Antonio Pessoa
Imagination
Throughout his Contemporary Fine Art odyssey,and very particularly when it comes to what absolutely involves the "Free" heart and soul,Pessoa describes commitment as everything that goes with it,Imagination,playing for keeps,making Art,communicating through Art and going the distance. After Imagination,the two keys to living life full,Passion and Commitment.Heartfelt Passion for his dreams and artistic projects and Commitment to systematic research,aiming at new solutions,new action plans,new artistic,social and public performance. Using the power of his Art in the direction of truth,love and togetherness,Pessoa is well aware that his world is substantially the power to create.His world is the gift that comes directly from Imagination. Imagination changes our views and changes our mind.Changes Art and it can change the World! In Art,perspective first appeared in the Renaissance,as a system for making paintings look more like the real world,incorporating distance as well as size. Gradually the term broadened to refer our mental outlook over time,as well as our visual.Of course,our mental and our visual outlooks are connected through the act of perceptive Imagination. Art is also a metaphor for reality,and just like reality it isn't static,it moves and changes and none of us are able to see the whole thing at any one time. Antonio Pessoa uses his Imagination to connect Art with the outside world through sight,color,texture and meaning. But far from delivering us a universally consistent view of the same old concepts,his rich Contemporary Fine Art highly communicative expression is shaped by his Imagination. Imagination,personal and artistic sustainability,daring to transform ideas into artworks. The contemporary young master dances often with his lover and partner called Imagination.They wouldn't dream of performing their best without recounting the lessons they learn together. One has only to look upon his latest great works of art,beautiful performances in color,concept,aesthetics and visual literature. Imagination is a fascinating system of rules of conduct or methods of practice,synonymous with invention,artistic intuition and intention. Imagination jumps out and its presence challenges the artist to be true to his standards. Imagination lurks in the Studio shadows surrounding every crowning moment,Antonio Pessoa takes it by the hand and spin it around the Art Studio dance floor a couple of times then they become a dance team. Art Action time! Using Imagination consciously is Pessoa's secret to creating the Art of his dreams,the visual literature for his public.Communication. It has little to do with technique and everything to do with creative awareness. This cause and effect relationship is after all the heart and soul of the artist's Contemporary Fine Art new series general concept. The key factor for Antonio Pessoa's latest artistic significant changes,discoveries and progress was his ultimate decision to put himself in the right environment that could not distract him from the creative process he intended.Studio 1 ! Most of the time during the making of these charming artworks he sets aside a reasonable amount of hours in a row totally concentrated in this fascinating artistic challenge. Theoretically what he was seeking was a framework of the new ideals,visions and concepts that were important to him in order to come up with a New Line of aesthetic references and new solutions,his innermost aspirations focused on transcend the ongoing average art and provide the public with innovative formulas,ways and exciting possibilities of communication and dialog through contemporary visual expression. Antonio Pessoa - Contemporary Fine Art cooperative reality is a very real alternative in today's art scene for obvious reasons we all seem to be aware of by now.An artistic experience highlighted by the pure essence of Beaux-Arts coexisting in perfet and total harmony with the latest tendencies and beyond,a successful combination which visual effects dont't need much further complex evaluation nor tiresome theoretical for the birds nonsense. When the artist painted Imagination ( mixed media on watercolor paper ) he was already sure a new emotional scene was already at play every day and every night of his life,pushing ahead his most fascinating period in all areas,so far.Unquestionably eclectic. After all the most exciting was and is actually the process of creating this innovative art-communicating conceptual masterpiece and expressive powerful magnet,Pessoa's larger than life investment of all his multiple "Époques" art making years,ever. Much like a Domino effect,the general idea that has been set in motion by the boosting imagination of the artist,is by now reaching the mass majority of public,namely art collectors,art lovers and even emerging and reputable artists,who seem to fully understand and enjoy the concept's content of the broadcasting new generation of cutting edge suggestions and exciting projects,aiming at creating a totally innovative outlook of Contemporary Art and promoting its powerful communicative potential. Antonio Pessoa's essential secret is based upon his rock solid determination of not letting his Life and most importantly his Art,be the product of cultural conditioning. Thereby,the artist has admited he uses his Imagination to systematically find new ways to express amd share a new formula of communication,which will guide the public to greater levels of perception and understanding the powerful philosophical content of Art,and in so doing he is successfully creating the ultimate right chemistry between Contemporary Art and worldwide public. This wonderfully entertaining way to provide art lovers with a new and exciting outlook of Art,illustrates perfectly the artist's Contemporary Fine Art concept related issue,through which he uses his Imagination full potential to stay systematically on the hook for greater possibilities concerning Art and Public relationship and beyond. New Visual Arts egalitarian equivalence! It's perfectly accurate to state and admit once and for all the unquestionable fact that today's Art Public is expecting and most importantly deserving The Big Break,meaning a different vision possibility regarding this specific issue of how to interpret the hidden underlines of contemporary art expression and very particularly how to realize and solve the mysteries of the apparently complex context,content,intention and meaning of abstract Visual Arts when it comes to approach the latest cutting edge tendencies,whether through Video,Photography,Installation,Live Performance,or in Antonio Pessoa's unique and amazing universe,through a mostly successful fusion and skillful combination of sources,an exciting cross between the Great Masters techniques and reputable models and this only apparently simple project known as Contemporary Fine Art. The open minded public is obviously willing to embrace this interactive innovative attitude the artist came up with and is definitely looking forward to take it to even more stimulating and higher levels of communication,sharing,mutual participation and togetherness.When the student is ready,the teacher appears! That's when and where Antonio Pessoa's Imagination comes in,suggesting us new exciting challenges,excellent Art and most important of all with a heartfelt project aiming at turning Contemporary Art into a worldwide mass phenomenon. Antonio Pessoa - Contemporary Fine Art hit a nerve with the art lovers network. Obviously it's because public in general desperately want more direct relation with Art and I would say even the need goes much deeper.Maybe it was just about time to provide Contemporary Art with that exciting something,that missing stimulating formula now available to such an extent that the viewers more than just contemplate will feel they have to reach that ultimate point of intimacy to spontaneously feel the pleasurable urgency to want Art into their homes and hang it at eye level on the wall.More than a question of metaphysics,rather a spontaneous desire to have it,touch it and feel it. The artist's Imagination takes off from a systematic self-actualization,straight up to the highest levels new Contemporary Art can actually reach,which includes the multiple ways and daily steps to accomplish the ultimate challenge. Fulfill the Public's emotional demand through an effective exciting communicative process,where a new Vision of Arts potential is absolutely what's at stake. Simple as that,beautiful and new. After all the artist is well aware that Imagination is a Good Creative Source,a Must Quality.Imagination is like his generator within his creative engine,it stirs him like no other natural gift.Imagination drives him systematically to make movement and to add the creative fire necessary to activate amazing artistic,personal and communicative results in his and in the Public's favor.Art Action and Communication require a deep burning desire for change,it requires energy that is ablaze with Imagination. Cultivating and unshakable,Pessoa's Imagination does create a new attitude,a new character,an abundant supercharged communication sculpture,with the magical chisel in the hand of an artist guiding all his energy and his collaborators team motivation toward the new concept of Art and Public,art loving and definitely art collecting,a conscious decision for this specific and exciting outcome,a current successful successful process,the result of hundreds and thousands of options and accurate choices in order to make Contemporary Art come alive like never before. The artist's life is built mainly by how he wonderfully responds to what happens in his Imagination. Burning desire,enthusiasm,attraction,love and new concepts,cutting edge visions in all areas,public awareness,sharing,belief,abundance,masterpieces,gr eat Art and Life Supreme!

