Valter Lopes was born on July 1, 1980 in Coimbra. He studied painting at the University School of Arts in Coimbra 2003/2009. Valter Lopes presents an expressive and spontaneous painting, which the artist then geometrizes freely defining images, reflections and moments. A layered process of work and experiences, something always apparently or not unfinished... The process starts from photography where I capture the model or person in his/hers everyday life. I work over old paintings and experiments, exploring compositions that stays visible under recent layers annulling a exact moment that merges the figurative and creates a certain abstraction. I've always liked exploring and applying new materials in painting, when I went to study at Coimbra I've never limited myself to paint only on linen canvas or cotton canvas, I spent a lot of time at the sculptor's atelier observing what materials where used, and then try to figure their utility to my visual art needs. Paraffin, varnish and resins are materials witch I still use frequently. The selection depends of what to show/hide, regarding paraffin, I utilize it to make the painted object undefined. The apparently unfinished its simply when I feel happy with what is represented. It suggest an open narrative, free and spontaneous from my search of the essence of what I want to pass to the observer, its a form of dialogue, in witch you merge the creative process with experiences with the painted object that is fragmented and unfinished, something that is not entirely revealed.
