Foreword 

All art is influenced by what has gone before and is constantly pushing the boundaries in both technical advancement and 

in taste. Today’s art is no exception. We have experienced the “shock of the new” where artists sought to astound us by 

breaking down the barriers of convention and of what was deemed acceptable. Artists such as Goya and David who sought 

to discard the old type of subject matter through to J.M.W. Turner, who in his quest to surpass the sublime painting of 

Claude Lorrain, developed a unique style which in his later days became quite abstract. On through the looser styles of the 

Impressionists who wanted to paint what they saw with their own eyes and not through the eyes of others, the influence 

of Japanese and Chinese art, Artists such as Braque, Picasso and Mondrian saw us through the periods of Expressionism, 

Cubism and so on to the abstract. We then saw the differing approaches of Jackson Pollack and Andy Warhol, Pop art, Op 

Art, Dadaism, Conceptualism etc. through to the spawning of the Young British Artists who are noted for shock tactics, and 

include Damien Hirst with his animals in formaldehyde, Tracey Emin, famous for her unmade bed, and Chris Ofili for his use 

of elephant dung. 

So what of art today? 

If we look primarily at two dimensional work, we can see that these influences have percolated down and artists have taken 

from them whatever it is to which each responds. Many artists seek, not to challenge, but to learn from their predecessors; 

picking up the reins and forging ahead in their chosen direction whilst applying their own interpretation developed through 

their own reactions to the stimulus which drives them to create. Of course, there are still those who seek to ram boundaries 

but there have always been those who prefer to build upon the foundation and validity of the various art movements of the 

past. The result is a treasure trove of different styles and techniques, not all of which seek to break new ground, but rather 

to consolidate, and stand on the shoulders of what has gone before in order to reach a higher level. 

In these days of electronic communications, where we are bombarded with imagery of a fleeting and constantly changing 

nature, it is refreshing to be confronted with something which we can take time to enjoy, to observe in different lights, to 

savour the texture, the colour, the atmosphere, the technique, the talent and to attempt to understand what lies behind 

the creation confronting us. 

Art is a means of expression, yet it is unfortunate that many viewers don’t know how to look at original works; they are so 

used to seeing “clean” reproductions or “enhanced” imagery that they no longer know how to read or appreciate an original. 

Some images, of course, do not reproduce well and this may well be the intention of the artist, thus inviting the viewer to 

seek out art which can be viewed “in the flesh”, which, after all, is that from which we can derive the most pleasure. So go, 

seek out the artists whose work you’ve only seen in reproduction and experience the real thrill of seeing! 

MariAn Boyle Simpson 


Prologue 

There are those who argue that contemporary art emerged after the 2nd world war in order to distance itself from the 

modern art movement. 

Without wishing to cause controversy with art historians, it is my belief that contemporary art comes from the beginnings 

of the culture of colour and design from the very first marks made in caves to the marks made today on modern canvasses. 

The styles, schools and movements found in contemporary art are like an experimental language from pre-history to the 

present day and are evidenced in all artistic expression. 

What defines contemporary art in itself, regardless of the materials used, is the commotion within each artist, their awareness 

and their technical skill. 

There are certain periods when art has been more in focus than others, depending on the prevailing social, political and 

religious factors. 

There may have been a kind of clash between contemporary art and modern art but both are connected, because it is true 

that art has only one direction - creativity! 

Is there creativity in every art movement? 

All movements are creative, radical or even disturbing, be they hyper-realism, urban, digital or naïve. 

Even though the drawing and perspective found in contemporary naïve art might be considered clumsy, it can still be said to 

result in a beauty outside of recognised artistic standards. 

Could it be that this imbalance between the drawing and perspective is related to another kind of imbalanced art, that of 

“art brut”? 

Dubuffet, a scholar of this genre, defends this umbilical connection and, after having made a study of this vanguard in the 

context of its contemporary relationship with modernity, I agree. 

The origins, objectivity and development of contemporary art and its styles, are in the hands of the artist to take what they 

want and to do with it what they will. 