Antonio Pessoa
Free Speech
It's common knowledge that action expresses priorities.Antonio Pessoa has developed it to such a high level Fine Art degree that he really should get an honorary doctorate,believe me.Now you may be thinking that it would be terrific to have all the art lovers community calling him Genius.However the artist is far more concerned about living in the real world,achieve his personal dreams and most importantly have a fulfilling enjoyable life. What you focus on,expands.Fact. The artist recently found a wonderful definition of abundance,in Art and Life.Flow! Flow gives him such a magnificent movement to the feeling of creative abundance.Pessoa describes it like the flow of a river,there is so much abundance in the nature of Imagination,that at a certain point of his studio performance he begins to see himself as a part of that creative abundance.Creative flow! Studio time!There is an ease and a loss of time ( Timeless Time !) to what he is doing.Art!He then seems to loose track of time and he is so present that he actually experiences a breathtaking joy. Totally connected with Art,he is now surfing in the flow,again,like the river,he steps into it and allows the current to carry him as he creates,works and plays. The art action flow feels good and is fun! I speak about artistic abundance in this review all the time.Why?Because Antonio Pessoa's work is about showing others a pure reflection of himself through Contemporary Art expression,it's true larger than life communicative potential. On the whole,the rock-solid concepts that surround these beliefs,lifestyle,attitude and expression of the artist becomes inevitably his identity and consequently his reputation. The story teller,in great detail or in abstract art fashion,fuels his public identity of being significantly the paradigmatic contemporary communicator and automatically he keeps on finding new people,artists,art collectors,web designers,art critics and art lovers with whom to play it out. Like attracting like,set in motion in the ultimate positive and creative process,format and manners. The author of his own life and the master of the Art,magically motivated to serve the public,which is after all the soul of the artist's natural commitment to use the visual expression tools to share,express,educate,re- design,suggest and communicate a New Era of literate perception and herald the great possibility of a new fascinating world of mutual positive manifestation and interaction,Antonio Pessoa's Contemporary Fine Art Universe proves systematically to be a new potential of quality references in total relation to everything around us,and everything which directly concerns us,affect us and at last can actually change our thoughts and life,attracting the real possibility for a better World. Before and during the making of "Free",the artist already knew too well what was supposed to come up soon.That the future of his life,his Art and most importantly the future of his Art's power to spread,communicate and share,would be a short term product of the Thought which substantially inspired and gave birth to the charming contemporary Masterpiece titled "Free" This had to be a painting totally capable to attract positive energy in every possible direction,namely in his own perception and emotional wisdom and definitely in the public's understanding that a new and innovative inspiring concept and magnet was available and providing new answers,new solutions and a whole lot of surprises. This painting,a truly positive emotional state generator,more than living up to its title,is the artist's ultimate vision of happiness,sharing,fulfillmente and Freedom! Antonio Pessoa's main message,he successfully expresses through his latest contemporary series,much more than just Hope,is the assurance which allows us to actually believe we all can go beyond our boundaries and reach our wildest expectations and dreams through emotional abundance and the magical forces of imagination and creativity. The whole message seems to be clear enough by now,how it is possible to achieve the ultimate condition to actually be able to live fully the "Free" concept,experience abundance in all areas and to grow into Life Supreme,becoming an artist of life and be able to relate and respond to whatever shows up so we all be ready to enjoy the creativity in it and live our existence by expressing ourselves from our authentic beings. The artist's message magic simplified,meaning we all can do anything we like,we all can live the life we desire. A cutting edge new Vision,Pessoa systematically expresses and shares through Arts! After reading this article,we all should have a more thorough understanding as why Antonio Pessoa's Contemporary Fine Art series and all which they involve,have received positive reviews for the past three years.Blissfully reputable. However,strange as it seems,the fact is,the artist on the whole has no idea what professional success is,nor does he cares.It has no importance in his life and the fact that he doesn't give any particular attention or specific worry about fame levels , means that his Art remains pure,healthy,untouchable and most importantly,alive! Thereby the incredible power of "Free" manifesting a Free Speech of significant spiritual models,innovative emotional concepts,new Art and positive intentions,creates a continuous interesting paradox across the universe where creativity,productivity and communication perpetuate the cycle of his endless methods to transform perceptive synchronicities and intuitive opportunities into one of the most charming and stimulating combinations of today's contemporary art. At this point of his fantastic journey,it seems only natural that,if there is something the artist systematically makes his priority number one,is the implied desire to turn Contemporary Art expression into an easy digest worldwide exciting reality.This is after all his reputable process of direct communication through Visual Arts,while he goes on identifying people's general perspective as a prerequisite for providing them with the right attractive formula in order to make them experience the emotional power of visual literature as a most enjoyable,playful,effortless and exciting Must ritual. In short,Art doesn't have to be a boring issue,that's the general idea,on the contrary,Pessoa volunteers his way and style to make Visual Arts seem like fun and magic. This exciting vision of what Contemporary Art should,must and can actually be,after all,once again and once and for all makes the ultimate difference between the ongoing average and his unique communication notion,potential and motion. Antonio Pessoa's "Free" contemporary Masterpiece,actually gave birth to this and made way to this interesting related display of new artworks,an Art Collection "Free" oriented and inspired by the artist's Best Life,Know How To,Anything You Like Project.Easy,said and done. Free Speech was just another spontaneous artistic investment,part of this conceptual abundance and exciting commitment. So far,the huge painting titled "Free",is the paradigmatic canvas,which illustrates and leads into every possible direction,these magical forces inevitably programming his ways to Life Supreme,actually the greatest shortcut to Quality Living,the artist came up with so far. Changing his views,changing his Mind,changing his Art and inevitably changing his Life,is right now Pessoa's cutting edge experience,the ultimate challenge and definitely his most relevant Masterpiece ever!

Antonio Pessoa
Visions
Antonio Pessoa,more than ever,is well aware that there is a whole system out there running our Universe. He's been intensively working this over for over two years now,as a steady Mind researcher and inevitably his recent contemporary art series reflect faithfully with definity reciprocity this on and on and on Spritual Genesis process the artist is going through. One million stepping stones for his personal,artistic,social life and public journey. The artist's honest evaluation and reputable wisdom dictates that Freedom starts every each moment he takes a look at his life and knows a fullfilling life must be spiritually,personally and emotionally rich,and art action is the priority factor that brings him rewarding results on a daily basis.The one thing that brings him the greatest satisfaction. Visions of Freedom and Life Supreme,provide him with the boosting motivation to make growth a daily commitment.Beyond Antonio Pessoa's Visions excellence comes up not as an act but as a natural effortless habit. Now we all have no doubt he is succeeding in all areas he is commited to. Free! A creative Mind building Visions and make them what he wills.Every hours of his life consciously and unconsciously.An artist creating his own mentality,and in so doing powerfully suggesting and influencing his increasingly rich and exciting reality. By systematically establishing a close connection between the Individual Will and Universal Will,Visions of Life mighty power at his command,the artist experiences the ultimate Mastery of emotional Freedom. Fanciful Visions to Truth and simplicity following his own voice through the magical art performance odyssey as a cheering heavenly audience erupts in a deafening ovation. Let alone being totally focused on his exciting Contemporary Fine Art series,studio daily work,in the spiritual field,Antonio Pessoa in essence systematically develops a sunny bright Tunnel Vision providing him with a powerful ability to focus on what is crucial and relevant for his knowledge enhancement,one of the main reasons his level of life quality is becoming more and more in correlation to his amazing talent to make the most of completely re- programming his Mind and go on walking down the sunny boulevard of Life Supreme. This is an absolute Must thinking Magic,a Psycho Cybernetics exciting adventure,a Vision on the hook for absolute emotional and artistic Freedom. Yes,the artist is successfully performing some effects that suggest what Visions may turn out to be,depending on how you perform them.Remarkable! And fact is,the ongoing effects in his life are proving to b esubstantially good,strikingly magical and surprisingly perfect. The artist's Visions of greater and higher ways to get on acting on his wildest dreams,has long become his number one passion,the next level of Art,his secret tools to celebrate life,applying an exciting whole system of innovative formulas aiming at creating magical results to boosting hapiness and ultimate Freedom. Antonio Pessoa,always particularly talented at generating new ideas and coming up with new schemes to exercise his creative power and instincts,is becoming more and more involved in living his personal,artistic and public life by thriving on adventure,knowing beforehand that some of the best ideas actually come out of the blue and all he has to do is to keep and open mind to see their virtue. Can you actually imagine ever doing what makes you real happy,only ever working with what you are passionate about ? Well,this is the direction the artist's life is taking right now.Bring it on ! Perceptive Visions of one thousand and one ways to live and enjoy Life Supreme,make absolute Art, ( and perfect sense ! ) and reach the highest levels of Happiness,Wisdom,Awareness,Enlightnment,Fulfillmen t and everlasting Freedom. Antonio Pessoa's straightforward steps toward effective and magical Visualization are definitely inner guidance oriented and inspired,as a brave new world of outstanding possibilities come to him through pictures,words and feelings. No need to control or manipulate whatsoever.The artist's open mind allows the Visions to come as messages and possible dreams or even revelations that seem to answer even the wildest and most controversial and complex questions as the ultimate confirmation that emotional potential is after all the most powerful magnet that can indeed attract the wonders of conspiring Universe into real life. Visualizing through high level quality Visions,reaching Imagination's full potential,Pessoa paints his present and paints his future,as in Art performance,making absolutely sure all his dreams come true while the conspiring Universe gives him total permission to believe and beyond,take perceptive and accurate action and finally see them become a reality. Life Supreme Newsletter! If Contemporary Art is what stirs his passions,with an intense sunny gleam in his eyes and a powerful bounce in his steps,his Visions these days keep him deliciously tuning into the multiple wonders that are worth waking for in the mornings. It sounds like Magic,but it is really so simple,when he freely goes on finding Visions of Wisdom systematically floating into his mind as he delightfully fascinated watches what now happens in is life and in his Art,in such a way that even pleases the souls of the ones around him,his friends,fellow artists,web designers,managers,co-workers,collaborators,art critics,family and public. While Pessoa is re-designing his complete profile and outlook of life,his Art is unquestionably a faithful reflection of his emotional Freedom Generator.Himself! Most important of all the artist is growing more and more concerned about his necessity (even urgency!) of aligning his dreams to the Greater Good,including the desire to bring Contemporary Art a fresh new Vision through which he is successfully spreading around and widely communicating the vibrational concept of Universal togetherness.

