"In this vibrant acrylic creation, I've poured my soul into capturing the essence of raw, unbridled nature with a semi-abstract approach. The fusion of symbolic elements and semi-abstract forms creates a mesmerizing tapestry that evokes the spirit of the wilderness. A dance of color and form, the painting invites viewers to a moment of contemplation, a pause in the relentless march of time.
The sleeping woman integrated into the rocks takes on new significance in this semi-abstract context, becoming a visual metaphor for our symbiotic relationship with the Earth. Each brushstroke contributes to a narrative that explores surrender, gratitude, and the urgent call to preserve our planet in a style that is uniquely semi-abstract.
'Gaia taking a break' is not just a captivating landscape; it is a profound exploration of the interconnectedness between humanity and nature, expressed through semi-abstract forms. As you consider bringing this evocative piece into your space, you're not only acquiring art but also becoming part of a narrative that speaks to the heart and soul.
The artwork will be shipped within 3 days on a wooden crate, ready to hang, with hooks on the back, stretched on a supported wooden frame, gallery wrapped, and with the edges painted. Framing options are available, and each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its provenance and enhancing its value for discerning collectors. May 'Gaia taking a break' find resonance among those who appreciate the unique beauty and narrative of Luís Bastos’s art."

"Nesta vibrante criação em acrílico, dediquei a minha alma a captar a essência da natureza crua e desenfreada com uma abordagem semi-abstrata. A fusão de elementos simbólicos e formas semi-abstratas cria uma tapeçaria hipnotizante que evoca o espírito da natureza selvagem. Uma dança de cores e formas, a pintura convida os espectadores a um momento de contemplação, uma pausa na marcha implacável do tempo.
A mulher adormecida integrada nas rochas adquire um novo significado neste contexto semi-abstrato, tornando-se uma metáfora visual da nossa relação simbiótica com a Terra. Cada pincelada contribui para uma narrativa que explora a entrega, a gratidão e o apelo urgente à preservação do nosso planeta num estilo exclusivamente semi-abstrato.
"Gaia a fazer uma pausa" não é apenas uma paisagem cativante; é uma exploração profunda da interligação entre a humanidade e a natureza, expressa através de formas semi-abstractas. Ao considerar trazer esta peça evocativa para o seu espaço, não está apenas a adquirir arte, mas também a tornar-se parte de uma narrativa que fala ao coração e à alma.
A obra de arte será enviada no prazo de 3 dias em caixa de madeira, pronta a pendurar, com ganchos na parte de trás, esticada em estrutura de madeira e com os bordos pintados. Estão disponíveis opções de emolduramento e cada peça vem com um Certificado de Autenticidade, garantindo a sua proveniência e aumentando o seu valor para colecionadores exigentes. Que 'Gaia fazendo uma pausa' encontre ressonância entre aqueles que apreciam a beleza única e a narrativa da arte de Luís Bastos."

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."
