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.

EGO lugares – abrigos individuais, próprios, personalizados.
EGO lugares de infância:
a casa da árvore,
a jangada,
o pombal,
o sótão,
debaixo da cama,
o canto escondido do armazém,
o fundo do túnel debaixo da estrada,
o fundo escuro da mina de água,
o coro alto da igreja vazia,
o esconderijo debaixo dos salgueiros na margem deserta do rio.

“Há histórias que, mesmo arrumadas no passado, têm de ser contadas no presente. Isto porque, no momento em que aconteceram, o presente era a única certeza; o passado era uma indefinição cheia de possibilidades – nenhuma garantia.
Há noites em que o improvável é o mais provável."
”Citação de um parágrafo da crónica “Inferninho” de José Luís Peixoto, na Lx Magazine
