About The Artwork
"Smells like Cranberries" The title is an allegory between the exciting journey and work of the rock band The Cranberries and the famous song of the rock band Nirvana, both marked a generation and both marked by tragedy, Dolores O'Riordan left us a cultural legacy rich in beautiful music with unique and peerless energy, someone who sang what she was and was what she sang, as I paint what I am and I am what I paint. Somehow the colors appeared perfectly translating the passionate fusion between music and abstract art, sometimes an acidic energy with a touch of sweetness, like a cranberry on top of the cake. And suddenly, when you look at it, you can smell it! "Smells like Cranberries" is the 24th painting of the Synapses series, Luís describes them as "Synapses between heaven and earth" and they can last months or just days, they start by mentally projecting color contrasts and dimensions, until the first contact on the canvas with acrylic, it's the most calm and rational part, it's the preparation for "heaven" for the dripping sessions, for abstract expressionism, everything culminating in emotive, intense, vibrant, unique and passionate paintings that will bring good energies to any room. Pure lyric abstractionist painting, extremely beautiful and made by Luís Bastos, one of a kind, original and genuine. It'll ship on a wooden crate, ready to hang, gallery wrapped, stretched on a supported wooden frame, with hooks on the back. Luís signs his paintings on the back but he can sign them also on the front by request. Authenticity certificate included. Shipping in 10 days. ©2020 Luís Bastos. All rights reserved.

Portugal
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."
