"The artist is the art and what he produces is a document of feeling and emotion"
Pedro approaches art with an open perspective. His work represents (re-presents) the irksome nature of space and the people within it - always with the viewer in mind.
This has been a challenge.
With practice and patience, he has been able to transpose feelings and emotions in a manner which acknowledges their complexity and yet is still comprehensible. This process involves letting go of a sense of self and the ego, of refraining from adding a version of his own ego.
During the manipulation of 3-dimensional space or the 2-dimensional surface of a painting he is mindful that the subject of each work has its own innate context and that this should be worked with and given respect. The result is a resonating dialogue, where meaning sits between the subject of the work, the artist’s creative response and the subsequent experience of the viewer.
"In a nutshell, I am interacting with the subject/s of the art work and conveying my perception and style to you - the viewer and voyeur."
Pedro Ramalho
