Antonio Pessoa Biography

Artist's Statement

Art gives me the stimulus that delegates power to me. Power of the divine love that allows me to overcome inertia and surrender my body and soul to the infinite task of making everyday a work of art, with imagination sparkling in every brush-stroke on the canvas. In this I find freedom in the form of transformation, and that everyday can transform white surfaces into art, fine expression, painting, communication. I love to live in the studio and there's where I always will be, preferably with my lungs full of oxygen, my heart full of peace and love, and my spirit full of art. Personally, I've always felt respect for tradition, although the vanguard has always put itself inside a necessary reference context. On the other hand, the classic has in my spiritual life as an artist always held it's unavoidable weight of importance. As consequence, as an Artist, I will always be sailing across an enormous ocean between continents. Antonio Pessoa