In artistic terms, I maintain that, no matter the kind of artistic expression, contemporary always relates to the current era, 

hour, day and year. 

Subjectivity exists, as with all concepts and I accept that that is how it is. It is the artist who is principally responsible for the 

origins of a culture that is contemporary – like art! 

Through his work and his personal expression an artist reveals his state of mind. 

This work, once it is exhibited is subjected to a multitude of interpretations. 

It cannot be considered as a work of art, only as an artistic expression. 

Artistic expressions cannot be catalogued in the history of art, but they have their own niche. 

When a painter paints a flower, a piece of fruit or an object, he is interested in the beauty of what he is painting. 

If this doesn’t happen, the painter expresses himself in a vacuum, negating the beauty of the drawing, the colour and the 

technique. 

Art is a work in progress, in constant evolution, from the most classical to the most daring artistic expression. 

In these chaotic times, when I look at new artworks, I find that I am driven to remain mute, to take my time to just look in 

silence, before I try to reach a conclusion. 

A work out of context is dead; the true artist loves what is current because it exists in context, with or without reference to 

modernism, and therefore must always be contemporary.

Note from the publisher 

To give new artists, alongside established ones, an opportunity to show their art in a book like this, was the great challenge 

we set ourselves. Selecting contemporary artists based on their most recent artwork is never an easy task. The curator´s goal 

in presenting a wide range of contemporary artists and their work was made a little easier by drawing on Galeria Aberta’s 

extensive experience of promoting art and artists; a mission which it has undertaken for the past thirteen years. 

Of course our own ideas, aesthetics and tastes can influence our decisions. Nevertheless, we believe that we’ve struck the 

right balance and have succeeded in showcasing a wide variation in terms of origins, styles and careers. From Naïve Art to 

Modern Art, the selected works demonstrate a recognisable high quality and innovation. The end result is a most eclectic 

art book. 

Represented in the “State of the Art - Artist’s Book”, are 97 artists from 23 countries, demonstrating that there are no 

boundaries where art is concerned. 

I want to thank Angelo Vaz, Bela Xavier, Dulcídio Coelho, Paulo Tércio, Paulo Themudo, Margarida Serra and MariAn Simpson 

for their team work and commitment to the project.

Acácio Cainete is an artist who has explored many paths, many techniques and many themes but all of them have strong ties with surrealism. 

Indeed, it is his creative work (surrealism and fantastic art) for which Acácio Cainete is notable, especially in his broad yet balanced palette of bright 

and vivid colors. The artist, himself, says that the inspiration for his creativity and originality comes from his dreams, his nightmares, his subconscious, 

the supernatural and the irrational. It is not only his use of colour, but also the combination of different textures such as paper, fabric and sand which 

help to anchor his work in the present day. 

Acácio Cainete paints with a freedom born from not being burdened by any external pressure or influence, either personal or commercial. He paints 

and draws solely for his own pleasure, liberated in the knowledge that he is accountable only to himself. He embraces and expands his ideas, creating 

surrealist paintings and objects with assurance and strong emotional impact. 

He considers that he is “not a slave to time but rather savours each moment” 

Drawing or painting is, for him, a sense of peace and harmony of the mind, “it’s like cutting loose the ties of professional and social pressures imposed 

on us over the years.”

Alcida Maria 

Suddenly, we find ourselves in an enchanted kingdom suffused with explosions of colour, 

where magic elves deliver beams of light creating an astonishing universe affording 

delicateness and glimpses of creativity. 

Alcida’s art exposes the existence of an inner self that eschews routine. It fluctuates 

between the abstract (particularly in moments of unrest) and a contemporary, figurative 

style indicative of tranquillity and peace. The mix of the composition (inspired by sentiment 

rather than plan), together with the play of colour and the subtlety of the human figures 

she portrays, makes for a joyous complement to her life.

Amcoc 

Portugal 

To paint is an act of creation. I like the calming 

quality of your sunsets. I feel that you have 

much to give. Your work has a sweetness, a 

link with tenderness and it instils a desire to 

discover more in your images... 

