View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Pedro QuintelaAbout Pedro Quintela : The Architect is a firm believer in the art that consciously develops as a process of evolution, as with nature, connected in three phases: Adaptation (immediate responses of the object and place); Transformation (reflection) and crystallization (Creation). Just going through this process, he considers a work to be authentic and respectful to the ‘the spirit of the place’
The ‘Pedro Quintela’s Studio / The Spirit of the Place’, it’s a platform to develop and share the artistic work done by its founder, Pedro Quintela. Architect with an assumed artistic soul, admirer of the miracle of life, time and the ephemeral, he witness creativity through alchemy and harmony.
