Inspirational theme:
During long dripping sessions I often use indigenous flutes and nature sounds to connect with the creative energy of the earth, I seek the altered state of consciousness that allows me to serve as a guide and beacon for the work to emerge. I do not always realize what I am actually doing at the moment, sometimes it is necessary for me to step away from the canvas for the work to take shape in my consciousness, time is preponderant, on a Synapse canvas. One night I went to visit Shaman, but I didn't realize it until the next morning.
Large scale piece, i'll ship it on a wooden crate, ready to hang, gallery wrapped stretched on a supported wooden frame, with hooks on the back. I sign my paintings on the back but i can sign them also on the front by request. Authenticity certificate included. Shipping in 5 days.

Luís Bastos, born in Elvas on March 2, 1975 and currently residing in the charming village of Sesimbra since his early days, is a notable Portuguese artist whose works transcend the conventional boundaries of art. His preferred themes revolve around depth psychology and philosophy, where art manifests itself as an extension of the human soul.
Gifted with a unique talent for painting and drawing since childhood, the artist faced notable challenges during his youth. The initial influence of a professor whose authoritarian and traumatizing characteristics, combined with social and cultural adversities, left an indelible mark on his academic journey, thus determining his ability to fully explore his talent in this context.
Today, almost 50 years old, the artist reflects maturely on how these experiences conditioned his relationship with art and his professional practice.
In 2018, as an act of liberation from a troubled life, marked by emotional and professional turmoil, Luís Bastos found a transformative escape in art. A marital separation, permeated by a depressive emotional state, gave way to a new phase of self-discovery and artistic expression. He decides to invest professionally in his passion and rents a store where he immerses himself intensely in artistic creation. His work, which excels in a unique magic, has won admirers not only nationally, but also internationally, with collectors in the USA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Spain, Italy, among other countries.
Luís Bastos states with conviction that art not only transformed his life, but also represents the beginning of a journey that aims to recreate not only what is visible, but, above all, what one feels, therefore, as he poignantly puts it : "The essential is invisible to the eyes."