Visions
Antonio Pessoa,more than ever,is well aware that there is a whole system out there running our Universe. He's been intensively working this over for over two years now,as a steady Mind researcher and inevitably his recent contemporary art series reflect faithfully with definity reciprocity this on and on and on Spritual Genesis process the artist is going through. One million stepping stones for his personal,artistic,social life and public journey. The artist's honest evaluation and reputable wisdom dictates that Freedom starts every each moment he takes a look at his life and knows a fullfilling life must be spiritually,personally and emotionally rich,and art action is the priority factor that brings him rewarding results on a daily basis.The one thing that brings him the greatest satisfaction. Visions of Freedom and Life Supreme,provide him with the boosting motivation to make growth a daily commitment.Beyond Antonio Pessoa's Visions excellence comes up not as an act but as a natural effortless habit. Now we all have no doubt he is succeeding in all areas he is commited to. Free! A creative Mind building Visions and make them what he wills.Every hours of his life consciously and unconsciously.An artist creating his own mentality,and in so doing powerfully suggesting and influencing his increasingly rich and exciting reality. By systematically establishing a close connection between the Individual Will and Universal Will,Visions of Life mighty power at his command,the artist experiences the ultimate Mastery of emotional Freedom. Fanciful Visions to Truth and simplicity following his own voice through the magical art performance odyssey as a cheering heavenly audience erupts in a deafening ovation. Let alone being totally focused on his exciting Contemporary Fine Art series,studio daily work,in the spiritual field,Antonio Pessoa in essence systematically develops a sunny bright Tunnel Vision providing him with a powerful ability to focus on what is crucial and relevant for his knowledge enhancement,one of the main reasons his level of life quality is becoming more and more in correlation to his amazing talent to make the most of completely re- programming his Mind and go on walking down the sunny boulevard of Life Supreme. This is an absolute Must thinking Magic,a Psycho Cybernetics exciting adventure,a Vision on the hook for absolute emotional and artistic Freedom. Yes,the artist is successfully performing some effects that suggest what Visions may turn out to be,depending on how you perform them.Remarkable! And fact is,the ongoing effects in his life are proving to b esubstantially good,strikingly magical and surprisingly perfect. The artist's Visions of greater and higher ways to get on acting on his wildest dreams,has long become his number one passion,the next level of Art,his secret tools to celebrate life,applying an exciting whole system of innovative formulas aiming at creating magical results to boosting hapiness and ultimate Freedom. Antonio Pessoa,always particularly talented at generating new ideas and coming up with new schemes to exercise his creative power and instincts,is becoming more and more involved in living his personal,artistic and public life by thriving on adventure,knowing beforehand that some of the best ideas actually come out of the blue and all he has to do is to keep and open mind to see their virtue. Can you actually imagine ever doing what makes you real happy,only ever working with what you are passionate about ? Well,this is the direction the artist's life is taking right now.Bring it on ! Perceptive Visions of one thousand and one ways to live and enjoy Life Supreme,make absolute Art, ( and perfect sense ! ) and reach the highest levels of Happiness,Wisdom,Awareness,Enlightnment,Fulfillmen t and everlasting Freedom. Antonio Pessoa's straightforward steps toward effective and magical Visualization are definitely inner guidance oriented and inspired,as a brave new world of outstanding possibilities come to him through pictures,words and feelings. No need to control or manipulate whatsoever.The artist's open mind allows the Visions to come as messages and possible dreams or even revelations that seem to answer even the wildest and most controversial and complex questions as the ultimate confirmation that emotional potential is after all the most powerful magnet that can indeed attract the wonders of conspiring Universe into real life. Visualizing through high level quality Visions,reaching Imagination's full potential,Pessoa paints his present and paints his future,as in Art performance,making absolutely sure all his dreams come true while the conspiring Universe gives him total permission to believe and beyond,take perceptive and accurate action and finally see them become a reality. Life Supreme Newsletter! If Contemporary Art is what stirs his passions,with an intense sunny gleam in his eyes and a powerful bounce in his steps,his Visions these days keep him deliciously tuning into the multiple wonders that are worth waking for in the mornings. It sounds like Magic,but it is really so simple,when he freely goes on finding Visions of Wisdom systematically floating into his mind as he delightfully fascinated watches what now happens in is life and in his Art,in such a way that even pleases the souls of the ones around him,his friends,fellow artists,web designers,managers,co-workers,collaborators,art critics,family and public. While Pessoa is re-designing his complete profile and outlook of life,his Art is unquestionably a faithful reflection of his emotional Freedom Generator.Himself! Most important of all the artist is growing more and more concerned about his necessity (even urgency!) of aligning his dreams to the Greater Good,including the desire to bring Contemporary Art a fresh new Vision through which he is successfully spreading around and widely communicating the vibrational concept of Universal togetherness. Every each day,proving to be a great believer and a full commited contributor to the expansion and liberation of the Whole,through facts,actions,through attitude,and inevitably through art expression,Antonio Pessoa believes and remains connected to how essential it is to infuse all of our actions and thoughts with positive energy.

Antonio Pessoa
Weekend Report
Once again,I fly from Canary Islands to spend the weekend with my favorite living artist and one of my best friends as well.Skip intro,for between the two of us,after all these years and after all these countless moments of mutual excellent conversation,shared bizarre episodes and a few unspeakable adventures,by all means no ceremonial rituals required whatsoever,simply put and absolutely true. He picks me up at the densely populated airport and the silent perfect-mannered chauffeur drives us back to his idyllic castle more popularly known as Antonio Pessoa-Home Studio. A new life in the sun,a new weekend in the relaxing and cosy atmosphere of the spacious living area all the more enchanting by the friendly staff,let alone the artist's awesome and most entertaining recent new line contemporary fine art canvases and watercolors.Wall Art at his unquestionable very,very best,if you ask me. After a dimlit mediterranean food dinner at the balcony overlooking the warm summer night,during which we pleasurably break news and get on with our lives latest episodes and metaphysics updates,we have a Scotch while strolling about Studio 1 as he shows me his on- going canvases,drawings and watercolors,a true dream factory,and sooner than I expected it was 2.a.m. and my obnoxious yawning was already warning me it was just about time to call it a night,so next thing I knew I was between sheets and thereby quickly going into night time oblivion.Delicious!Indeed,I actually have to admit I simply adore this recovering and rewarding total forgetfulness of the great oblivion of sleep.So does the artist,for all I know. I wake up early morning just to witness once again the dynamic full-swing stimulating on-going racing activity all over the place. The telephone keeps ringing,business partners,clients,art collectors,friends,family,art merchants,co- workrts,you name it,from all over the world. Pierre Fontanals and Luis Santiago seem to be successfully handling the situation,as in everything-under-control,with their usual experienced,stree-free and that easy-to-do look on their faces,savoir faire and know-how...while the artist is nowhere to be seen. Well,not quite so,actually.Antonio Pessoa is already painting in his sound proof Studio 1,basically relaxed,happy,however totally focused on the huge canvas before him. Antonio Pessoa always faithful to his traditional studio performance unique style,is working on several paintings at the same time,despite today's main artwork at stake happens to be a gigantic canvas on the skyscraper like easel,seemingly succeeding to be grabbing his full attention and his eagle eye concentration. I light my pipe and silently observe the artist at work for quite a long while,genuinely fascinated by his reputable art action speed,as if he were actually only the art making mediator between Divine Guidance and the canvas. I politely coughed lightly twice before I broke the silence."What's going to be the title of that masterpiece ,my friend?" "Free!" said the Pessoa without even bother to turn around."Free,my dear,just what I wish to be above anything else in the world.Free!" As a matter of fact ,I love to admit,Free,indeed turned out to be one of the most awesome and charming king-sized canvases of the artist's latest contemporary series and definitely one of my favorites ever. Laser focused and maximally productive,the artist all of a sudden takes a break and moves about the studio,gladly aware of my dear friendly presence,brush in his right hand staining here and there on the watercolor papers scattered all over the spacious studio. "I have this feeling,this don't know what something about this weekend",he tells me,thoughtfully contemplating- and I think - seriously evaluating one of those unfinished watercolors,with that peculiar self-criticism look on his diamond-white face. One of his cell phones rings.That's the Home Studio "Special One" cell phone as he ironically titled it.As far as I know it's actually the bad news breaker , the last-minute urgent issues cell phone.What do you know! He picks it up and I hear Pierre Fontanal's voice almost screaming from the other side,meaning,from the "Concepts into Action" headquarters,where everything usually looks as if the Universe is conspiring to make business matters an easy-going task and some other times it looks as if indeed all hell broke loose! That was Maxwell Armstrong from San Francisco,California,absolutely anxious and under pressure and demanding (...demanding!)...to speak directly over the phone with the artist. By now,Antonio Pessoa is painfully back to real-life again,takes a seat,thinks for a while...and I hear him say... "Pierre,please,just tell him I'm out of order" Silence again,while Pessoa listens to what Pierre has got to communicate... "OK,then tell him I won't be back untill next week." He hangs up. He's never going to change,I'm thinking,the artist definitely hates a life full of problems and the best way he knows to get rid of them all once and for all,or at least for a peaceful while,is the same old formula. Get back down to work and once again life is Heaven,just Paradise! With the happy ending of the canvas fast approaching,the artist quickly recovers from the interruption.Obviously the key to full and fair recovery is to get on with what he was doing and that's precisely what he does.Congratulations! There are always unplanned occurences that prevent him from painting just the way he simply adores.Peacefully! Getting caught up in the day to day activities of his team,isn't precisely his idea of indeed getting a kick out of art studio performance. Talking about the devil,the cell phone rings again ( ...at the right time...at the wrong place ...),as the artist gets ready to get back down to work.How convenient! My eavesdropping is supposed,more than basically tolerated,fully accepted,just for the record... "Not again!",he sighs. However,he picks up the phone while looking at me with that funny helplessness expression on his face. Pierre once again screaming from the busy room,just to tell him Maxwell Armstrong wishes to know whether the artist is once and for all decided to deal with him directly or not. "Tell him...well,Pierre,just tell him...Or Not" He hangs up the phone. I must say that in real-life philosophy this is theoretically a definite "Leave me Alone!". One of Antonio Pessoa's most peculiar secrets is that deep down inside- unquestionably - he sure loves this art studio daily ritual,delicious silence,this self-imposed exile...well,in a manner of speaking. What turns out to be his big What and Why,that's for us to know and for you to find out throughout all it's been said and written about the artist's Life and Oeuvre. Strange how this weekend seems to be shorter than I would like to expect,just in the exact proportion to my delight to stay by his side and enjoy the making of all this scattered collection of unfinished canvases,drawings,sketches and impactful watercolors. Whatching him build on the fine art dreams factory always creates me an exciting state of antecipation.Inevitable fact. However,the cell phone is persistent enough and there it is once again ringing and once again inevitably forcing the artist losing steam and probably reminding himself that indeed at last check Paradise will be only possible in a far away tropical exotic island between the Pacific Ocean...and Eternity! So it seems - from what I can make out of my legitimate eavesdropping - Maxwell Armstrong just