I take the floor (41) - Tomo a palavra (41)

Avenida da República, I

The Nick Cave's obsessions are also mine

love

God

and death

persistently walk along day's memory

at the music's pace invented in the 9th floor of a building at Avenida da República

where I hear sirens

every time

like there were only wounded

moribund

and dead persons in the city

taking a shortcut towards the burying ground.

The indifferent sun protects me from sadness

shrill and intermittent sounds turn up into a Spring' spiral till its loss in the blue

transparent clouds

forgotten

rest in the sky

love

God

and death

while I navigate through Internet

looking for the soul.

I take the floor (42) - Tomo a palavra (42)

Today I am perplexed from images

my eyes catch

all obscured mass of surrounding light

at the ignited core of my mind

where

I don't know why

all my friends other beings and atmospheres reveal

no usefulness

due to the indifference I feel on me.

Manuela Horta (painter & sculptor) - (pintora & escultora)

"Escape's Point", Painting Exh…

At her own private space, the ARThaus-Atelier, we are given by Manuela Horta with intermittent but diversified creative paintings, mixed techniques and installations, the last two focused on the sculptor she claims to be the first condition of her alter ego. We win the possibility to identify one personalized artist from modern and minimalist expression where elements of geometric context, very often abstract, symbolize her souls' status, emblematic situations and others from more or less ironic interpretation of what she sees or simply invents.

"Escape's Point", Painting Exh…

We can say that not being exactly a camera, Manuela is more interested on the creative process while abstraction of the being and his expression than on the representation of the visible reality. To treat her fairly we assess her synthetic and expressive technique based on a strong, well structured and genuine inspiration with result frankly positive and, why not to say, highly decorative and of aesthetics good taste.

No seu espaço privado, ARThaus-Atelier, a Manuela Horta dá-nos a conhecer o produto da sua intermitente mas diversificada criação em pintura, técnica mista e instalação, as duas últimas fazendo ressaltar a escultora que ela própria reivindica ser a primeira condição do seu alter ego. Ganhamos a possibilidade de identificar uma artista personalizada, de expressão moderna e minimalista, onde os elementos de contexto geométrico, frequentemente abstracto, simbolizam os seus estados de alma, as situações emblemáticas e outras de interpretação mais ou menos irónica do que vê ou simplesmente inventa.

Escape's Point - II (painting)

Digamos que a Manuela, não sendo propriamente uma máquina fotográfica, está mais interessada no processo criativo enquanto abstracção do ser e da sua expressão, do que na representação da realidade visível. Fazemos jus à sua expressiva e sintética técnica, fundamentada numa forte, bem estruturada e genuína inspiração, com resultado francamente positivo e, porque não dizê-lo, altamente decorativo e de bom gosto estético.
