panaderas galeria-art,sure deserves our most excited and cheerful applause,definitely our infinite respect for the outstanding enthusiastic passion for your artists plus all upcoming new initiatives in order to expand what is already beginning to look like an impressive and great teaching of art gallery management.
As for Antonio Pessoa and Sala Panaderas we are truly lucky to have you both in the recognition club and surely in the spotlight of the international contemporary art scene!

Antonio Pessoa ' Winds of Changes


Antonio Pessoa . Winds of Changes


Through the winds of changes,artist,art curator Antonio Pessoa,searches for new solutions for his personal life and and inevitably for his career as well.
A great communicator,Pessoa might find himself at times rather distressed,experiencing doubts,a dangerous field of emotions and unsolved priorities coming and going in a sort of magnetic resonance.Overwhelmed by a ruthless hurricane of contradictory ambivalences which structure seldom turns out to be not as solid as it should,however striking hard enough to create a state of fragility involving lack of interest in the art scene and therefore involving an immediateurgency calling out a new resuscitation of perception and life style.
Obviously,this sort of emotional overflow happened so many times in Antonio Pessoa's adventurous life and artistic career involving personal and professional
relationships,somehow making him carving his destiny with the unpredictable manner of the ones who never surrender to mediocrity,no matter what's at stake and very often taking the most apparently unthinkable options.
Pessoa continues renewing his conclusions,leading him to new values,obviously the necessary Winds of Changes,brand-new updated solutions focusing their positive energy and wisdom on a more solid,self-sactisfyng and rewarding life style.
This isn't suppose to mean a switch of direction but more likely a fresh new take of perception,self-improvement and therefore happiness and character enhancement step by step method and program.
Antonio Pessoa,the artist,Pessoa,I would claim a new sort of art expert,keeps on living and systematically goes on rearranging his inner relations paradigms and beliefs accurately representing reality as a matter of discovery on a daily basis.
His personal and always unique life style and posture in the in the frantic world of today's art scene very probably on very short terms are going to be projected inevitably in his always surprising and tremendously innovative artworks.
Unquestionably it has been this unbreakable enthsiasm for the things in life as a whole which has been interesting the public,art lovers and art collectors,somehow turning Antonio Pessoa's life to become even more exciting and thrilling than his artwork.
Despite all the ups and downs,ins and outs,Pessoa has always been proving to be and to, ive at the highest level elegantly faithful to his living and emotional values,no matter what was at stake,let alone his artistic career.
Knowing Pessoa as I do know him I can easy and certainly bet that these blowing winds of changes are once again part of a yet another splendid metamorphosic process making way for a new outlook of life,emotional level,life style,perception,happiness and surely a new stage of contemporary fine art performance hopefully coming soon.

About the Artist


Antonio Pessoa
about the ArtistSubmiting a new concept to the world has always been a risky process, a labyrinth of options and alternative B plans, pertaining to unconventional choices between mutually exclusive possibilities. Once the petrification of the same old formulas becomes totally out of question, then there's no way back whatsoever and the two options left are either suicide or glory.And that's as romantic as I can afford to be when sharing and facing the artist's dilemma of to be real or not to be.

The Art magician one day wakes up just to find out and so honestly admit to himself that despite his multiple tricks somehow still manage to keep the audience in a suspense breathtaking nail-biting tension, fact is that suddenly his tricks don't mean anything to him anymore. And that sometimes can actually be the very beginning of a new period, if there's still the burning fire in the artist's heart and soul. Antonio Pessoa's New Era is the perfect example of a heart and soul, where dancing flames seem to flip-flop and fly through clouds and clouds of multicolored smoke and as when there is smoke there is fire, there is an artist who has just made up his mind determined to make sure the show must go on and this time now more eager than ever to step on the stage and turn the audience into an orgasmic crowd. Better said than done, some might claim, although while in so doing, very likely the artist is already at work and while some skepticals bystanders doubt it, very probably Antonio Pessoa's New Era might as well be by then taking off, flying and landing at the airport of recognition to receive the open arms welcome of the erudite ones who have the privilege of understanding an artistic phenomenon when they see one.

Standing before the idea of this new project of Antonio Pessoa, is just about enough to give us the breathtaking hope that indeed something unexpectedly new in the contemporary Art scene is about to happen.Fact is it already did. So let the child grow, make it asap Antonio, for all of us who have been following your career so far, we all believe it's going to turn out to be one more time into an action art performance wich certainly is going to keep us together more than ever focusing our attention span into your Art vision today.

Art lovers and Art collectors sure need something fresh and new to lean on and that's where Antonio Pessoa's New Era comes in, full of color and grace, gentle and sentimental, elegantly glamourous and powerfully avant-gardish wich now that we come to think of it verdict is that it turns out to be a formula far beyond the so called contemporary fashion average, straight towards the perfect combination of what progressive neo-futurism indeed should be. A true Art studio veteran coming back live and alive dressed up as a talented gifted absolute beginner, much more than a daring act of courage, is hereupon the herald shouting the arrival of the new century's mirror, the magical mirror wich only Art can provide, wich only Art can afford just by translating the contradictory elements of nature into the compact beauty wich only Art can accomplish. Art lovers and Art collectors, make room and make way, let us all allow Antonio Pessoa's New Era to become what it's meant to be.A brave new world of communication, intention, sensation, emotion, invention and expression.
