Creation 3rd Day (water) Sculpture

When we come across Pedro Girão's artistic practice, we realize that we are in the presence of an eclectic artist. This can be seen when we see his works of painting, sculpture, drawing or engraving. When looking at his work, we are confronted with a variety of languages and forms, which reveal to us an artistic universe that unfolds between figuration and the abstract, what is organic and geometric, between the rigor of order and the apparent chaos of a dynamic gestualism. But not only. The diversity of materials he uses, oil paint, acrylic, household paint, stainless steel, iron, copper or plaster, reveal in an unshakable and unequivocal way his belief that there is a specific and individual approach, both from a form and technical perspective, for each new topic he decides to address. This principle can be translated into the phrase “The subject calls for the medium”. Each new series of works implies a return to zero point. Nothing is taken for granted. Faced with a new idea, the challenge of finding the “right” formal language that best translates his vision into an image that for now only exists in his mind, is the stimulus that feeds his creative drive. “And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.” (Genesis 1:1) The work is both a minimalistic and conceptual pair of wall sculptures, that embody that particular moment of creation. It plays on the duality present in every aspect of the world, the need to balance the antagonistic forces present all around. The absolute silence in the moment of creation. Although thought of as a pair, each one works well individually. Color and surface perception may change slightly depending on lighting conditions.