…to create is a gift bestowed only upon 

the chosen ones. You have the ability to 

control the natural expression of beauty; 

you embody the living force of the flight of 

a seagull that distances itself from the flock.

Ever since childhood, Anunciação 

has been fascinated by colour, 

light and shade, but it wasn’t 

until she was nearly fifty, that she 

started her journey into the world 

of art. Having experimented with 

different painting techniques, 

she found that it was watercolour 

which harmonized best with her 

own particular sensitivities and 

sensibilities. 

Finding inspiration in her 

everyday surroundings, together 

with memories of her childhood, 

Anunciação conveys her images 

to the paper with a delicacy and 

a mildness, characteristic of her 

own personality.

My artistic vision 

The artwork depends on containing the title of many characters, faces and crowded events that need attention… It tells the story of the man in his 

different expressions. Therefore, I can see that all humans, no matter where they come from, are the same in one point and that is expressing and 

reflecting their inside world.

Bela Maleth 

Bela Maleth was born in 

1957 in Bekescsaba, Hungary. 

Bela’s artistic talent revealed 

itself early in his life. Since 

childhood he showed interest 

in art and writing poems. Over 

the course of his life he was a 

self-taught artist who never 

attended art school. During 

the 90’s he experimented 

with oil painting and started 

developing an unmistakable 

style of his own. His paintings 

are characterized by colourful 

and mesmerizing use of what 

could be described as a net 

style of abstract images in 

both tonal and contrasting 

colours. 

He exhibited at:

Beth Sales 

Brazil 

Beth surrender to the flow of images, the essence that goes 

beyond that is in transit, which escapes. The city of Dønna is her 

actual refuge, but being in Salvador, her art has the same force 

and freedom. Almost as an automatic feature, objects, animals, 

people are juxtaposed inside a fictitious spatial structure, 

disillusion, with strange and contradictory scales in size, causing 

us a strangeness instigating. Cats, birds, houses, fish and 

landscapes have the same degree of power in the lyrical work 

of Beth, rejecting any qualification hierarchy. 

Territories of memory, of immediate affection, personal 

experience and collective experience are places of power of 

imagination to this painter who participates with a long and 

immense profligacy of all senses for a reunion with poetry.

Cecilia Flaten 

Cecilia Flaten.... Magic Landscapes inspired in the Norwegian Mithology and in Patagonia´s Lands. In the search of a more tangible art, Cecilia Flaten 

regards painting as her current great love. At the beginning of her relationship with the medium Flaten worked in an innocent and playful way, which 

is demonstrated in her naïve works. In such works she experiments with techniques and colors that allude directly to her Scandinavian ancestors. 

Entering into a more mature stage, Flaten began working with oil till know, during 20 years, a medium that provides her with the stability and desired 

pattern of expression - allowing her to represent properly the legends, myths and the dreams that nest in her mind and in her blood. Her work is 

a great meditation on natural elements. Blending the fluidic atmosphere of the sky with the blended appearance of the horizont: she captures the 

interaction of light and the absorption inside landscapes. It is a magical and poetic work.

know the conditions under which they work, recording their 

knowledge and identifying the conditions under which they 

grow old. And that was how the need to experience their way 

of living came to life, by trying to capture their shapes, their 

movements and emotions. Célia started her painting activity 

in 2001, as a member of the Art Club, which she attended until 

2004. She is attentive to all situations of human subjection 

in its different forms, which she tries to symbolise in their 

ambivalences, without forgetting the serious environmental 

problems that our planet is facing, which she also intends to 

denounce.

César Teles 

Pedro César, a self-taught artist, was born in Angola, in January, 1974. His passion for 

art began in early adolescence, since when he has embraced the craving that propels 

his artistic creativity, resulting in a truly fulfilling life. From the time of the dawning of 

his passion, that “sweet addiction” has resulted in the creation of hundreds of works. 

