Color, humour, creativity and refinement in Claudio Souza Pinto’s pictures.
“We are not what we really want to be, but we are what the society encumbers us... the theater of life”
For the artist, life is a great play. As it part, the pictures come out with human feelings which are under masks.
Colorful clothes drawed with a good measure of sensibility and humour, represent these feelings.
Instead of bodies, behaviour is showed up.
The screens of oil on linen (made by the artist) are inedited
In this universe, Claudio paints the results of a language that “talks” or “plays”with the viewers.The strong contrast among the colors shows up the harmony in the work and how deep they are characteristics that shake the feelings of the viewers.
“I paint clothes of the mankind, because for the society, the image worths more than everything else.But these clothes hide the feelings, “says the artits”. For him, the masks are more than the result of a criativity, they are situations everybody faces.
“All of us have different behaviour masks, and they emerge depending on the occasion”, he says.
The review of rules given by the society get a funny and inspired treatment too. “ I point my screens out as being of a great sensibility, beauty and softness, messages that everybody can understand , “he coments about pictures that show silly situations, that result from feelings like love, pain and failure.
