I take the floor (19) - Tomo a palavra (19)

The sea is an ocean's arm

and the ocean an earth's body

spacecraft without astrolabe nor sextant

neither science of sails winds and currents

drifted in the infinity's tides

looking for what seaport

or yacht club for an intermediate stop in the space

where everything happens as it was nothing?

Praia de Mira, beach
Praia de Mira, beach

 O mar é braço de oceano

e o oceano corpo da terra

nave sem astrolábio nem sextante

nem ciência de velas ventos e correntes

à deriva nas marés do infinito

à procura de que porto

ou marina de escala no espaço

onde tudo se passa como se nada fosse?

I take the floor (20) - Tomo a palavra (20)

 

Sevilla, bridge over river Guadalquivir
Sevilla, bridge over river Gua…

 

My friends

neither every motionless

is silent

nor the night

solitary

while we watch the shooting stars

and hear the most crystalline

waters.

 

Lisboa, Bridge 25th April
Lisboa, Bridge 25th April

Meus amigos

nem toda a quietude

é silêncio

nem a noite

solidão

enquanto vemos estrelas cadentes

e ouvimos as mais cristalinas

águas.

Pedro Charters d'Azevedo (painter) - (pintor)

Pedro Charters d'Azevedo was born in Lisbon, in 1946. He is an Artist with major A despite his late career (he started drawing and painting regularly when he was around half a century of life), but taken seriously all along intense working journeys (he used to say that "he leaves the inspiration out of his studio's door").

So to speak we are in the presence of a professional artist exigent with himself, who investigates and experiments techniques, cultivates, develops and re-creates themes using diverse expression languages. Honest and deeply he considers that in the creative process "the dominant factor is the form choice in order to avoid not only the banality but the style mistakes as well".

In a 10 years' cycle career Pedro has followed many trails which go from one initiatory liberator abstracionism to more figurative and controlled forms, or even almost pure aesthetics and decorative exercises where the light effects induce new sensations as we were faced with newest construction materials.

Pedro Charters d'Azevedo nasceu em Lisboa, em 1946. É um Artista com A maiúsculo embora detentor de uma carreira tardia (começou a desenhar e a pintar regularmente com cerca de meio século de vida), mas levada muito a sério ao longo de jornadas de trabalho intenso (costuma dizer que "deixa a inspiração à porta do estúdio").

Digamos que estamos na presença de um artista profissional exigente para consigo próprio, que investiga e experimenta técnicas, cultiva, desenvolve e recria temas utilizando linguagens de expresão diversificada. Honesta e profundamente considera que, no processo criativo "o que domina é sobretudo a escolha da forma que evite não só a banalidade como erros de estilo".

Em 10 anos de ciclo artísitico o Pedro tem percorrido muitos caminhos que vão desde um abstraccionismo libertário iniciático a formas mais figurativas e controladas, ou ainda exercícios quase puramente estéticos e decorativos onde os efeitos de luz induzem novas sensações, como se estivéssemos na presença de novíssimos materiais de construção.
