A Magical Painter
Possessor of an inexhaustible imagination, his work seems that of a magical painter where each form has its "charge", where each symbol is presented in a state of activation. His powerful suggestion evokes the calligraphic language of Klee and each of his paintings exhibits the beauty of a great cosmic night.
Paintings
Another dimension: Time
A multi-perspective creates the illusion of time, a succession of movements of shapes approaching and receding, giving us the idea of evolution in space and time. What is offered to the viewer is by no means a disorganized puzzle, but a well-thought-out concept based on a system of complex, artistic signs.

Fascinating works
José Pereira's works fascinate with their richness of color and impress with their expressive intensity. The combination and composition of colors and formal elements are both poetic and plastic, creating a vibrant tension. In strictly pictorial fields, we find intertwining forms, labyrinths that give wings to the observer's imagination...

José PEREIRA

Contemporary Artist Painter

Enter the fascinating world of contemporary painter José PEREIRA, tap into the emotions conveyed by his magical works and plunge into his poetic, plastic universe filled with vibrant tension.

“We need to keep in mind two significant elements that are in a way landmarks in the understanding of the two planes that present themselves in works of Art:

  • The first significant element of the work is the plane of the world’s physical reality, which is imposed on the painter and which the artist can choose to represent faithfully or to distance himself from.
  • he second significant element is the plane of purely plastic reality that gives the work its reality and artistic value, and which, without affecting its content, becomes the pictorial pretext of the work, which is then neither literary, descriptive nor imitative.


It is the primacy of one over the other of these elements that determines the pictorial fact of a work and the painter’s real, plastic purpose in creating and executing it.”

(José PEREIRA)

Art Critics speak out!

A great admirer of Joaquin Torres Garcia, who introduced modern art into Uruguayan cultural life, José Pereira is closer to Klee and especially to Kandinsky's Parisian period.

At the same time, he was preoccupied with cosmic concerns and reflected on the laws of genetics, and even on the birth of mankind.

Thanks to such an encounter, his painting expands, airy, joyful and almost dance-like, and the result is the most stimulating I've ever seen...

José Pierre (France) - Art Critics

José PEREIRA's language transposes elements of color and form known from DELAUNAY and MIRO. Geometric shapes, submerged in expressive colors, describe his innermost feelings and his relationship with the world. The observer can read, and even interpret, the artist's abstract and surrealist visions in completely opposite ways. The deliberate renunciation of titles allows the viewer to enter his inner world without prejudice...

Annette Hoffmann (Allemagne) - Art Critics

In the painter's profession, where - as Braque said it - the first 70 years are the hardest, José Pereira is like a youngster who is nonetheless slowly rising to international stardom.

Sign painting? You evoke Klee rightly or wrongly? Klee's painting is also “magical”. And this is unquestionably the case with José Pereira's work, where every form has its own “charge”, where every symbol is in a state of activation...

Jacques Collard (Belgique) - Art Critics

With thematic intentions in search of new forms of expression, we can appreciate in these works a coherent process from a “Neofigurativism”, in which he emphasizes a dominance of space, to the deverberation of the image, with the purest Constructivist concept, through his sense of order and perfection.

Luis Gonzáles ROBLES (Espagne) - Art Critics

Possessor of an inexhaustible imagination, his work seems that of a magical painter. His powerful suggestion evokes the calligraphic language of a Klee, and each of his canvases exhibits the beauty of a great cosmic night.
