From the earlier memories of childhood, distinct techniques acquired; graphite sketches, colour pencil stills, academic paintings to the later life interests in watercolour expression, architecture; to nowadays brush custom made acrylics.

The genius Pablo Picasso continually affirmed “to paint is another way to carry a journal, a chronicle of our selves” henceforth inspiration comes with the passing of days, feelings, emotions entrenched in the view of the artist.

Painting, to be a painter “engraves, immortalizes” an artist, but it is the spectators, the ones whom culminate the journey of a work, when interacting with it, from the stark realist critiques to the most subtle of completely abstract expressions, the subjective way of the viewer gives multitude of visions, names, represented moments in the mind of the observer.

The ever present expression of a man who has lived, worked, formed a family, are filled in the works of AGE . They are infused with his love to architectural patrimony, the relics of foregone days, steam engines, boats as well as the desire for freedom, the aspiration to plan a course and set sail forth, to ride, roam freely in the hills and grasslands in these dire times in which the current pandemic has restricted the movements of peoples, travels, meetings.

Art has accompanied mankind since the rudimentary cave paintings, it has endorsed his way to discern, interpret life and has been the founding supporting bedrock of the spiritual side of our souls since time immemorial.

Far from attempting to box in some pictorial movement, from an academic standpoint, AGE in his works proposes the past carried within, as well as the dialog with the spectator, a peek inside his mind, his being.

It does not matter which size the painting comes in, they are all imbued in their own essence, in each trace a slid, a trail, a proposition to discover the love for beauty, to our surrounding Mother Nature´s own colours, fused with respect and admiration to the tenacity and ingenious of man from times past, gone by.

There is no single, unique process. Children are born artists, rowdy and free willed, through their journey to adulthood responsibility moulds, shapes them and in due time, with liberation of their commitments; interpretation surges, pours wildly again, the yearning for freedom, having nature as its mentor, its colours, above all its clashes, transitions, contrasts.

A heartfelt gratitude to the observer, whom perceives it not as reality, but a particular vision, an instinct, furthermore an expression of love, freedom, shared dreams, ideas, a bit of magic.
