INSPIRATION : Drawing
The Abstract
Paintings of Paulo
Guimaraes
Paulo Guimaraes (@buddha3074) is PicsArt’s
resident abstract painter. Using only PicsArt
Drawing Tools, he creates true works of
impressionistic art, colors sewn and stitched
together, indistinct shapes that exhume
feeling and expression. Paulo does this with
his fingertips and a touch screen, but many
of these would be at home on a canvas or
hanging on display at galleries of modern art.
His style is his own, and that style is one with
its own variety. Some of his paintings are
formless clouds of color and texture, others
are abstracted scenes that almost seem to
become tangible shapes, while others still
recall primitive cave paintings. Have a look
for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
His work is thought-provoking and hard to
describe, but when viewing his art one word
comes to mind instantly without hesitation,
and that is “beautiful”. His paintings are just
that.
