The Synapse series explores the interconnection between the rational and the emotional, translated into abstract shapes and patterns that evoke the synapses of the human brain. Luís Bastos is inspired by the concept of neural networks to create an aesthetic where the contrasts between order and chaos, reason and emotion, are expressed in layers of color and movement. The paintings emerge from a creative process that involves two distinct moments: a first, calmer and more structured, in which the artist works the acrylic in a controlled manner, and a second, more intuitive and visceral, where the dripping paint translates feelings of freedom and emotional intensity.
The use of the dripping technique, combined with the musical influences that Luís Bastos incorporates into his process, gives rise to dynamic and vibrant compositions. Each work in the series reflects a specific emotional state, from contemplative serenity to exuberant energy, creating a link between heaven and earth, between mind and spirit.
This series invites the viewer on a sensory and introspective journey, where visual and conceptual connections unfold in unexpected ways.
Varying in size from 80 x 100 cm to 200 x 220 cm, the 34 works in the Synapse series are designed to create a profound visual impact in any space, bringing good vibes and an aesthetic experience that goes beyond simple contemplation.
