ÀCERCA DE MIM

Ever since he was very young, he felt aesthetic concerns. However, the paths of life took him away from the arts. Economist, in terms of art he was self-taught. Of course, as soon as the available time allowed, attended courses and seminars in these areas. So, he took painting and photography classes for four years and for two years sculpture classes. And, from then on, the work was exclusively to find his own path. At that time, he was lucky enough to come into contact with two great masters of painting, Master Júlio Pomar, probably the best Portuguese painter still alive at the time, from whom he received important teachings and who even prefaced his first book published in these fields. The second was exactly David Hockney, whom he came into contact with at the time of his exhibition at the Guggenheim in Bilbao, who fascinated him to such an extent that he is still the person who has influenced him the most. In fact, his work is incredibly versatile, always blossoming in an orgy of colour, exuberant and, at the same time, with an economy of means. Exactly what he was looking for. Furthermore, in addition to painting, he had solid knowledge in the fields of photography and computer image processing.TA At this time he set up his own studio, with all the means necessary for painting, photography, computing and even a corner dedicated to sculpture. He uses the computer a lot to compose the works that he later paints. And, in fact, he found an unpredictable creative potential for the occurrence of new experiences, thus creating conditions capable of revealing new relationships between the known and the unknown, providing a new space so that, in the artistic spectrum, his intentions and the relationship with his poetics could be widely represented. As for photography, he has mostly been doing mostly macro, with flowers being my favorite subject. As far as sculpture is concerned, he works mainly with wood, iron and stone. Honorable mention in Luxembourg Art Prize 2016 and 2020. So far he had 9 individual exhibitions and participated in 18 group shows. He is represented in several private collections in Portugal and abroad, namely in Holland, Sweden, Russia, Brazil and China (Macau).
