Near the Loch is the nr 3 of the Collection North & South It's an oil on canvas painting with high standard frame 39cm x 39cm x 3cm frame is 5,3cm wide, 3cm thick ​ This is a new and unique project which I am creating from the idea to show initially the similarity and differences between two beautiful places that fascinate me to no end: the Scottish Highlands and the Portuguese Alentejo, however I can represent many other places in world making a difference and similarity of north and south. ​ I am omitting the sky using a dark grey like the old school used on portraits and flowers, with this idea I was able to create a stronger focus on their shapes and colours and bringing to light their differences and similarities, also making the painting more stylish and modern with a combination of the technique used on landscape. These two regions, despite being almost completely opposite, share more in common that one might initially think. Their pure, natural beauty and dramatic intensity inspire a peaceful and hopeful feeling. Initially the idea was creating paintings of Scotland but then I realized the beautiful landscapes of Lake District, the moors of Yorkshire and Lancashire make as well a perfect match for these Series. Maybe the South will be represented by others landscapes scenes of different countries as well. ​ The result of these paintings is a more contemporary artwork which can be beautifully framed with a modern frame or used in a classic environment with a rich, classic frame.

I am a professional artist, originally from Lisbon, I started painting oil on canvas in 1996 as a self-taught artist. Living in London since 2008, the travels in many different places, coupled with my memories from Portugal, makes my inspiration to paint mountains, lakes, seas, sky, beaches, moors, also I love deserts, anything in nature. I am very passionate about nature, the light, colours, texture, and movement. My dream is to travel around the world and paint every vibrating composition of nature. I believe in energy, healing, and spiritual connection, so my paintings are transmissions of my passion and energy. Mostly I paint in a positive emotion, offering tranquillity, relaxation, peace, and healing, however my Abstract Style is more energetic, vibrating, and full of movement and contrast. I like to work mostly in an Impressionist or Abstract Style using Oil on Canvas or watercolours. Since 1998 I have been sold my paintings for many countries mainly to a private collectors, initially I worked with interiors designers in Lisbon which I sold my artwork, last years I have been sold to England, Ireland, France, Kuwait, Australia, USA to a private collectors and online galleries. I have a studio in my home that creates opportunity to be focus and working hard to create more artwork and improving my technique. I like to be self-taught artist, I am irreverent to follow academic rules and concepts, I like to follow my own instinct on art, the big challenge to get some result by my own creativity, my own "language" , looking the evolution of the art by others artist, search techniques, etc. My goals is exhibit and sale my creation in galleries and collectors in UK and around the world. I am happy to work by commission.
