I remember that one day I discovered a new and unexpected sanctuary for myself. I went to Tate Modern and happened to find myself under the quiet light of room # 3, where Rothko's Seagram paintings were hang; Nine huge paintings pulsating a silent dense energy. Rothko himself said that the paintings were designed for contemplation and Simon Schama described them as "A space from where we may have come and where we will end up going." They do not have the function of keeping us out, but of embrace us. Taken from the Book of Silence and also from my own experience with these same paintings on that same place . Also with mine when day after day I live with the organized energy that comes out of me through them. In fact the place where I want to go in this lost world in the noise of thoughts.

My painting began in the sweetest memory of my childhood of seeing my father always in love with music. He worked with classical music all his life and had a vinyl shop were I went to help him many times, and I remember the days when he came home late and closed himself to his zen moment and flooded our beds with Chopin, Bach and Ravel. When I started painting, first figurative, my search was always on abstracts, like a first love, so It all made sense when a kind of bridge built itself in the perfect timimming, between my work and music and the power of abstraction as a unique and individual inner sound.. When I was ready and had the courage to start painting abstract, I immediately perceived the intellectual demand that my choice brought me. There was behind the chosen forms a deep sense of being. That was when Bach came and gave meaning to my work. He brought me back the memories of my father's music, and that was the leap to interpret my favorite compositions on canvas like a golden hand that was given to me by fate, as in a dialogue between me and the composer or interpreter. It has become an exchange of emotions and the beginning of a long road leading me to the light in all themes that my interior need to provide, with the knowledge that it takes only one man to change something for the better in other people's lives. Art comes to the artist as a responsibility to serve. My name*s meaning conjuncts Grace (Graça) and Peace (Paz) and I born at 4 of March 1967 in Porto, and l presently live and works in the Rural north of Portugal in Minho.