In 2013, he was awarded the bronze medal in the 1st International Salon of Nazaré, in 

Portugal, promoted by Galeria Aberta. Pedro César has participated in several collective 

exhibitions and has featured in three individual ones. His work can be found in a

Australia 

Christine graduated with a Bachelor 

of Fine Arts from Curtin University, 

Western Australia, 1984, and has since 

completed post-graduate studies at 

Curtin and James Cook Universities. 

She has exhibited widely in Australia 

and abroad, and conducts workshops 

in painting techniques, life drawing, 

portraiture and printmaking. Her 

art tends to be figurative, examining 

relationships as well as more political 

issues. Some of Christine’s recent 

paintings have been informed by 

the experience of volunteer work in 

outback Australia, with children too 

isolated to attend school. The Brahman 

bulls on the outback stations fascinate 

her. Together with mythology, they 

creep into her work.

Clara Ferreira, started her journey in 

art in 1990 as a self-taught artist and 

went on to study design at Lisbon’s 

ARCO art school whilst simultaneously 

gaining experience and knowledge in 

oil and watercolour painting. In 2005, 

she was invited to create 50, 30 x 20 

cm, watercolours for a community 

event. This was closely followed by 

a number of exhibitions throughout 

Portugal in locations such as Lisbon 

and São Martinho do Porto. Clara 

considers it very important to be 

constantly challenged as she feels 

that is through triumphs and defeats 

that one grows as an artist. She 

considers herself as bold, irreverent, 

stubborn and slightly chaotic.

Dulcídio 

Portugal 

Dulcídio has a meticulous way of painting. He chooses bright colours which are neither glaring nor unpleasant to the eye. He knows how to arrange 

each element and how to juxtapose the colours to produce a luminescent quality. He has an innate sense of proportion which ensures that his 

paintings have a natural balance. His careful selection of the background colours results in the main subject being spectacularly illuminated and thus 

become the focus of the painting.

Edmundo Cruz 

Portugal 

The work of Edmundo Cruz has a distinctive style and appearance. He is one of the most important names in Portuguese contemporary figurative 

painting. Whilst he produces magnificent work in watercolour, it is for his oil painting that he is most renowned. His works are the result of a detailed 

compositional process and, through his unique brushwork, he captures and recreates such a sublime atmosphere, that the viewer is transported to 

another world. With a perfect knowledge of the art of composition, and his mastery of colour and light, Edmundo Cruz is, undoubtedly, deserving of 

the recognition afforded by his immense talent, of which we are so proud!

act between strength, simplicity, the past and the present. His surfaces are roughly textured, scratched and scraped and sculpted with a palette knife 

using a limited range of earth colours such as ochres, umbers, and siennas, plus blue.

Romania 

Elena Bissinger, (née Oros) artist and poet and the eldest of 5 girls, was born on January 2nd 1964, in Beius, Bihor, Romania. Her father, a painter by 

profession, nurtured her budding artistic talents and was her first mentor in the fine arts. Elena has painted since she was in middle school, and went 

on to graduate from the Francis Hubik Oradea Art School and Faculty of Visual Arts Oradea. She had her first art exhibition in 1997 and, since then, 

has continued to exhibit both at home and 

abroad. Elena’s style and use of colour have 

elicited reactions defining her work as being 

full of optimism. Her energetic employment 

of the palette knife is used to create tangible, 

impressionistic flower paintings. In her 

abstract work she uses sweeping strokes to 

create images full of vitality thus exposing 

her inner passions and thirst for life. Elena 

was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008 

which served to intensify her love of life and 

her desire to express that passion through her 

art and poetry. The challenges she has faced 

as a painter conspire to give her more power, 

dignity, and strength of character.

Art is not a career choice, it is a life choice 

I have always enjoyed Art from an early age. I can remember spending 

most of my childhood just drawing and being inspired to make and 

design anything and everything! This love of Art has stayed with me 

and developed and grown and, now, I cannot imagine wanting to do 

anything else. I have always wanted to work as an art teacher because it 

has always felt like the right direction for me to take. 

