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.

Experiências fotográficas

Consciente de que uma leitura global de um objecto impede que o cérebro faça o processamento de uma leitura sobre pormenores desse objecto, as experiências fotográficas apresentadas consistem em fazer exactamente esse exercício de observação do pormenor, explorando esteticamente as suas potencialidades, numa matriz em que a cor preta interfere com a luz.

As fotografias são publicadas sem qualquer retoque por meios informáticos ou outros, resultando da forma da sua captação e não do seu tratamento. A única intervenção consistiu em reduzir o seu tamanho de forma a poderem ser publicadas na web.

A captação do pormenor está sujeita a três jogos:
- Jogo da luz e da sombra - É a luz que provoca a sombra ou sem sombra a luz não existe?
- Jogo com a capacidade física de adaptação do olho humano – A desfocagem de parte da fotografia provoca uma atitude física sobre o olho humano que durante segundos se tenta adaptar seguindo ora a matriz concreta, ora a matriz irreal
- Jogo com a capacidade interpretativa do observador – A inexistência dos objectos focados ou desfocados enquanto objectos reais dificulta a interpretação da mente humana, dentro do catálogo de imagens nela guardadas.
