Description
A very old drawing. I created it for a school work many years ago (I was about 15). It's a portrait of the greatest Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.Fernando Pessoa is the extreme example of what may be the essentially modern kind of poet: the objective introvert. None has more consistently tried to find his poems impersonal. He accepted the dividedness of a human self so completely that he did something unique: wrote poetry under four names - his own and three 'heteronyms' (not pseudonyms): they are imagery poets with real poems in them. Pessoa was (at least) four poets in one: Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, Alvaro de Campos and himself; each strongly distinct from the others.
I strongly recommend reading "The Book of Disquiet"

great poem, to not want your soul.. hard to grasp why, but very interesting. Love the drawing even more though. Reminds me of some sort of circuling futurism of a sad face.

wow dreamspeak.
i love the art! the colors, the shapes,...the way you formed that person within
the context of everything else.
would i be way off if i say it's a bit 'picasso'?
and to be honest,...usually when i see that someone has used their art as
a vehicle for poetry, i pretty much dismiss it before i even read it,...don't
ask me why,...i try to be pretty open-minded,...i guess i've just read alot
of bad poetry that has kinda diminished the art in my point of view,...
(not that there isn't alot of good poetry at DA. there is.)
but,...i love this poem as well!
and the two compliments one another so nicely!
the art and the poetry.
very touching.
i mean that.
nicely done.

Good to see something new (or not so new, as the case is) from you, I like all the different colours you've used and how none of them seem to clash and the way it's set out looks cool too. Good work.

You amaze me everytime, the way you use these different techniques, you are a true artist! +fav

A arte nasce connosco , sem duvida tu es um bom exemplo de como isso acontece... e evolui connosco a medida que os anos passam

gosto bastante da maneira como a forma do Pessoa apareceu no meio daqueles circulos e cores... excelente mesmo.
Com 15 anos...? lol... you're god.

Estou perplexo!
Aos 15 anos já criavas trabalhos com esta qualidade?
A composição é linda, as cores é fantasticas e o rosto do meu poeta predilecto a aparecer por entre as elipses! lindo lindo lindo... toca-me especialmente o uso de transparencias nas cores... a estrutura geral do quadro obriga-me a discordar com alguns dos comentarios aqui colocados, não me sugere nada Kandinsky (sendo este AQUELA referencia, para mim, do mundo artistico) mas sim talvez mais os trabalhos de Robert Delaunay e o seu Orfismo.. este também me cativa imenso, especialmente depois de ter visto os seus trabalhos no Guggenheim de Bilbao... aquelas torres Eiffel... ups, desculpa, estava a divagar...
Mais uma vez um lindo trabalho que vai dar bastante cor à pinha página... eheheh: +fav
P.S.:“Ó rodas, ó engrenagens, r-r-r-r-r-r-r- eterno!”
-Álvaro de Campos
(de longe o heteronimo que mais me cativa)

this is really shining, because the colours are vivid, like a sleeping sun. it's wonderful and simple, a little melody in my dark skies

Thank you so much sweet Kreestal. Your dark skies are beautiful and full of magic - the magic of your great talent.

nao sei o q dizer...se fizeste isto aos 15 anos, ttens mesmo muito talento....a pintura esta linda, geometricamente perfeita(tal como disseram acima faz lembrar kandinsky..) as cores mto mto giras...o poema tenho obrigatoriamente de gostar, é pessoa-o meu poeta favorito(o melhor do mundo, e nao, nao estou a exagerar...) mas tambem concordo q o poema devia ter ficado em portugues, de qquer forma tb pessoa gostava muito de ingles....
no words

Oh my! Oh my! I always forget something...
The drawing may look even more crap but I decided not to use Photoshop in this one (just my bad scanner).
I used "lápis de cera". Damn! I can't say that in English. Anyone does???