I have a Master degree in Art and a degree in teaching and I had 

been studying traditional fresco on wet plaster that gave me a great 

opportunity to work on mural scale. Mural art work had a big influence 

on my creations at that time and even though I now use different 

mediums I still paint on a large scale but now using canvasses, almost a 

wall size. My style is very academic because I love details but into large 

scale and also I enjoy to paint on color canvass and the most on black 

canvass by painting only on the light side and trying to engage the viewer 

to recreate on his mind the rest of the painting. 

I run my own art tuition classes at Harrow Art Centre, Hatch End, for 

adults, and I also have a small group for private tuition. On my art tuition 

I encourage my learners to discover traditional painting and drawing, as 

proportions, mix up colors and learn different techniques (watercolor, 

acrylic, pastel, oil, mix media, engraving and silk painting). 

For those of us that choose art, it is not a career or a hobby, but a passion, 

a way of life. There is no right or wrong in art and it can be translated a 

million different ways. We all see the world differently, and when I take a 

moment to look around me, my mind starts to buzz with ideas about my 

material surroundings. 

“If you ever want to know what a creative person’s mind feels like,

I have been painting over 35 years 

and know of no better way to 

express ones inner self than the 

wonderful world of art. I am a strong 

advocate of black and white acrylic, 

used as an underpainting. Acrylic 

and oil paintings as well benifit from 

this technique. It helps shape, and 

tone down, and give substance to 

your creations. Also I noticed it gave 

strength to the paint application. 

Once tried I was hooked and rarely 

work without it. All of my work is 

original and I love the power of 

creating and signing my name to 

another original.

João Bello 

João Bello is a self-taught artist born in 1978 in the town of Benedita, in the municipality of Alcobaça, 

Portugal, where he currently resides. At 9 years old he began to draw using pencil and charcoal, progressing, 

at the age of 12, to painting in oil, watercolor and acrylic and it was at this tender age that he began to 

exhibit his works. It was clear that João had developed a predilection for painting! When he was 19 he 

progressed into abstract painting - experimenting with different techniques and styles. Today, however, he 

identifies himself mainly with realism. His paintings depict realistic characters set in a contemporary and 

aspirational world transmitting strong and vibrant sensations.

Born in Lisbon, in June 1943, João Iglésias is an eclectic artist not constrained by any artistic movement. His work varies in terms of shape and 

size using materials including steel, bronze and stone; each piece playing its part in his constant search for artistic coherence. A refined sculptor, 

with an aesthetic sense, he transmits a deep sensitivity and maturity in this art to which he is so dedicated and his bond with sculpture is clearly 

demonstrated in the logical progression of his work. There is no doubting his talent, especially his technical ability, and these qualities are reinforced 

through a personal style, resulting in original creations which have a voice and vitality of their own. Through his sculptures, João Iglésias offers 

us ideas, thoughts and concepts filled with passion and energy. His works, created within a framework of artistic discipline, are forceful in their 

construction and morphology.

Life is a wonderful journey whilst seen as a process of ceaseless apprenticeship and rediscovery. José Travassos never ceases to amaze us. He believes 

that life is beautiful, attractive, and in constant mutation. José Travassos’ personal aesthetic and technique are quite remarkable. His treatment of 

light and shadow shows great skill. The harmony of colours, layered one on top of the other, offer special greatness to the beautiful landscapes. 

The visual result is both transcendent and wonderful. The artist expresses a wide range of feelings and emotions, and leads the viewer to embark 

on a very special journey through magic, vulnerable atmospheres, which lie far beyond the boundaries of the first glimpse. José Travassos took 

great interest in the natural surrounding and became passionately involved with it. The artist’s work is mainly focused on lit landscapes particular 

enhancement to the majestic sea and the unique Azorean skies worthy of contemplation. The realism and the evident attention to detail, however, 

do not overshadow the artist’s skillful composition, designed to make the paintings emotionally and aesthetically satisfying.

