Statement

Gustavo Schmidt's work begins with the same elements as the best Renaissance artists: strong drawing and composition, an awareness of Sacred Geometry, and a mastery of perspective and proportion gathered from years of arduous study and observation. His brilliant use of color and fastidious attention to detail and surface pays homage to traditional painting as well.
Yet it is beneath the aesthetic surface that Gustavo's uniqueness begins to emerge. As we contemplate his compositions, the images seem to emanate an almost mystical presence, a spirituality that engages the viewer on a deeper level. The objects and their interrelations seem to make suggestions, psychological and emotional. These not only challenge the viewer but also create a strangely peaceful and satisfying mood that transcends the physical beauty of the work.
