Description

"Ephemeral Illumination: Unveiling 'The Path'"
Description:
Discover the hidden gem within the canvas, a transcendent masterpiece meticulously crafted by the visionary artist, Luís Bastos. Behold "The Path," a visual symphony that beckons you into the depths of profound introspection and timeless symbolism.
At the core of this enigmatic creation lies a meticulously rendered cave, a metaphorical realm where darkness converges with radiant light. The chiaroscuro dance plays out on the canvas, revealing the essence of Plato's wisdom, "No matter how hard you fight the darkness, every light casts a shadow, and the closer you get to the light, the darker that shadow becomes."
Elevating the composition, Excalibur atop a rock stands as a silent guardian, symbolizing unwavering willpower at the threshold of possibility. This iconic imagery echoes the eternal struggle, inviting viewers to confront the juxtaposition of light and shadow, good and evil, woven into the very fabric of existence.
In the upper right, Giacometti's walker strides purposefully towards the exit, embodying the relentless pursuit of enlightenment. A sculptural testament to the perpetual journey, this figure invites collectors to immerse themselves in the dynamic narrative of progress and self-discovery.
The stone stele, engraved with Plato's profound words, anchors the composition, inviting contemplation on the duality of human experience. This philosophical touchstone resonates with the viewer, sparking a nuanced dialogue between intellect and emotion.
Delving into the lower left shadows, Rodin's thinker contemplates the complexities of human thought, providing a poignant counterpoint to the dynamic elements above. The juxtaposition of stillness and movement creates a harmonious tension, enriching the narrative tapestry.
Completing the composition, a closed wooden box in the lower right emits a subtle glow from within, a tantalizing mystery waiting to be unraveled. This hidden gem within "The Path" invites collectors to embrace the unknown, fostering a sense of curiosity that lingers long after the initial encounter.

Concept

"I want to be able to recreate not what I see, but what I feel, because the essential is invisible to the eyes."

I am an artist who cultivates and expresses my passion for painting through my natural curiosity and heightened intuition. My artistic approach is characterized by emotional sensitivity and a strong instinctive drive. I strive for subjectivity in my work, avoiding objective assessments, and I use a language that is diverse and rich in values. The final results of my artwork are the result of studio work, but they are mainly shaped by my experiences, which linger not only in my memory, but also on a sensory level. These experiences are sublime and come unexpectedly, purging my subconscious processes. I have the courage to allow what emerges and transforms to be the object of artistic creation, and this flow is my artistic secret.
I usually create from within, from what comes from within, and I have discovered that abstract expressionism is the deepest and most authentic way of expressing myself. As abstract art is an activity that is often carried out in solitude, it is natural that the themes and approaches that inspire the artist are very personal. This creates a close relationship between the art and the essence of the artist, at least in my experience. Objective evaluations are excluded from this statement, nothing is ever just what it seems. However, my creative range goes from surrealism to symbolism or from Neo-expressionism to simple landscapes. This is not due to a lack of commitment to my art, to not remaining in a single style, but rather reflects my conviction that artistic expression should be a reflection of the artist's personality and soul. I've always been attracted to free movements, forms and interpretations and that sums me up: I'm a free man of my time.
As already mentioned, I internalize my experiences, emotions and environment to give authenticity to my creations and this process may seem egocentric, but it is an intimate and intuitive act that comes close to the primordial. Although I don't always feel this impulse, I'm getting better at interpreting this inner vocation of mine, this call that comes unexpectedly.
I adhere to the maxim: "I want to recreate not what I see, but what I feel", recognizing the invisible essence of things. My inspiration comes from books, films, the media, personal encounters, life experiences, introspection and nature. Metaphysics piques my interest. I absorb emotions, experiences and my surroundings to animate my creations, which serve as raw material.

So it's simple and intuitive. I just have to be aware of my surroundings, my personal state and, above all, have a bit of courage.
