FESTIVALS (FESTAS POPULARES) (2005) Painting by Fraguial

Guilherme d'Almeida (Fraguial), has always dedicated himself to the Arts, with all the ideal bases for doing so, he trained as a profession, attended several Arts Schools, Atelier's, with great renowned Masters and Art Teachers. He dedicated himself a lot to practical disciplines, however, without leaving aside the knowledge, which was necessary.
When he read the books he was supposed to read, he closed them, and entered the path created by him, always avoiding following the rules, and stopped believing in styles. Today he puts his creation in his works, very much based on geometry which he called "Miscellany/Fraguial". In his mental laboratory, he put together pieces of everything, from Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian, Braque, and even finishes (contours) from Miró, (but practicing "perfectionism") but Fraguial, is a great defender of intersectionism and wants to fight for its protectionism. He is a defender of good Art, he fights to present his pictorial message on the canvas, and not in the description of the work, with flowery words. He does not deny being an anti-global art painter. The Painter states:
For me....
Art has no limits, handcuffs or gags.
Hence I escape the logic of traumatizing reasoning.
A rational mind becomes closed to its development.
I struggle to enter the garden of poetry where there are no forbidden fruits.
Intuition guides me to walk the path of darkness of the unknowable.
It is in the acceptance of change that evolves.
A painter's humility lies in the silence of his works and not in the hoarseness of his screams!