uses elements such as thorns and ribbons in harmony and motion, in paintings, intaglio prints or drawings. To show beautiful composition and exuberant, 

lively themes is his objective, as Julian searches for his own artistic and self improvement. Also present in some paintings are out of worldly 

landscapes, one can observe the pieces of land and sky that are shown. Julian wants to bring new, different ideas into the minds of the viewers, and

Julie-Mila Bouffard has been drawing and painting since a young age. Her 

studies in visual arts at the Cégep de Rivière-du-Loup, from 2003 until

“Eiffel Tower and the Seine River Landscape” 

38 x 45.5cm - oil on canvas - 2012 

Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated, 

“A life in harmony with Nature, the 

love of nature and of virtue, will purge 

the eyes to understand her text.” 

Contemporary artist Juchul Kim draws 

inspiration from this philosophy in his 

unique compositions which explore 

and celebrate nature across the world. 

Mr. Kim is fascinated with the theories 

of the Impressionists and the Post 

Impressionists and their determination 

to study and capture the effects of light 

on the natural environment through 

expressive brush strokes. 

With symphonic precision, he translates 

familiar scenes onto his canvas with a 

unique perspective, orchestrated by 

the delicacy of his brush strokes and 

the kaleidoscopic hues of his palette. 

His sudden bursts of pure, brilliant color 

with splendid differences of touch and 

tone exemplify his natural originality and 

closeness with nature. Mr. Kim achieves 

strong contrasts of light and shade. 

With an insatiable curiosity for color, Mr. Kim’s paintings communicate 

emotion as he uses color as a tool for linking the viewer with the sublime 

experience of being in the landscape. As a colorist, he is a virtuoso in using 

the full range of his palette to create powerful fragments of dynamic tones 

alongside vibrantly orchestrated planes which immediately demand the 

viewer’s attention. Excelling at depicting the environment around him, it 

is not the tangible qualities that are highlighted in his paintings, but the 

soft memories of specific locals across the world.

Lance MG 

Lance started with photography in 2010, by one day going out with a camera he got as a gift from his husband, Peter. It was small but effective, and 

although it did not have a lot of “bell’s and whistles”, it certainly produced amazing photos. Finding his style was challenging, trying all different types 

of subjects, angles, lighting, etc. Over the next 3 years, he became more focused and passionate about photography, which he eventually found a 

style that works. He enjoys taking a day with his camera in hand and walking around town, snapping hundreds of pictures, looking for that perfect 

shot.

Write about this artist is no easy task. Lúcia Lupenny Rodrigues, considered herself a eclectic artist who has been gracing us with a genuine part of 

art and that has been helping us to decode the meaning of what does not translate. The artist is able to compose and create behind the scenes. Love 

the smell of ink, the colors of life, and this energy is that it reveals. It bears a gift that makes her the gift of silence, a friend that never betrays. It is 

the silence that this artist creates makes all great dreamers.

Maria Tereza 

After 13 years of working in the media industry as an archivist, 

something happened that totally transformed my life… 

Painting had always been an art form that I’d been passionate 

about and, in 1999, in a defining moment, I rediscovered this 

same art. In the throes of a catastrophe, I decided to experiment… 

The first painting was created, and then it took off… 

Awaken! Discover! Attempt! 

…without any technical support, I’ve created numerous pictures: 

acrylic paintings with chopsticks, and backgrounds with a palette 

knife – a particular technique of mine. 

…and I’m self-taught! 

My work always reflects my motto: “In every painting, one’s 

feelings”.

Later on, in the 1990s, the development of her painting was largely influenced by African art, mostly due to her experiences in Africa where she lived.

Mickael Caruge is a painter from the French island of Martinique. He works in 

acrylics, producing portraits founded in realism with the aim of challenging the 

concept of boundaries within the context of racial identity. The “social body” is 

the subject for his work which focuses on the displacement of black people. His 

current work, which explores the absorption of culture by the body, comes under 

the heading of “Caribbean Boundaries”and features canvases on a set of themes 

which present a sociological anchoring peculiar to the Caribbean. He uses graphic 

elements and codes to focus on plural human identity and offers a closer look at 

universality.