comes up with a brand-new proposition,fair enough to put a broad smile on the artist's face and probably a helpless curiosity expression on mine. "It's alright then,Pierre,please let him know he can have those six canvases for that price...oh,and by the way,please tell him that next time he calls us four times in a row I won't negotiate..." We have lunch on the balcony,a nice mexican food combination,served hot...and how! One of the benefits of his lifestyle,by all means.Now we concentrate only on the tasty good smelling positive aspects of the mexican cuisine,while wandering about this and that...as a fresh,almost sweet wind breeze starts blowing from the seaside. Just two good friends and Art Connoisseurs making the most out of being together again. Harold MacArthur is in town,so the three of us decide to go for a rejuvenating long walk along the seaside Avenue,it's just a beautiful day,clean cloudless sky,Sprigtime just smells fun,the sea is light blue contrasting with the light-golden-blue sky and it's just wondeful to be here in this idyllic scenery of western world tropical life, as we easily overcome procrastination and stroll further and further away while pondering and review several topics,including the artist's current and upcoming projects. In spite of the inevitable fact that Pessoa is actually more than twenty years younger than we are,he proves systematically to have reached this mature-like unmutable consistency,this inspiring effortless reliability charisma,wherever he is and whatever he does,a remarkable combination of qualities playing an important role in our unique mixture of logical and philosophical reasoning inter-exchanging chemistry. Nothing like a six-kilometer boulevard stroll with such distinguished company,along the clear blue waters,crystaline sand and dazzling coral reefs,the ideal place to take full advantage of excellent conversation focused on interesting issues,including Art. Nevertheless,let's face it.Sir MacArthur current situation seems pretty obvious both for me and for the artist as well.His personal increasing interest in Antonio Pessoa's latest artworks,his definitely his main motivation to pay him a visit from time to time,well...more accurately at least once every month.Define this simply as art collector's persistence would be basically unfair,for I know that apart from his main reasons to fly from London on such a regular basis,roughly twelve times a year,his admiration for the artist is by all means clearly genuine to the point of true growing friendship.That much is transparently in the air. However,the high price of the artist's canvases,namely and very specifically his latest contemporary fine art series,New Era-New Line,if not being precisely beyond his financial reach (definitely not!!!) at least have achieved a global demand effect,feverish enough for a drastic rise in prices,eventually rather unexpectedly and as far as Harold MacArthur is concerned,from his strict point of view,fairly acceptable,on the other hand,painfully unfair. In spite of the inevitable everlasting situation of being systematically "blessed" with new exciting and painfully unexpected challenges,Sir MacArthur is never going to change his faithful sense of personal commitment concerning both his friendship with the artist and his private art collection growing reputation,continuously updated integrity. No big deal,whatsoever.Hard working art collector's self-consciousness.I like that...and so does the artist. Anyway,just as with the tides in the sea,there is an ebb and flow to the tides of Antonio Pessoa's Home Studio leisure weekends. Swimming in the art world,understanding its awesome Universe and eventually,of course,swimming through the sand of bizarre timing and close encounters with unannounced visitors. What all this reminds me of is how great is to have the world in our hands and time by our side. At last check I find myself wondering. Visitors...or Invaders? Miriam Di Rosa! A Lady in the Water!The water of the Art Ocean.Atlantis? It's tea time,in the contemporary Fine Art Shrine! Miriam sits down at the steaming good smelling table with her gentle jet-set complexity although grotesque proportions. She starts by complaining about the weather,then seriously complaining about her love affairs setbacks,then about the art market impractical foolish unpredictable roller coaster unreliable flux and flows,then she goes on complaining about the enough of non-sense world we live in,and at last she complains about all topics in a row,she says she's had it...and by then,surprise,surprise,believe me or not,crazy as it seems,forty five minutes had gone by and tea time was over. Miriam Di Rosa and the artist,they are actually so used to share whatever-you name it together,yet so aware of the intentions of one another,that they don't permit themselves anymore to become ruffled or victimized. Sir MacArthur looks mildly tolerantly patient and me,well,I fortunately have reached that level of after-walk,after-tea.who-cares,accomplished calmness. Tea time is over and Antonio Pessoa looks bored,slightly standoffish,I suppose a bit tired.Miriam somehow always succeeds to set this mood paradigm shifting in the artist emotional mechanism.He accepts her exactly how she is and she remains in his life playing the important role of art critic,art curator,although systematically,hopelessly expecting to keep the artist image strangely tuned in what he was six years ago...still illuminated by the pure oil smelling Romantic Period's Modern Art bulb. On the whole,Miriam Di Rosa regards Pessoa's contemporary series as a road-map to something which hasn't yet been achieved and I think she secretly believes it never will. I understand her feelings(let alone her old fashionad artistic concepts ) however,by all means I don't subscribe her point of view. Pessoa in my opinion is actually going through his fine art very,very best up to now,and that's the general public perspective,except for Miriam who still has this secret hopeless hope to re- convert the artist to the old models of Modern Art.Too late,if you ask me. Pessoa wastes no time climbing back aboard the now urgent loneliness of his studio,while the fictional Lady Miriam keeps me company as we sadly watch him go,leaving us behind...and he's gone. After a long silent while Miriam Di Rosa stands up and gets ready to go. I light my pipe as I hear her say "It's not all,isn't it?Antonio doesn't need my company nor my advice anymore.Enough Genius IQ,I suppose." I say nothing.I know exactly what's going on between the two of them,and I also know it's none of my business...well,at least while she is around. "If he's aiming for Genius IQ Perfection that's his problem." she goes on as she walks towards the door."But my previous experience tells me he was a much better artist,before.Anyway,the great Antonio Pessoa will never be successful if he sticks to this contemporary abstract non-sense.That much I can tell you.He's just trying to be a little innovative but definitely losing the Great Master's touch.It's a shame,really,it's a shame,but there's nothing much I can possibly do about this weird situation.Anyway,guys,take care,all of you.I'll be in touch...I think.Goodbye." She closes the door behind her.And she's gone! Under my circumstances I kept on smoking my pipe,while recognizing she couldn't have been more mistaken. If to much art studio action can be at times responsible for making the artist's mind dense,it's also true the his controversial relationship with Miriam - always on the verge of actually going down the drain ( which miraculously never seems to happen )- hasn't helped much to improve his mood after our tea time nail-bitting session. So after sunset,Jasper drives us to the Meditation Center,nº39.The ultimate shrine for total peace of mind,discernment and relaxation. The most valuable thing you can learn about Meditation multiple benefits is that it indeed shapes your character,provides you with a rewarding inner-self awareness and asures you this happy and healthy well-being,the great foundation that enables you to wake up every single day ready and steady to get up and literally go fot it,whatever that might happens to turn out to be,particularly concerning Antonio Pessoa's challenging life,a great powerful mindset and a solid self-centered unbreakable motivation,more than enough to overcome professional obstacles and general serious commitments. It's imperative by now to understand how these systematic meditation sessions and rituals have contributed immensely for the artist's amazing personal growth and his latest increasing artistic performance success. The power of balance,minimizing all external and internal clutter,recalibrating the artist and assess his direction regularly,implementing higher love principles,clearing out inconsistent behaviors that may eventually push him off track,discerning when it is appropriate to let go or move forward,making honoring his truth in art expression his top priority,honoring and encouraging his continual growth and learning,setting a clear and focused intent so he can share it and follow through to completion,and discovering how to strengthen his character and soul so they can't be bought nor manipulated. Antonio Pessoa has embraced these commandments at Bala Mani's Meditation Center,and since then,he has been teached and coached surrounded himself with Masters of the Mind he believes and trusts,and consequently adopting naturally and gradually a surprising new line attitude,actually the key element that has been a positive and successful step towards his current genius efficiency not only in art performance but in his personal,social and professional life,with remarkable results so far,providing him with the inevitable super easy going skills and know-how to get out and play to win. Pessoa's weelky sessions at the Meditation Center have been setting his mind to face and overcome all professional obstacles plus providing him with a remarkable Know-How and easy- to-doingness when it comes to make the most of his multiple projects,challenges and dreams,let alone his highly effective art performance. The Age of Aquarius has given us the great possibilities of Quantum Physics. There is an infinite universe of intelligent and highly creative energy where the artist pulls out the Quantum Ocean,enabling him to continuously accomplish with little time and effort,his personal lifestyle concept,artistic projects and professional commitments. As an art collector,art critic,art coach and counselor,supporting and reviewing Antonio Pessoa's Life and Work,has proven to be probably the most exciting experience of my seventy-two years of multiple interesting projects all over the world so far. Thereby,as a matter of fact it's rather rewarding just to witness how the artist has actually increased his artistic performance to such an extent of quality,visual impact providing art lovers with a substantial new contemporary literacy,furthermore making it possible for a huge amount of public realize the full potential of his Oeuvre and very particularly of his innovative capacity. Systematically exposing himself to exciting new ideas and perspectives,Antonio Pessoa,with a relevant help from his impressive mindset proceeds with the right attitude,progresses into the future on a full determined one million-steps- forward journey,with the energy,feel,style and proficient imagination,plus his absolute clear purpose serving him and all his collaborators in all important specific areas,possible and "impossible" ways. Back home,we spend the rest of the evening just the two of us,listening to soft music and relaxing at the balcony,emotionally at ease and enjoying the spendid warm night atmosphere and the ongoing cheerful crowd celebrating life down at the charming square. We have dinner,confidently sharing our viewpoints over so many interesting subjects and next thing we know,the square is empty,it's 1 a.m. and we call it a night. Saturday morning,I woke up before the house got really busy,so after having breakfast delivered by Arturo and his wife,consisting in a cross-between mediterranean food and english ham and eggs,I took a stroll along the seaside avenue,not too long a walk,just enough to stretch my legs and let the blood quicly flow into my grey cells as the bright sun rays provided me with enough energy for the rest of the day. When I got back to the artist's Home Studio it seemed as if all hell broke loose. James Babel was once again feeling pretty lousy over David Medina and his usual dread failures. Life basic essentials teach you different ways to look at life.In this specific area,mine and Antonio Pessoa's traditional detachment was indeed being used to our great advantage. As everybody seemed just about to start crawling up the walls,only Pierre Fontanals,the artist and myself,seemed to remain cool,calm and collaborating aiming at finding a snappy solution for what seemed to be the financial crash of the century. Twenty minutes later we all went out for lunch.An early,struggling and out loud speaking nerve-shattering lunch.Bad news is we had Pietro Fabricci to join the club...he and his humorless sense of humor. The artist and the sophisticated and versatile Pierre Fontanals might see him as a smarty-arty sort of clown,or should I say,multifaced juggler clown...never mind... The circus entertainer was after all James Babel and his out of breath manifestation of blame on the guilty one,David Medina for having sold nine valuable masterpieces for a substantial incorrectly measured price. Eating at random and struggling to get his message across,James Babel was losing his self- made man public relations strategy as Antonio Pessoa was getting seriously bored and so was I,just for the record and for