Joma Sipe is the artistic name of João Manuel Pereira, born at 2 of August of 1974 in the city of Porto.Joma Sipe is interested in painting since very early, never having carried
through any exposition until now, understanding to have fond
the time to show some of his works and share them with others.
The painting of Joma Sipe is based and is inspired in the Symbolist
Movement of ends of the XXI Century, that had as main exponents
Gustave Moreau, Fernand Khnopff, Arnold Böcklin, Edward Burne-Jones,
Walter Crane, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, among others, including
Johfra. Joma Sipe is interested in the
pure esoterism and all the art related with this movement, being all
his art also influenced for the mystic aspects included in legends,
myths and spirituality. Joma Sipe is also interested in classic
composers as Wagner and Beethoven, as well as in symphonic choral
music, especially some operas of Wagner, works by Arvo Part and
some Requiems, being interested especially for this last
"musical style". Joma Sipe loves music by Enya and Vangelis,
among others composers of their kind. His First Individual
Exposition carried through during the month of July of 2003 called "Anima Mystica" in the Public Library of Paços de Ferreira, with great
acceptance. Another exposition of the same thematic took place in the Municipal
Audience House of Vila Nova de Gaia, carried through during the month of September of 2003. Joma Sipe, has the intention to carry through plus one or
two expositions still this year, inside of the same subject and
promoting a time more its exposition "Anima Mystica". Announce of
the transition, for private collections, of three of its
works: "Illumina Oculos Meus", "Nereida Atlantis" and "Ego
Falco Peregrinus". Joma Sipe had the enormous pleasure to have
Reliquae, his sister, in the participation of "Anima
Mystica" and in the elaboration of the texts of practically
all the works in exposition. Reliquae is the magical and
telluric force of the earth that emerges each time that is requested to
the writing. It is the blessing of the cosmic forces of the Universe
that join in unison each time that her thoughts are gathered to
create.
