Menção Honrosa
Prémio Carmen Miranda 2015

... What the eye of the artist does is to select a framework and streamlining your lack, cleaning it of all that is accessory and elusive (that is, all the visual noise that animates the cityscapes), even if it means the exclusion of the man himself. The resulting images of this rational debugging are the visual space that we can observe canvases of André Lemos Pinto. Are man-made landscapes, but where the human presence is just immanent. Are photographic visions; perspectives "frozen" in a given space at a given time. Are clarified, reduced to the essential landscapes by simplification of plastic media. In them, the color plans materialize shapes, defining also the light-shadow games. Clear, firm and crisp, the forms require us to look, without any embarrassment. Just the tone and timbre of the chosen colours allow us to Intuit the sensations and emotions that the artist took out of places. Spaces with soul.
