Graphic designer, artist and printmaker living and working in Lisbon.
Nature inspires my work to explore shapes, dynamics, and meaning. Fascinated by the natural world, I focus on natural history illustration, drawing and painting. I use traditional media such as graphite, coloured pencils, pen-and-ink, watercolour, and acrylics.
Currently, I am exploring the potentialities and challenges of printmaking, especially in intaglio processes (etching, aquatint and drypoint), to give voice to the creative potential of the medium.

Withered and dried flowers drawings represent the decline of life.I create compositions by enlarging and modelling shapes. The movement of the trace conveys the action in time. The red, powerful and invigorating colour, contrasts the theme of the series. Associated with the use of flat shapes and volume, achieved by the light and shadow drawing, it creates tensions that give strength to the final work.
