Chaves, Portugal
Artist (Painting)
Born 1976

Born in Chaves, Portugal in 1976…Paulo Fontinha showed an aptitude for line and color from an early age…Self-taught, he began to open his works to the world in October 2009, the date of his first collective exhibition, after being discovered and driven by “Tamagani”-Association of Visual Artists of Alto Tâmega and Vale de Monterrey (Spain).
Since that moment and in the space of a year, several events and exhibitions have been attended by him, being represented in private and state collections.
