About The Artwork
"A Meaningful Walk" is a symbolism that talks about the journey of human life. Philosophizing on a spiritual quest through dangers and uncertainties until reaching eternal life, the power of symbols accompanies us on a journey that can be rich, the richer its purpose. In the beginning, the nest, symbolizing the maternal womb, generator of life. Next, "David" by the Renaissance master Michelangelo, thus representing courage in the face of the battle ahead, looking fearless and glimpsing the immense mountain and its dangers. The bridge leading to the other side symbolizes faith, which helps us believe in a world with a better tomorrow. Immediately after, and in a moment before the climb, we have the first piece of warning information that really puts us to the test, the image of Sisyphus by Titian, as a warning that we may have to carry the stone back to the top of the mountain if we don't value and be grateful for what makes us good. Further on a message of encouragement brought by the Lotus flower plant that can emerge from the bottom of the darkest swamps in search of light, in a clear allusion to spirituality. The Buddha of Tian tan, who sits on the Lotus flower is higher still, purer, it is acceptance and understanding. Finally, the goal, but the effort of the climb was immense, and the vision no longer works, you can only read by closing your eyes, and voila "L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux" here is the key to the prize, the holy grail, eternal life. But if you, do it all with an ambition to conquer, it will be worth nothing, you will come back to carry the stone up the mountain again. To try to lead a full and meaningful life, the forces of the universe, whatever they may be, will remember your effort and dedication and in the end will reward you if you do not flinch from the pain and suffering that is the human experience. So it was in the end, with Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid perhaps it will be with us too.

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."
