ABOUT ALBERTO DASSUMPO

You do not fit into a box Alberto, but this quote fits like a glove 2,400 years ago Plato said "I do not mean by beauty of shapes what most people would expect, such as those of living creatures or pictures, but... straight lines and curves and the surfaces or solid forms produced out of these by lathes and rulers and squares. These things are not beautiful relatively, like other things, but always and naturally and absolutely." Ron Atkin Alberto, I've been watching your very fine work full of circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, green and blue balls, pointed arches and half a point, windows, circular arcs, pie, all of them to form compositions full of balanced forces. Beautiful harmonies of warm and cold. I particularly appreciated your abstractions of cathedrals and stained glass. Overall it seems to me that great work of an alchemist who is close to achieving the Philosopher's Stone. Antonio Snchez-Gil

Excellent composition of the universe that despite the bloodshed, has a center inevitably superior to any barbarism. The blue that characterizes our planet is the center said that stands out against a background of light that shows the spiral of development that marks as the center ... Self-stimulate themselves, for there is something higher than the signals from the beyond, from above, where we always try to get a higher intelligence. The beauty of the work speaks of the possibility for art, artist, to summarize a work such wisdom. Antonio Guzzo (about Mithras) Your paintings are out of this world and Ive never seen anything like them. I go to London and Paris regularly and visit the important art galleries there but Ive never seen anything so unique and original as your abstracts. Rusty Woodward-Gaddish

It is quite an art to create an abstract that is compelling and stirs something inside our subconscious mind... but Alberto D'Assumpcao creates abstracts that you just want to keep looking at. I think there is something in the mathematical way they are structured and the combination of colours that resonates with our own natural frequencies... Anne Vis I'm immensely moved by the rhythm of your work and your heart touching use of colour. Your work moves beyond typical abstract in that it is more than a feast for the eyes; it is a feast for the soul. Susanne Iles The great beauty has never been an enemy of technical accuracy, on the contrary, sometimes it is this who helps generate superlatively that, especially when you can combine intellectual clarity with an intense flame soul that guides the steps that demand the eternal labyrinths of beauty, and this is clearly expressed in your work. Carlos Almeida I love the dimension of those magnificent oil abstracts. Your work is consistently fascination drawing the viewer in to your magical world of vibrant colours, shapes and textures that transport me to an otherworldly experience in time and space. You are masterful. Julie Marks Contact:
