Caio Fern, BOM PERFEITO E AGRADAVEL, 2013, acrylic on canvas, Good perfect and enjoyable



Good perfect and enjoyable ( the translation from what is on the canvas ).
Like my life now and all God’s promises.  

.

Hallo Welters !!!!!!  
Today I decided to start to paint. But I prepared this piece of canvasses three days ago ( or two?) , I didn’t feel mentally and emotionally prepared to sit and take the brush.  
I still don’t.  
But the work was very nice and calm. I spent the day singing and relaxing watching my aquarium which is prettier than ever, prettier, wilder, full of life as has never been before. Oh, I love my aquarium.  
It has been three months since I finished my last painting. I wasn’t feeling remorse for do not paint at all. I was very fine with that. But I felt it was about time to start to work.  
I didn’t have any intention to overcome myself and try to go beyond I had gone lately. I only wanted to hold the brush , feel the weight of the paint ( tons , it weights like many tons sometimes ) and do a work which could make me feel like home again.  
Mission accomplished !  
These last three months I just enjoyed my new bike and I have practiced hard to travel long distances on it. I spent all the money I had in accessories and stuff like that and I quit my job as a teacher ( I liked that job but it was time to move on).  
So I basically only ride my bike and take care of my aquarium, dogs, and domestic things, post silly pretty images on pinterest and check emails when I get a free time. Why not to add one more activity, the main one? Painting. The one which really makes my life have a real meaning.  

About this paint in particular… it is just a self portrait, a very happy one.  

Let’s see what I am going to paint this year, I have no idea and no plans.  
I love so much to do not have any commitment with any kind of professional activity about art. I can only do what I want, if I want, when I want, the way I want and tell the rest of the world to go back to where it came from: hell.  

I am really not in the mood now to write about all the very detailed stuff about art in general things and my work that has passed by my mind all this time I was not painting. My head didn’t stop… but I decided to restart the painting from the point I had stopped.  
I am more in the mood to talk about everything related to cyclism and planted aquarium. And what about you?  

Stag, new version, by Caio Fern 2012, acrylic on canvas.


After a couple of days of this work on my wall I had to cut that green part you saw when I posted the other day. I couldn’t breath with that. After to cut the room lighted up and I was able to breath again , that was a huge weight I had to get rid of.  It wasn’t only for aesthetical reasons, it was much more because of the things that passed by my mind when I was painting. Now I feel free and released, as the hunted Stag was able to escape and win the people who tried to kill him and that situation.

I am sorry you you prefer the way it was before.

I found this work yesterday in my attic.


I found this work yesterday in my attic.

yes , I finished one yesterday and started this one today…. done !!!
I just wanted to put it in practice a little bit more.
I don’t think this is going to be the new way my work is going to take. They are only experiments I am doing here. No commitment ;)  

Hope you enjoy.

that dusty corner of the studio I pretend that doesn’t exist.


Look what I found , this 2001 painting …. stretched!!! It is rare… I don’t remember why it was stretched as I never do this… maybe it was to some exhibition, it is from the time I worked with an art gallery…. so maybe this is one more crappy idea of the art dealer.

Today I decided to face that dusty corner of my studio I pretend doesn’t exist. And then I decided to take pictures of the table I use everyday only to prove that it isn’t so much cleaner than the dusty corner. hummm…. I need someone to clean this mess… I will not, only once a year I clean it all with poison for kill the bugs that may or may not start to think about to visit my place.

Pieter – RAZOR_NL – portraying Caio Fern


RAZOR_NL – portraying Caio Fern

By Pieter
c.f.

pastels, 8″x10″


Thank you , I really like this work.
This morning I was surprised my this work.
A really good surprise.
2009 is when I discovered Pieter’s work. Immediately I liked his style that seems to be fast and free.
Is easy to see he works by observation and cares about details , at the same time he allows the unexpected to come up accepting it naturally.

RAZOR_NL as he is knew on flickr , the best place to get in contact by Internet, or at least the best I know , Razor sounds pretty much as his work looks like , fast , dry , decisive.
I have affinity with his style because sometimes I feel we both look for similar targets when producing our works.

Pieter’s sensitivity for light is expressed in a very intrinsic way using simple methods.

His work here is a pastel where he uses colors… rare,
really, see his work visiting his page.

Gary is here , the Caio Fern’s portrait arrived and is really great ! Painting by Gary Everest.

So now I have in my house something that will make the girls say : wow, you are handsome on that painting. Yes I am going to hang it proudly on my living room. So far all the self portraits I’ve made only got reactions like : “Interesting…Why do you like to paint monsters?”. Now it is going to be like :”wow, do me now !!!”
For who have followed my posts here and on other blogs, facebook, twitter…. Gary Everest have worked on this project. Every time he posted a new phase of the work on his blog I got more impressed.http://gleverestpaintings.blogspot.com/2011/06/progress-on-caio.html#comment-form
But one thing is to see a painting by internet and believe it is good, other totally different thing is to be few centimeters in front of it and testify its quality about all levels.
the work is really impressive, it has the right values, it makes you go back and for by all the room and play with the visual effects of the brush strokes.
It is going to be so good to have this by my side now.
The color is really good too… it is a pleasure to stare at this for hours.
Oh yeah,,, other thing I am going to listen with this painting here :
-”Wow Caio, this is your best work ever !!
- “It is not mine, it is a gift from a friend”.
- “Oh sorry, I thought you had learned to paint. But one day you will, don’t worry”.
hahaha! I am serious, this painting is going to make me listen it all the time.

Gary is a painter living in Portland, here is really good and have developed a wonderful work, if you like paintings and life, visit his blog and see if I am wrong.
He paints portraits and had this kind idea of painting one of mine. Not happy with this he decided to send to me here in Sao Paulo.
I do appreciate this a lot. Thank you Gary, this is fantastic and is a Honor to me.
a big hug.
Caio.

OK, here below first, sure, you see his painting followed by his signature. ( Oil on canvas ).
Then you see me trying to reproduce the expression used as model for the painting , fail. hahah!
Then you see me having an immature attack of pure jealousy trying to call more attention than the painting and saying : “You must to look to me!! ME!!!!”.

And for last I took a picture of the back of the painting when he writes a nice note and sign it again. It is very cool.
