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tired and outdated existence that desperately needs to be deconstructed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 />
