Paulo Themudo<br />
Paulo Themudo is a sensitive artist and man <strong>of</strong> culture. Everything within<br />
him is intuitive, balanced and courteous. Paulo is able, without straying<br />
from <strong>the</strong> technical excellence and elegant, aes<strong>the</strong>tic experience <strong>of</strong> his<br />
work, to focus intensely on <strong>the</strong> message he wants to deliver. He is an<br />
artist who treads his own path, fully aware <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> proclaiming<br />
and affirming, being and expressing, experiencing and fulfilling that<br />
which he really feels.<br />
This artist, notwithstanding some affiliation with abstract expressionism,<br />
doesn’t seek to mimic or follow <strong>the</strong> art <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs, but ra<strong>the</strong>r, through <strong>the</strong><br />
exploration <strong>of</strong> his memories, he is able to show us a whole new universe<br />
peculiar to him.<br />
To talk about <strong>the</strong> public Paulo Themudo, is to speak <strong>of</strong> a creator aware <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> winds <strong>of</strong> change, never ceasing to surprise us by bringing innovation<br />
to a world weary <strong>of</strong> marking time on a road seemingly without refuge.<br />
We could never deny this painter and poet <strong>the</strong> uniqueness <strong>of</strong> his creative<br />
effort. It could be argued, in a sloppy review <strong>of</strong> his work, that <strong>the</strong> very<br />
nature <strong>of</strong> his individualism, allied with his character, is an encumbrance<br />
to his objectiveness. However, a proper assessment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> painting <strong>of</strong><br />
Paulo Themudo, shows us that he is able to present to us <strong>the</strong> reality<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> present-day, without judgment and without compulsive and<br />
exaggerated fears and expectations.<br />
Throughout all his artistic outpourings, in both writing and painting, Paulo<br />
Themudo transmits a message <strong>of</strong> revolution, alerting <strong>the</strong> viewer to a<br />
tired and outdated existence that desperately needs to be deconstructed<br />
and rebuilt based on revised expectations.<br />
