For several years now Anaut has had a passion for Baroque Chamber music, notably string instruments, and such composers as Haendel, Telemann or Corelli, and he has used this as his source of inspiration for his abstract painting.

The works presented here in the Zambezi One Gallery, are part of his latest output. There is a strong emphasis on the Blue Line, hence titles such as “Blue Line Harmony”. Anaut sees the blue line as the melody, the musical melody, and the other pictorial elements represent the music, musical notes and annotations.

His work flows like reading a musical score. He is an intuitive painter, a painter who listens to the sound of the Baroque and from there finds the gestures, colours and the indomitable energy of his creativity.

Anaut’s approach and interpretation of his subject matter, is totally personal and subjective, he does not deny that, he is expressing his emotions and hopefully stimulating ours. As Anton Castro the Spanish art critic and journalist has cited “Felix Anaut looks and finds, Felix Anaut stimulates his emotions and stimulates ours. Lightens our retina with sounds and movement, makes us follow behind the chimera, and he does it as he is: irrepressible and soft at the same time, deep and heartbreaking….an artist who through abstraction makes a pentagram of symbols.”

It is painting about painting; colour, texture, balance and harmony, and dare I say it, beauty. But also about emotion, sensitivity, energy, ambiguity and versatility, a visual journey relating to how we perceive things.