all that matters. We left the restaurant in a quite remarkable polite hurry and made our way back home,fortunately quickly recovering from the embarassing sort of everything-you-need-to-know about how to throw a lousy lunch party. Pessoa once again looks slightly bored,moody blue. I suppose so many types of people around him quite often actually succeed to take his concentration away,or at least to a less effective level in which he inevitably can't help feeling awkward enough to continuously avoid situations that might turn out to interfere negatively with his deliciously silent philosophical universe. Very far from being some corny sort of ethereal spiritual mumbo-jumbo,Antonio Pessoa's lifestyle is definitely based upon a practical wisdom and vision of emotional abundance,aiming at making his art performance,private and social life,professional commitments,flourish,grow and expand. Thereby,no wonder his Studio 1's celestial peace is for the artist his ultimate heaven,favorite playground and his divine castle where all ghostly apparitions dissolve and melt away making way for spiritual lightness and proficient creativeness. The artist has become more and more conscious,concerned and aware that what he expects to happen in his art studio - specifically when it comes to excel in art expression is determined by the thoughts he dwells upon plus the intensity of the emotions behind those thoughts. Systematically using imagery to create innovative contemporary art patterns he knows how to give himself the freedom to reach for the stars of supreme awareness (inspiration!),one idea leads to another,and the momentum he generates with these mind tools,one thousand and one visions and beyond,will begin a magical fast shift in his creative power so is art performance becomes a passionate flow of emotions where he finds himself mastering the process of being the ultimate mediator between the reality circus and visual poetry.Art! The mystery about the current amazing chemistry between Antonio Pessoa and Boris Dainville is after all very clear,so it's no mystery al last check whatsoever. They are both emotionally concentrated on the power of all forms of Art,including human relations. They hop on the strong rules of spiritual energy,learning together how to prioritize the great Truth known to all mystics and ancient sages. What they mean to each other,more than sympathetic resonance,is an absolute like attracts like effortless harmony,sharing the same life approach in which basically the only possible option is to be and feel absolutely alive. So this Saturday,once again,they keep in touch over the phone,as the artist goes on working on several canvases and watercolors at the same time and I keep him company as I sit quietly reading,taking notes or simply watching him suggest awesome visual propositions with every painting brush stroke as time goes slowly and pleasurably by in Studio 1 and as the sun beams keep coming in anticipating yet another delicious warm subtropical night. Once again we're having dinner at the comfy balcony.Antonio Pessoa looks relaxed now,however thoughtful,sharing the silence with me,plenty aware that I,more than anyone else in the world,can make out the essence of his pondering,even in the silence,or when we talk exchanging ideas,projects,secrets,concepts,dreams,you name it,I'm able to read the underlines,able to accurately interpret the inner-areas of the artist's intimate reflections and thereby succeed to come up with a rather clear picture of his current perspective of the whole field of life,world,art...and beyond. He is a complex,informed,wise distinguished man.He has embraced the whole creative process,art studio,lifestyle and beyond.This is the big one,and this is the main reason why I've been reviewing his Life and Work for the past ten years up to now. Some of Antonio Pessoa's top qualities are definitely his increasing capacity to keep his mind on task,it actually gets easier and easier for the artist to become fully focused on what's more important,beginning with his art studio daily action,indeed a creative ritual which has become a pleasurable and inevitable part of his life.Also using his subconscious to accept that what he desires is possible to achieve,even his wildest dreams,keeps him steady on the right track and mastering the art of being ready when the magic happens,like something he will most certainly will enjoy,even when it comes in the most unexpected ways.Pessoa handles this emotion- charged feelings aiming at expand his multiple issues and areas,an ever growing display of fascinating projects,leading him to reach higher levels of living the ultimate Life Supreme! After dinner we move back to the studio,where Scotch is served in cognac snifters by the silent- polite Arturo.He leaves us alone as the phone rings announcing an incoming call fromm Felix Nuñez. Felix Nuñez is taking care of the artist's affairs in San Francisco,CA, and he has been doing it for over two years already,now.From the five minutes conversation I can figure out Nuñez has successfully added three more reputable art collectors to the artist's U.S.A. crème de la crème clients list.Fair enough.Pessoa hangs up the phone with a broad smile of satisfaction on his face. "This young man is just about to hit the big time,Jacob,and so are we"he says. "You are,not me" I say "I'm just an innocent bystander.But I like it!Are you hearing me complaining?" We're laughing out loud,now...making a toast to good health. The Art World! Bigger names have come and gone,but few careers in contemporary fine art have been more consistently interesting over the last ten years than Antonio Pessoa's.Painstakingly careful and accurate the artist goes on this Saturday after midnight exhaustively staining here and there,living up to his art studio wizard reputation. His latest paintings are just amazing,passionate and so chromatically beautiful and at the same time deliciously absurd in their successful attemp to reproduce the artist's serious sensory experiences. Saturday's featured artist,takes the midnight express absolutely motivated and comfy in the spacious comfort of Studio 1.Into art action now completely,his burning fire seems to go higher and higher,and once again I feel helplessly inspired as I watch him dancing about the awesome scenario,mainly furnished by huge easels,gigantic and medium size canvases,oak tables covered with an apparent chaotic display of finished and unfinished watercolors,drawings,collages,mixed medias and small sketches here and there and everywhere. There's a beautiful abstract acrylic on watercolor paper on a chair I hadn't noticed the day before.I ask him where did it come from.The artist tells me he started doing it yesterday,and that's where he was actually writing this wonderful weekend poetry.What poetry,I just asked,not because I didn't know what he was talking about,I did,but just to get my private kick,well,mainly to make conversation. "Momentum takes over " he says "It's easy enough to dream and plan big projects,but when it comes to see a particular weekend measurable progress,nothing like a watercolor to draw the whole map.It's like an episode.That's what it's meant to be.The Weekend Report!" So that was it,I thought.Antonio Pessoa's intention generator was on once again,with the rushed busy flow of his eclectic style,the artist's ever present amazing capacity to see artistic challenges as supreme opportunities working toward innovative ideas,as he goes on and on staining here and there filled with passion,creative fire and almost childish excitement. Suddenly he stops and looks at me as taken by surprise,slightly puzzled and definitely amused. "I don't know why I bother to go on painting,it's almost 2 a.m.,you must be tired and I'm keeping you here,Jacob.We should be going to bed and call it a night." "Let your inner light shine,my friend,go on with what you were doing and please do not worry about me.I'm quite alright and very entertained if you ask me." The artist shrugged and said. "Just a few minutes more and then we'll have another scotch on the balcony." I watch him as he gets back down to work. Antonio Pessoa's amazing power of persistence,I thought,that's the real secret for his artistic success.It's always been as far as I can recall.And it was indeed 2 a.m. by then. As soon as I discovered it was already 11:30 a.m.,I jumped out of bed,simultaneously recasting my priorities,such as a good cold shower and a late breakfast delivered by a silent Jasper at the spacious kitchen,all part of a process of treating me like a special honor guest. After taking a look a the ongoing situation in the artist's Home Studio as I watched my energy level raise up by witnessing the energetically vibrating excitement of everyone's pleasurable working flux and flow,every step I take toward Antonio Pessoa's contemporary Fine Art shrine,Studio 1,the clearer it became that he had company this morning.As I got closer to the door,I knew the artist was facing a new challenge today.Listening patiently to Boris Dainville's latest episodes. I let myself in and after taking a sit and picking up my notepad,I had to face the fact that Boris Dainville had just been through yet another love affair setback with a strange woman from Dublin who at last check proved to be a tough pill to swallow for the millionaire and enthusiastic art collector's delicate emotional attachment,another overwhelming failure to join his rich content love affairs diary. Now that I come to think of it I have to admit The Beatles were right when they came up with "Can't buy me Love" song. No matter the stage of art performance Antonio Pessoa finds himself in,he can't help run through a whole fully concentrated working day,without being almost systematically interrupted by unexpected visitors out of his endless list of unique soul mates. Although this list seems to be the list of an artist with a pretty wide and diverse social life,unquestionable fact,the pros and cons of this circumstance after all very often provides him with a rather awkward momentum,sometimes in the form of a focus saboteur,when art action remains stuck,eventually totally inactive,while these overwhelming unexpected last minute visitors,may prove to be long lasting gossip overloaded whimperish meetings,classified information sessions,where his best and closest friends,as bizarre as it may sound,come to his Studio and to his arms seeking wise advice on multiple emotional subjects,soul mates who at a certain point of their lives seem to know little or nothing about how to handle a specific situation,particularly concerning matters of the flesh,of course. Although I know and have to admit that running away from this almost daily inevitable scenario may be Pessoa's first instinct,somehow he ethically finds it more beneficial to meet it head-on,taking a different approach to every different situation.A valuable exercise! The artist's good listener magic is thereby created from being a giving person who gives to giving people,such as Boris Dainville. The day goes by as the three of us continue the communicating process,through lunch,another art session time,tea time,a sunset walk along the boulevard and by dinner time we were basically emotionally exhausted,literally almost passing out on the dining room floor,a simple way to put down in words how Boris Dainville's love affairs setbacks can turn out to become a totally thumbs down negative feelings network. Anyway,just before midnight the lover boy goes away for good after seven seasons with the saints,leaving us alone in a sea of sighs in the ultimate effort to pull ourselves together,having the last one for the road double Scotch on the rocks at the exotic balcony overlooking the stunning bay.Some Sunday! I woke up monday morning to join the temper- based complaints of Miriam Di Rosa at the steaming breakfast fancy round table. Contrary to what she seems decided to believe,the artist is not bound for getting easily trapped on her nightmarish reality,nor is he willing to be mistakenly dropped off on her outmoded planet. "Why isn't your Art the way it should be?Just the way it used to be?" She complains as Antonio Pessoa copes as best as possible with her sadness,with his traditional well-being,tolerance and joy- even detachment- as a pure realization that after all her opinion matters,in spite of her stubborn unwillingness to take the ultimate step and expand her vision into the larger and far more innovative world of contemporary art. This hard to deal conversation goes on for about one hour,while Miriam's unsuccessful attempts to overcome her hidden desperation became more and more obvious till the moment the artist and I get up and leave the kitchen,however no fast enough to miss her last disappointed remark. "If you don't change your artistic style I don't know what I will do!" That's the high price for artistic freedom. I watch his amazing latest artworks as we once again enter Studio 1.This room has become his holy retreat,his world,his destiny. There was only one particular mixed media on watercolor paper which had been puzzling me throughout the whole weekend. "One last thing...why don't you have it finished yet?"I asked the artist. "Well...I suppose I'll do it tonight,my friend...this one is a special combination of our latest interesting events...including yourself"He smiled.A naughty smile. "What do you actually have in mind?" I asked as I came closer to the unfinished artwork. "Because this one is The Weekend Report". Jasper took me to the airport after lunch.While we zipped along the highway,suddenly I got the whole picture. After all that has been his secret all the way during these days. The ultimate relationship between real life and artistic interpretation. The Weekend Report !
