The Doors of Perception (Oil on Canvas)

It is in the extent of this myth (legend) of the classic idealism that I feel the “Abstracts” of Alberto D’Assumpção, whose serenity tell us, as a kind of flowing, the metaphysics of the Universes in peace. This platonic contemplation of the spirit together with the archetypes we can feel and see in these “Abstracts” as a visual projection of the unlimited and at the same time of our humanity.

-Carlos Garcia de Castro
