Biography:

My first contact with art was in the discipline of History, at the age of 14/15, when studying the Assyrian, Greek and Roman civilizations. The sight of the sculptures of these civilizations and mainly of a photograph of “The victory of Samotrácia” marked me deeply.

But I always felt like an observer, being active in organizing plastic arts exhibitions, namely my partner, Ana Cassiano.

In 1999, I decided to attend a theoretical course “Themes of Aesthetics and Theories of Contemporary Art”, whose professor Dr. David Lopes awoke in me the need to create, to do. For the next three years, I took the Painting Course, but, not satisfied with painting, I started seeing sculptors and doing things! ...

I'm a late artist. I always had to combine professional activity with artistic activity, but I kept walking, and I'm still walking!


Profile:

I think that art should be considered by itself, painting should be "painting", sculpture should be "sculpting", in line with the objectives of the New York School's abstract expressionism. To decide in advance what I am going to do, I think it would be to restrict my freedom to create in the beginning, to limit the infinite capacity to be surprised.

Many of my projects have a common denominator that I fully assume because these movements synthesized my thinking: I am talking about suprematism, constructivism, minimalism, abstract expressionism.

Reutilizando sobras e aparas de serrações de madeira, cada escultura é criada, em estudos objectivos[...]
Reutilizando sobras e aparas de serrações de madeira, cada escultura é criada, em estudos objectivos com os materiais disponíveis, procurando a sua conjugação, testando a sua sobrevivência ao contacto mútuo, emulando um puzzle cuja caixa apenas tem peças autónomas.
A postura arquitectónica deliberada de algumas peças convive com a abstracção construtiva presente noutras, unidas pelo suporte e pelo tratamento monocromático.Em todos os procedimentos, há um percurso humanizador dos autónomos destroços de madeira iniciais, pela construção de estruturas reconhecíveis, próximas de construções humanas, com diferentes utilizações comunitárias.
Raramente pontilhado de cor, a utilização de primário branco permite que o olhar descubra as sombras e as projecções que planos e arestas desenvolvem sobre as variadas superfícies de cada peça.
A cor branca revela a pureza das formas, sem desperdícios pictóricos que poderiam manchar a pretendida simplicidade do olhar.
