“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:
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)

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 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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