Weekend Report
Once again,I fly from Canary Islands to spend the weekend with my favorite living artist and one of my best friends as well.Skip intro,for between the two of us,after all these years and after all these countless moments of mutual excellent conversation,shared bizarre episodes and a few unspeakable adventures,by all means no ceremonial rituals required whatsoever,simply put and absolutely true. He picks me up at the densely populated airport and the silent perfect-mannered chauffeur drives us back to his idyllic castle more popularly known as Antonio Pessoa-Home Studio. A new life in the sun,a new weekend in the relaxing and cosy atmosphere of the spacious living area all the more enchanting by the friendly staff,let alone the artist's awesome and most entertaining recent new line contemporary fine art canvases and watercolors.Wall Art at his unquestionable very,very best,if you ask me. After a dimlit mediterranean food dinner at the balcony overlooking the warm summer night,during which we pleasurably break news and get on with our lives latest episodes and metaphysics updates,we have a Scotch while strolling about Studio 1 as he shows me his on- going canvases,drawings and watercolors,a true dream factory,and sooner than I expected it was 2.a.m. and my obnoxious yawning was already warning me it was just about time to call it a night,so next thing I knew I was between sheets and thereby quickly going into night time oblivion.Delicious!Indeed,I actually have to admit I simply adore this recovering and rewarding total forgetfulness of the great oblivion of sleep.So does the artist,for all I know. I wake up early morning just to witness once again the dynamic full-swing stimulating on-going racing activity all over the place. The telephone keeps ringing,business partners,clients,art collectors,friends,family,art merchants,co- workrts,you name it,from all over the world. Pierre Fontanals and Luis Santiago seem to be successfully handling the situation,as in everything-under-control,with their usual experienced,stree-free and that easy-to-do look on their faces,savoir faire and know-how...while the artist is nowhere to be seen. Well,not quite so,actually.Antonio Pessoa is already painting in his sound proof Studio 1,basically relaxed,happy,however totally focused on the huge canvas before him. Antonio Pessoa always faithful to his traditional studio performance unique style,is working on several paintings at the same time,despite today's main artwork at stake happens to be a gigantic canvas on the skyscraper like easel,seemingly succeeding to be grabbing his full attention and his eagle eye concentration. I light my pipe and silently observe the artist at work for quite a long while,genuinely fascinated by his reputable art action speed,as if he were actually only the art making mediator between Divine Guidance and the canvas. I politely coughed lightly twice before I broke the silence."What's going to be the title of that masterpiece ,my friend?" "Free!" said the Pessoa without even bother to turn around."Free,my dear,just what I wish to be above anything else in the world.Free!" As a matter of fact ,I love to admit,Free,indeed turned out to be one of the most awesome and charming king-sized canvases of the artist's latest contemporary series and definitely one of my favorites ever. Laser focused and maximally productive,the artist all of a sudden takes a break and moves about the studio,gladly aware of my dear friendly presence,brush in his right hand staining here and there on the watercolor papers scattered all over the spacious studio. "I have this feeling,this don't know what something about this weekend",he tells me,thoughtfully contemplating- and I think - seriously evaluating one of those unfinished watercolors,with that peculiar self-criticism look on his diamond-white face. One of his cell phones rings.That's the Home Studio "Special One" cell phone as he ironically titled it.As far as I know it's actually the bad news breaker , the last-minute urgent issues cell phone.What do you know! He picks it up and I hear Pierre Fontanal's voice almost screaming from the other side,meaning,from the "Concepts into Action" headquarters,where everything usually looks as if the Universe is conspiring to make business matters an easy-going task and some other times it looks as if indeed all hell broke loose! That was Maxwell Armstrong from San Francisco,California,absolutely anxious and under pressure and demanding (...demanding!)...to speak directly over the phone with the artist. By now,Antonio Pessoa is painfully back to real-life again,takes a seat,thinks for a while...and I hear him say... "Pierre,please,just tell him I'm out of order" Silence again,while Pessoa listens to what Pierre has got to communicate... "OK,then tell him I won't be back untill next week." He hangs up. He's never going to change,I'm thinking,the artist definitely hates a life full of problems and the best way he knows to get rid of them all once and for all,or at least for a peaceful while,is the same old formula. Get back down to work and once again life is Heaven,just Paradise! With the happy ending of the canvas fast approaching,the artist quickly recovers from the interruption.Obviously the key to full and fair recovery is to get on with what he was doing and that's precisely what he does.Congratulations! There are always unplanned occurences that prevent him from painting just the way he simply adores.Peacefully! Getting caught up in the day to day activities of his team,isn't precisely his idea of indeed getting a kick out of art studio performance. Talking about the devil,the cell phone rings again ( ...at the right time...at the wrong place ...),as the artist gets ready to get back down to work.How convenient! My eavesdropping is supposed,more than basically tolerated,fully accepted,just for the record... "Not again!",he sighs. However,he picks up the phone while looking at me with that funny helplessness expression on his face. Pierre once again screaming from the busy room,just to tell him Maxwell Armstrong wishes to know whether the artist is once and for all decided to deal with him directly or not. "Tell him...well,Pierre,just tell him...Or Not" He hangs up the phone. I must say that in real-life philosophy this is theoretically a definite "Leave me Alone!". One of Antonio Pessoa's most peculiar secrets is that deep down inside- unquestionably - he sure loves this art studio daily ritual,delicious silence,this self-imposed exile...well,in a manner of speaking. What turns out to be his big What and Why,that's for us to know and for you to find out throughout all it's been said and written about the artist's Life and Oeuvre. Strange how this weekend seems to be shorter than I would like to expect,just in the exact proportion to my delight to stay by his side and enjoy the making of all this scattered collection of unfinished canvases,drawings,sketches and impactful watercolors. Whatching him build on the fine art dreams factory always creates me an exciting state of antecipation.Inevitable fact. However,the cell phone is persistent enough and there it is once again ringing and once again inevitably forcing the artist losing steam and probably reminding himself that indeed at last check Paradise will be only possible in a far away tropical exotic island between the Pacific Ocean...and Eternity! So it seems - from what I can make out of my legitimate eavesdropping - Maxwell Armstrong just comes up with a brand-new proposition,fair enough to put a broad smile on the artist's face and probably a helpless curiosity expression on mine. "It's alright then,Pierre,please let him know he can have those six canvases for that price...oh,and by the way,please tell him that next time he calls us four times in a row I won't negotiate..." We have lunch on the balcony,a nice mexican food combination,served hot...and how! One of the benefits of his lifestyle,by all means.Now we concentrate only on the tasty good smelling positive aspects of the mexican cuisine,while wandering about this and that...as a fresh,almost sweet wind breeze starts blowing from the seaside. Just two good friends and Art Connoisseurs making the most out of being together again. Harold MacArthur is in town,so the three of us decide to go for a rejuvenating long walk along the seaside Avenue,it's just a beautiful day,clean cloudless sky,Sprigtime just smells fun,the sea is light blue contrasting with the light-golden-blue sky and it's just wondeful to be here in this idyllic scenery of western world tropical life, as we easily overcome procrastination and stroll further and further away while pondering and review several topics,including the artist's current and upcoming projects. In spite of the inevitable fact that Pessoa is actually more than twenty years younger than we are,he proves systematically to have reached this mature-like unmutable consistency,this inspiring effortless reliability charisma,wherever he is and whatever he does,a remarkable combination of qualities playing an important role in our unique mixture of logical and philosophical reasoning inter-exchanging chemistry. Nothing like a six-kilometer boulevard stroll with such distinguished company,along the clear blue waters,crystaline sand and dazzling coral reefs,the ideal place to take full advantage of excellent conversation focused on interesting issues,including Art. Nevertheless,let's face it.Sir MacArthur current situation seems pretty obvious both for me and for the artist as well.His personal increasing interest in Antonio Pessoa's latest artworks,his definitely his main motivation to pay him a visit from time to time,well...more accurately at least once every month.Define this simply as art collector's persistence would be basically unfair,for I know that apart from his main reasons to fly from London on such a regular basis,roughly twelve times a year,his admiration for the artist is by all means clearly genuine to the point of true growing friendship.That much is transparently in the air. However,the high price of the artist's canvases,namely and very specifically his latest contemporary fine art series,New Era-New Line,if not being precisely beyond his financial reach (definitely not!!!) at least have achieved a global demand effect,feverish enough for a drastic rise in prices,eventually rather unexpectedly and as far as Harold MacArthur is concerned,from his strict point of view,fairly acceptable,on the other hand,painfully unfair. In spite of the inevitable everlasting situation of being systematically "blessed" with new exciting and painfully unexpected challenges,Sir MacArthur is never going to change his faithful sense of personal commitment concerning both his friendship with the artist and his private art collection growing reputation,continuously updated integrity. No big deal,whatsoever.Hard working art collector's self-consciousness.I like that...and so does the artist. Anyway,just as with the tides in the sea,there is an ebb and flow to the tides of Antonio Pessoa's Home Studio leisure weekends. Swimming in the art world,understanding its awesome Universe and eventually,of course,swimming through the sand of bizarre timing and close encounters with unannounced visitors. What all this reminds me of is how great is to have the world in our hands and time by our side. At last check I find myself wondering. Visitors...or Invaders? Miriam Di Rosa! A Lady in the Water!The water of the Art Ocean.Atlantis? It's tea time,in the contemporary Fine Art Shrine! Miriam sits down at the steaming good smelling table with her gentle jet-set complexity although grotesque proportions. She