Should be highlighted the seriousness that it has, one by one, each piece from his 

collection, without worrying about the style or technical side, without jeopardizing 

the latency of life that originates around it, each character shows the element 

establishing itself, cold, almost insensitive to what happens, such as wanting to 

mark the indestructible and the proximity to the ever-lasting. 

It will not be an exaggeration to comment that Nicolau Campos looks for immortality 

in the figure, and that through it, the immortality of the being, therefore the sordid 

utilization of what is represented, the simplicity of space and it’s wholeness and his

Mexico 


Mexican Visual Artist born in 1959. Patricia is currently involved in giving 

new life to an ancient Turkish technique known as Ebru, more commonly 

known as paper marbling. This method, whilst having its origin in 

ancient times, offers tremendous potential for the contemporary artist, 

be it figurative or abstract, to produce unique monoprints. It presents 

enormous scope not least in the array of palettes available, which range 

from subtle to intensely vibrant. Patricia Molina is refining the process; 

manipulating the density of the oil as it’s floated on the water and 

proudly demonstrating the endless ability of the technique to produce

Paulo Tercio 

UK 

Contemporary artist Paulo Tercio studied both at the Slade School of Fine Arts and Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London. Like Frida Kahlo and Tracey 

Emin his compelling creations are visual representations translated from his personal world. His paintings featured here are mesmerising, awe 

inspiring disclosures. 

A fecund Imagination is surely at the heart of the alluring force of his work. A citizen of the universe whose “stirring art” create bridges between past 

and present, soul development and refinement of the mind. 

Fashion Designer Arkadius quoted: “Real art is the one which stirs strong emotions in you. It always gives you space for your own interpretation of 

the world portrayed by the artist. Paulo Tercio’s work is very memorable, poetic although also full of pain at times. His use of lighting is uniquely 

mysterious and thought provoking.” 

Immaculate Conception, his much anticipated solo exhibition is due next year.

“Your Happiness Is My Happiness” 



Paulo Themudo 

Portugal 

To fully appreciate the work of Paulo Themudo you have to unlock his 

innermost secret chambers, for his paintings are poetic works of colour 

carrying messages for us all of pain, joy, passion and love. He cannot 

contemplate life without painting and he complements his painting with his 

writing. Using his intuition, he paints with an inquiring academic freedom 

which probes and explores various techniques leading to the creation of 

sincere works, - spontaneous and impulsive. 

Like his native town of Matosinhos, (Portugal) which is steeped in fishing 

traditions, Paulo too, has surpassed the draw of traditionalism. With an 

unconventional discipline, he creates for us an abstract dimension and, by 

using design, colour and movement, he liberates our imagination. 

His ghostly figures awaken in us a riot of emotions that lead us to a new 

vision of humanity. The bright hues set against the darker or duller shades, 

illustrate a discerning confidence. His works are explosive, yet maintain a 

serene symphony of inner balance. His art goes beyond the imagination of 

the ordinary man, at times managing to surprise even himself, thus it would 

be a mistake and premature to try to classify the work of Paulo. 

To apply a Freudian analysis, it is only the future than can tell us much about 

Paulo Themudo.

Rogério Sousa was born in 1961 at São Vicente 

Ferreira, island of S. Miguel-Azores. This autodidact 

painter works in a bank, is also a politician, a 

photograph and organizes sports events. Besides 

all this activities he dedicates a part of his life to 

painting but it was only since 2010 that he decided 

to share his works participating in several public and 

independent exhibitions. The Azores islands are the 

main source of inspiration for this artist, essentially 

using a style with Post-Impressionists influences, 

enphasizing its bright colours and naturalistic themes. 

Nowadays the artist keeps searching and innovating 

his own style, adopting new views regarding shapes 

and light.

Ryan Demaree 

USA 

As a Surrealist painter I have always found it 

key within my work to search for that which lies 

beyond the immediate world, that is, to search 

for meaning in the events of the everyday and 

to portray them through my eyes as an artist. 

