Artists' signature on the front of the canvas
Unframed
Within the creation of this masterpiece, my soul engaged in a rhythmic dance with oil and dry pastels over acrylic, embracing the audacity of fauvism while embodying the very essence of the figure. Each stroke serves as a narrator, intricately woven into the vibrant tapestry of my emotional garden. The spirited hues resonate with passion, and the soft whispers of colors unveil untold secrets, infusing your space with a narrative that evokes wonder and warmth.
"In the recesses of our soul, gardens of infinite colors blossom, intertwining and dancing, generating a kaleidoscope of narratives that materialize both on the canvas of painting and on the pages of writing. These ideas blossom into a creative profusion, bringing into existence, in the tangible world, the essence that drives us, the very essence of life."
— Luis Bastos
This artwork extends an invitation, a vibrant conversation piece that radiates life into every corner it graces. The kaleidoscope of emotions portrayed is a testament to the profound connection between the artist and the observer, inviting them to explore the depths of their own inner gardens.
To ensure the authenticity of this creation, the artwork will be delicately rolled and delivered in a secure tube, accompanied by a signed certificate from the artist, Luis Bastos. For those desiring a framed presentation ready to adorn your space, please feel free to reach out, and we will be delighted to assist you in enhancing the visual impact of this captivating piece.

"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.