starts by complaining about the weather,then seriously complaining about her love affairs setbacks,then about the art market impractical foolish unpredictable roller coaster unreliable flux and flows,then she goes on complaining about the enough of non-sense world we live in,and at last she complains about all topics in a row,she says she's had it...and by then,surprise,surprise,believe me or not,crazy as it seems,forty five minutes had gone by and tea time was over. Miriam Di Rosa and the artist,they are actually so used to share whatever-you name it together,yet so aware of the intentions of one another,that they don't permit themselves anymore to become ruffled or victimized. Sir MacArthur looks mildly tolerantly patient and me,well,I fortunately have reached that level of after-walk,after-tea.who-cares,accomplished calmness. Tea time is over and Antonio Pessoa looks bored,slightly standoffish,I suppose a bit tired.Miriam somehow always succeeds to set this mood paradigm shifting in the artist emotional mechanism.He accepts her exactly how she is and she remains in his life playing the important role of art critic,art curator,although systematically,hopelessly expecting to keep the artist image strangely tuned in what he was six years ago...still illuminated by the pure oil smelling Romantic Period's Modern Art bulb. On the whole,Miriam Di Rosa regards Pessoa's contemporary series as a road-map to something which hasn't yet been achieved and I think she secretly believes it never will. I understand her feelings(let alone her old fashionad artistic concepts ) however,by all means I don't subscribe her point of view. Pessoa in my opinion is actually going through his fine art very,very best up to now,and that's the general public perspective,except for Miriam who still has this secret hopeless hope to re- convert the artist to the old models of Modern Art.Too late,if you ask me. Pessoa wastes no time climbing back aboard the now urgent loneliness of his studio,while the fictional Lady Miriam keeps me company as we sadly watch him go,leaving us behind...and he's gone. After a long silent while Miriam Di Rosa stands up and gets ready to go. I light my pipe as I hear her say "It's not all,isn't it?Antonio doesn't need my company nor my advice anymore.Enough Genius IQ,I suppose." I say nothing.I know exactly what's going on between the two of them,and I also know it's none of my business...well,at least while she is around. "If he's aiming for Genius IQ Perfection that's his problem." she goes on as she walks towards the door."But my previous experience tells me he was a much better artist,before.Anyway,the great Antonio Pessoa will never be successful if he sticks to this contemporary abstract non-sense.That much I can tell you.He's just trying to be a little innovative but definitely losing the Great Master's touch.It's a shame,really,it's a shame,but there's nothing much I can possibly do about this weird situation.Anyway,guys,take care,all of you.I'll be in touch...I think.Goodbye." She closes the door behind her.And she's gone! Under my circumstances I kept on smoking my pipe,while recognizing she couldn't have been more mistaken. If to much art studio action can be at times responsible for making the artist's mind dense,it's also true the his controversial relationship with Miriam - always on the verge of actually going down the drain ( which miraculously never seems to happen )- hasn't helped much to improve his mood after our tea time nail-bitting session. So after sunset,Jasper drives us to the Meditation Center,nº39.The ultimate shrine for total peace of mind,discernment and relaxation. The most valuable thing you can learn about Meditation multiple benefits is that it indeed shapes your character,provides you with a rewarding inner-self awareness and asures you this happy and healthy well-being,the great foundation that enables you to wake up every single day ready and steady to get up and literally go fot it,whatever that might happens to turn out to be,particularly concerning Antonio Pessoa's challenging life,a great powerful mindset and a solid self-centered unbreakable motivation,more than enough to overcome professional obstacles and general serious commitments. It's imperative by now to understand how these systematic meditation sessions and rituals have contributed immensely for the artist's amazing personal growth and his latest increasing artistic performance success. The power of balance,minimizing all external and internal clutter,recalibrating the artist and assess his direction regularly,implementing higher love principles,clearing out inconsistent behaviors that may eventually push him off track,discerning when it is appropriate to let go or move forward,making honoring his truth in art expression his top priority,honoring and encouraging his continual growth and learning,setting a clear and focused intent so he can share it and follow through to completion,and discovering how to strengthen his character and soul so they can't be bought nor manipulated. Antonio Pessoa has embraced these commandments at Bala Mani's Meditation Center,and since then,he has been teached and coached surrounded himself with Masters of the Mind he believes and trusts,and consequently adopting naturally and gradually a surprising new line attitude,actually the key element that has been a positive and successful step towards his current genius efficiency not only in art performance but in his personal,social and professional life,with remarkable results so far,providing him with the inevitable super easy going skills and know-how to get out and play to win. Pessoa's weelky sessions at the Meditation Center have been setting his mind to face and overcome all professional obstacles plus providing him with a remarkable Know-How and easy- to-doingness when it comes to make the most of his multiple projects,challenges and dreams,let alone his highly effective art performance. The Age of Aquarius has given us the great possibilities of Quantum Physics. There is an infinite universe of intelligent and highly creative energy where the artist pulls out the Quantum Ocean,enabling him to continuously accomplish with little time and effort,his personal lifestyle concept,artistic projects and professional commitments. As an art collector,art critic,art coach and counselor,supporting and reviewing Antonio Pessoa's Life and Work,has proven to be probably the most exciting experience of my seventy-two years of multiple interesting projects all over the world so far. Thereby,as a matter of fact it's rather rewarding just to witness how the artist has actually increased his artistic performance to such an extent of quality,visual impact providing art lovers with a substantial new contemporary literacy,furthermore making it possible for a huge amount of public realize the full potential of his Oeuvre and very particularly of his innovative capacity. Systematically exposing himself to exciting new ideas and perspectives,Antonio Pessoa,with a relevant help from his impressive mindset proceeds with the right attitude,progresses into the future on a full determined one million-steps- forward journey,with the energy,feel,style and proficient imagination,plus his absolute clear purpose serving him and all his collaborators in all important specific areas,possible and "impossible" ways. Back home,we spend the rest of the evening just the two of us,listening to soft music and relaxing at the balcony,emotionally at ease and enjoying the spendid warm night atmosphere and the ongoing cheerful crowd celebrating life down at the charming square. We have dinner,confidently sharing our viewpoints over so many interesting subjects and next thing we know,the square is empty,it's 1 a.m. and we call it a night. Saturday morning,I woke up before the house got really busy,so after having breakfast delivered by Arturo and his wife,consisting in a cross-between mediterranean food and english ham and eggs,I took a stroll along the seaside avenue,not too long a walk,just enough to stretch my legs and let the blood quicly flow into my grey cells as the bright sun rays provided me with enough energy for the rest of the day. When I got back to the artist's Home Studio it seemed as if all hell broke loose. James Babel was once again feeling pretty lousy over David Medina and his usual dread failures. Life basic essentials teach you different ways to look at life.In this specific area,mine and Antonio Pessoa's traditional detachment was indeed being used to our great advantage. As everybody seemed just about to start crawling up the walls,only Pierre Fontanals,the artist and myself,seemed to remain cool,calm and collaborating aiming at finding a snappy solution for what seemed to be the financial crash of the century. Twenty minutes later we all went out for lunch.An early,struggling and out loud speaking nerve-shattering lunch.Bad news is we had Pietro Fabricci to join the club...he and his humorless sense of humor. The artist and the sophisticated and versatile Pierre Fontanals might see him as a smarty-arty sort of clown,or should I say,multifaced juggler clown...never mind... The circus entertainer was after all James Babel and his out of breath manifestation of blame on the guilty one,David Medina for having sold nine valuable masterpieces for a substantial incorrectly measured price. Eating at random and struggling to get his message across,James Babel was losing his self- made man public relations strategy as Antonio Pessoa was getting seriously bored and so was I,just for the record and for all that matters. We left the restaurant in a quite remarkable polite hurry and made our way back home,fortunately quickly recovering from the embarassing sort of everything-you-need-to-know about how to throw a lousy lunch party. Pessoa once again looks slightly bored,moody blue. I suppose so many types of people around him quite often actually succeed to take his concentration away,or at least to a less effective level in which he inevitably can't help feeling awkward enough to continuously avoid situations that might turn out to interfere negatively with his deliciously silent philosophical universe. Very far from being some corny sort of ethereal spiritual mumbo-jumbo,Antonio Pessoa's lifestyle is definitely based upon a practical wisdom and vision of emotional abundance,aiming at making his art performance,private and social life,professional commitments,flourish,grow and expand. Thereby,no wonder his Studio 1's celestial peace is for the artist his ultimate heaven,favorite playground and his divine castle where all ghostly apparitions dissolve and melt away making way for spiritual lightness and proficient creativeness. The artist has become more and more conscious,concerned and aware that what he expects to happen in his art studio - specifically when it comes to excel in art expression is determined by the thoughts he dwells upon plus the intensity of the emotions behind those thoughts. Systematically using imagery to create innovative contemporary art patterns he knows how to give himself the freedom to reach for the stars of supreme awareness (inspiration!),one idea leads to another,and the momentum he generates with these mind tools,one thousand and one visions and beyond,will begin a magical fast shift in his creative power so is art performance becomes a passionate flow of emotions where he finds himself mastering the process of being the ultimate mediator between the reality circus and visual poetry.Art! The mystery about the current amazing chemistry between Antonio Pessoa and Boris Dainville is after all very clear,so it's no mystery al last check whatsoever. They