For me that is what calls me to be a surrealist 

painter, the dire urge and instinct to search for 

meaning in a chaotic world and to convey it 

through symbolic gestures in the form of paint. 

At the end of the day, the world is a set and man 

is an ape.

Semini Kwsta 

Semini Kwsta - Visual Artist 

The artist Semini Kwsta manages to redefine impressionism and 

expressionism, whilst flirting with Fauvism. The movement and liveliness 

of her work, created with vibrant colour and positive and expressive 

brushwork, evoke the essence, without trying to imitate it, of the great 

figurative painting which dominated the end of the nineteenth and the 

beginning of the twentieth centuries. 

The originality of Semini’s work lies in her refusal to succumb to 

novelty. Her work has no foundation in the fads of postmodernity or 

in contemporary quirks which have often reduced the artist to mere 

promoter or performer, subservient to the work itself. 

The surface of each of Semini’s pictures is so heavily sculpted that it may 

be compared to a roughly hewn stone wall or a glutinous mass. Despite 

this, the final effect is one of fluidity, imparted both by the gestural 

quality of the brushstrokes and by the visual lightness generated by the 

manipulation of colour.

My love for art is so great that I would do anything to be successful at 

it. I spend many days and nights throwing myself into the struggle to 

reach its pinnacle. I am consumed by it. I see art, especially drawing and 

painting, as a medium through which I can speak. I believe that my body 

was created to give voice via my art; that the sensations inside me can be 

released only by crying out through my work.

From an early age she had aspirations to be an artist and, at the age 

of 16, Sônia produced her first painting, entitled “Country house of 

Salvador” and participated in her first group exhibition in the Panorama 

Gallery. Her vocation, however, lay in healthcare and she became a 

physiotherapist working in a public hospital. Her familiarity with the 

human form became a natural reference for her figurative art work. 

Sônia also graduated in Business Administration and Law, going on to 

practise the latter. She studied too, at the Panorama School of Arts 

taking part in workshops under Professor Euller and Waldo Robatto at 

the Faculty of Fine Arts in the Federal University of Bahia. Sônia has 

since taken part in several collective exhibitions.

Taita M. Cunha was born in Huambo,

Huambo, Angola. She currently 

lives in Almada, Lisbon, Portugal. 

She graduated in Engineering and 

Quality Management. 

It wasn’t until January 2009, that 

she started to teach herself to draw. 

Her drawings depict images 

which challenge mental flexibility, 

embracing the theory of Gestalt 

psychology which reasons that 

“the whole is greater than the sum 

of its parts”. The multiple optical 

illusions, and the fact that some of 

them can be read in several ways, 

transport one’s visual perception 

into the realms of fantasy. It takes 

more than a mere glimpse to 

appreciate their depth.

Jordan 

Wedad Alnasser, is an artist from Jordan, who, after completing her master’s degree in law in 2006, was inspired to take up art, a decision which 

was to become her salvation. Starting with self-portraits she explored the battleground of her personal experiences of alienation. From these she 

progressed into combining her own inward perspective with that of the wider political view (Exile). Now, exile and the dramatic changes that comes 

with it, have become the defining features of her interpretation of the “postmodern life style”.

The working of stone, or any other noble, natural 

material, demands a great precision. Weslei Rodrigues 

is a sculptor who creates art objects, busts, and 

concrete monuments. Since the age of 6 he has 

concerned himself with the sense of volume, devoting 

less attention to detail, and focusing instead on the 

personality of the subject. 

Weslei Rodrigues was born in 1987 in Governor, 

Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Some of his major 

works include the impressive “Christ the Redeemer” in 

Itabirinha, Brazil, which is 15 metres tall, and the “Sapo 

da Ilha” (Island Frog) which has a height of 1.8 metres 

and a diameter of 1 metre. 

In 2004, he contributed to the 2 metre high statue of 

“St. Paul of the Cross” with his addition of “Christ on 

the Cross”, and of an angel on the base of the sculpture, 

both lending grace and a sense of completion to the 

whole.
