Gil Maia's real artistic intention is to overcome him restlessness while in constant flux between painting and resolving the challenges that he is provoking. Considering that paintings speaks for itself, the artist provokes a tug-of-war between the unconscious freedom and the severity of intellect, flickering between the conscious and the unconscious. In terms of composition, Gil brings traditional iconic Portuguese elements such as the painted blue tiles, monastery furniture and the Spanish fan, working the acrylic or the oil around a center piece. Surrounding the focus point are elements that remind the work of Francis Bacon although he predominantly works with abstract geometrical images.
"Paint is essentially composition and taking decisions. It is construction, reconstruction and deconstruction”.