are both emotionally concentrated on the power of all forms of Art,including human relations. They hop on the strong rules of spiritual energy,learning together how to prioritize the great Truth known to all mystics and ancient sages. What they mean to each other,more than sympathetic resonance,is an absolute like attracts like effortless harmony,sharing the same life approach in which basically the only possible option is to be and feel absolutely alive. So this Saturday,once again,they keep in touch over the phone,as the artist goes on working on several canvases and watercolors at the same time and I keep him company as I sit quietly reading,taking notes or simply watching him suggest awesome visual propositions with every painting brush stroke as time goes slowly and pleasurably by in Studio 1 and as the sun beams keep coming in anticipating yet another delicious warm subtropical night. Once again we're having dinner at the comfy balcony.Antonio Pessoa looks relaxed now,however thoughtful,sharing the silence with me,plenty aware that I,more than anyone else in the world,can make out the essence of his pondering,even in the silence,or when we talk exchanging ideas,projects,secrets,concepts,dreams,you name it,I'm able to read the underlines,able to accurately interpret the inner-areas of the artist's intimate reflections and thereby succeed to come up with a rather clear picture of his current perspective of the whole field of life,world,art...and beyond. He is a complex,informed,wise distinguished man.He has embraced the whole creative process,art studio,lifestyle and beyond.This is the big one,and this is the main reason why I've been reviewing his Life and Work for the past ten years up to now. Some of Antonio Pessoa's top qualities are definitely his increasing capacity to keep his mind on task,it actually gets easier and easier for the artist to become fully focused on what's more important,beginning with his art studio daily action,indeed a creative ritual which has become a pleasurable and inevitable part of his life.Also using his subconscious to accept that what he desires is possible to achieve,even his wildest dreams,keeps him steady on the right track and mastering the art of being ready when the magic happens,like something he will most certainly will enjoy,even when it comes in the most unexpected ways.Pessoa handles this emotion- charged feelings aiming at expand his multiple issues and areas,an ever growing display of fascinating projects,leading him to reach higher levels of living the ultimate Life Supreme! After dinner we move back to the studio,where Scotch is served in cognac snifters by the silent- polite Arturo.He leaves us alone as the phone rings announcing an incoming call fromm Felix Nuñez. Felix Nuñez is taking care of the artist's affairs in San Francisco,CA, and he has been doing it for over two years already,now.From the five minutes conversation I can figure out Nuñez has successfully added three more reputable art collectors to the artist's U.S.A. crème de la crème clients list.Fair enough.Pessoa hangs up the phone with a broad smile of satisfaction on his face. "This young man is just about to hit the big time,Jacob,and so are we"he says. "You are,not me" I say "I'm just an innocent bystander.But I like it!Are you hearing me complaining?" We're laughing out loud,now...making a toast to good health. The Art World! Bigger names have come and gone,but few careers in contemporary fine art have been more consistently interesting over the last ten years than Antonio Pessoa's.Painstakingly careful and accurate the artist goes on this Saturday after midnight exhaustively staining here and there,living up to his art studio wizard reputation. His latest paintings are just amazing,passionate and so chromatically beautiful and at the same time deliciously absurd in their successful attemp to reproduce the artist's serious sensory experiences. Saturday's featured artist,takes the midnight express absolutely motivated and comfy in the spacious comfort of Studio 1.Into art action now completely,his burning fire seems to go higher and higher,and once again I feel helplessly inspired as I watch him dancing about the awesome scenario,mainly furnished by huge easels,gigantic and medium size canvases,oak tables covered with an apparent chaotic display of finished and unfinished watercolors,drawings,collages,mixed medias and small sketches here and there and everywhere. There's a beautiful abstract acrylic on watercolor paper on a chair I hadn't noticed the day before.I ask him where did it come from.The artist tells me he started doing it yesterday,and that's where he was actually writing this wonderful weekend poetry.What poetry,I just asked,not because I didn't know what he was talking about,I did,but just to get my private kick,well,mainly to make conversation. "Momentum takes over " he says "It's easy enough to dream and plan big projects,but when it comes to see a particular weekend measurable progress,nothing like a watercolor to draw the whole map.It's like an episode.That's what it's meant to be.The Weekend Report!" So that was it,I thought.Antonio Pessoa's intention generator was on once again,with the rushed busy flow of his eclectic style,the artist's ever present amazing capacity to see artistic challenges as supreme opportunities working toward innovative ideas,as he goes on and on staining here and there filled with passion,creative fire and almost childish excitement. Suddenly he stops and looks at me as taken by surprise,slightly puzzled and definitely amused. "I don't know why I bother to go on painting,it's almost 2 a.m.,you must be tired and I'm keeping you here,Jacob.We should be going to bed and call it a night." "Let your inner light shine,my friend,go on with what you were doing and please do not worry about me.I'm quite alright and very entertained if you ask me." The artist shrugged and said. "Just a few minutes more and then we'll have another scotch on the balcony." I watch him as he gets back down to work. Antonio Pessoa's amazing power of persistence,I thought,that's the real secret for his artistic success.It's always been as far as I can recall.And it was indeed 2 a.m. by then. As soon as I discovered it was already 11:30 a.m.,I jumped out of bed,simultaneously recasting my priorities,such as a good cold shower and a late breakfast delivered by a silent Jasper at the spacious kitchen,all part of a process of treating me like a special honor guest. After taking a look a the ongoing situation in the artist's Home Studio as I watched my energy level raise up by witnessing the energetically vibrating excitement of everyone's pleasurable working flux and flow,every step I take toward Antonio Pessoa's contemporary Fine Art shrine,Studio 1,the clearer it became that he had company this morning.As I got closer to the door,I knew the artist was facing a new challenge today.Listening patiently to Boris Dainville's latest episodes. I let myself in and after taking a sit and picking up my notepad,I had to face the fact that Boris Dainville had just been through yet another love affair setback with a strange woman from Dublin who at last check proved to be a tough pill to swallow for the millionaire and enthusiastic art collector's delicate emotional attachment,another overwhelming failure to join his rich content love affairs diary. Now that I come to think of it I have to admit The Beatles were right when they came up with "Can't buy me Love" song. No matter the stage of art performance Antonio Pessoa finds himself in,he can't help run through a whole fully concentrated working day,without being almost systematically interrupted by unexpected visitors out of his endless list of unique soul mates. Although this list seems to be the list of an artist with a pretty wide and diverse social life,unquestionable fact,the pros and cons of this circumstance after all very often provides him with a rather awkward momentum,sometimes in the form of a focus saboteur,when art action remains stuck,eventually totally inactive,while these overwhelming unexpected last minute visitors,may prove to be long lasting gossip overloaded whimperish meetings,classified information sessions,where his best and closest friends,as bizarre as it may sound,come to his Studio and to his arms seeking wise advice on multiple emotional subjects,soul mates who at a certain point of their lives seem to know little or nothing about how to handle a specific situation,particularly concerning matters of the flesh,of course. Although I know and have to admit that running away from this almost daily inevitable scenario may be Pessoa's first instinct,somehow he ethically finds it more beneficial to meet it head-on,taking a different approach to every different situation.A valuable exercise! The artist's good listener magic is thereby created from being a giving person who gives to giving people,such as Boris Dainville. The day goes by as the three of us continue the communicating process,through lunch,another art session time,tea time,a sunset walk along the boulevard and by dinner time we were basically emotionally exhausted,literally almost passing out on the dining room floor,a simple way to put down in words how Boris Dainville's love affairs setbacks can turn out to become a totally thumbs down negative feelings network. Anyway,just before midnight the lover boy goes away for good after seven seasons with the saints,leaving us alone in a sea of sighs in the ultimate effort to pull ourselves together,having the last one for the road double Scotch on the rocks at the exotic balcony overlooking the stunning bay.Some Sunday! I woke up monday morning to join the temper- based complaints of Miriam Di Rosa at the steaming breakfast fancy round table. Contrary to what she seems decided to believe,the artist is not bound for getting easily trapped on her nightmarish reality,nor is he willing to be mistakenly dropped off on her outmoded planet. "Why isn't your Art the way it should be?Just the way it used to be?" She complains as Antonio Pessoa copes as best as possible with her sadness,with his traditional well-being,tolerance and joy- even detachment- as a pure realization that after all her opinion matters,in spite of her stubborn unwillingness to take the ultimate step and expand her vision into the larger and far more innovative world of contemporary art. This hard to deal conversation goes on for about one hour,while Miriam's unsuccessful attempts to overcome her hidden desperation became more and more obvious till the moment the artist and I get up and leave the kitchen,however no fast enough to miss her last disappointed remark. "If you don't change your artistic style I don't know what I will do!" That's the high price for artistic freedom. I watch his amazing latest artworks as we once again enter Studio 1.This room has become his holy retreat,his world,his destiny. There was only one particular mixed media on watercolor paper which had been puzzling me throughout the whole weekend. "One last thing...why don't you have it finished yet?"I asked the artist. "Well...I suppose I'll do it tonight,my friend...this one is a special combination of our latest interesting events...including yourself"He smiled.A naughty smile. "What do you actually have in mind?" I asked as I came closer to the unfinished artwork. "Because this one is The Weekend Report". Jasper took me to the airport after lunch.While we zipped along the highway,suddenly I got the whole picture. After all that has been his secret all the way during these days. The ultimate relationship between real life and artistic interpretation. The Weekend Report !
