Dollars and Cents Painting

Born in Matosinhos, i currently live and work in Leça da Palmeira. Graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Porto, I'm an Art Teacher at a Painting Studio in Leça da Palmeira. My artistic work is divided into two blocks with different languages: Sculpture, my area of ​​formation, emerges through experimentalism based on conceptual structures inspired by the Human Being while being individual, social and psychological. The use of glass as a privileged material in the construction of sculptures is assumed as an element characteristic of his work. Painting, which appears as a kind of formal antithesis to my sculpture creatinina, presents a raw realism based on the visible interaction between man and society and the antagonisms created by it. The search for a figurative representation inserted in storytelling environments using metaphorical graphic elements forces an extra work analysis and a careful conceptual interpretation.
