Description
Series "Aphrodite" Acrylic and collage on canvas. Signed front and back. Textured. The sides are painted. Extra-Large painting. Un-stretched. Due to the large size, the painting will sent rolled in a cardboard box. The paintings of colored lines, wid or narrow, appear as a turning point in my most recent work. Contrasts, calm harmony, balance and tonal beauty characterize these 'lines paintings'. The bright palette ranges from strong, full colors tones, to soft watercolor values and finds its peak with an almost "black and white" intensity, applied in parallel on the canvas.
Presentation
Artist Statement:
I'm a professional artist. I was born in S.Jorge, and now live and work in the small medieval town of Porto de Mós, located in the centre of Portugal. I began my education at the António Arroio School for the Decorative Arts, and finished it attending na art course (1982/85) at the National Society of Fine Arts.
The paintings of colored lines, wid or narrow, appear as a turning point in my most recent work. Contrasts, calm harmony, balance and tonal beauty characterise these 'lines paintings'. The bright palette ranges from strong, full colours tones, to soft watercolour values and finds its peak with an almost "black and white" intensity, applied in parallel on the canvas.
"In the figurative and abstract art of Francisco Santos everything is possible, even the ultimate impossible. He explores contrasts, opposites and unorthodox statements and somehow he brings them all to a total balance. The implementation of unexpected lines, forms and stains are a distinctive characteristic of his work, where the alternation of light and shadow intensifies the hidden beauty of everything.
This artist magnificently alters the definition of freedom as we know it, suggesting that his coloured lines, wide or narrow, vertical or horizontal are far beyond barriers. Canvas after canvas, thoughts progress away from the conventional reality, doubt and stress. And colour after colour the challenge to break free is the only option."
