"The Salamander effect"
A lost and incomplete painting, with a regenerative outcome like a phoenix coming from the ashes, or a Salamander that has the ability to regrow cartilages it turned out on a colorful, intuitive and extremely emotional creation through a stressful and hard mental process, disruptive, unique and one of a kind.
"The Salamander effect" is the 25th painting of the Synapses series, Luís describes them as "Synapses between heaven and earth" and they can last months or just days, they start by mentally projecting color contrasts and dimensions, until the first contact on the canvas with acrylic, it's the most calm and rational part, it's the preparation for "heaven" for the dripping sessions, for abstract expressionism, everything culminating in emotive, intense, vibrant, unique and passionate paintings that will bring good energies to any room.
It'll ship on a wooden crate, ready to hang, gallery wrapped, stretched on a supported wooden frame, with hooks on the back. Luís signs his paintings on the back but he can sign them also on the front by request. Authenticity certificate included. Shipping in 7 days.

"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.
