ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The personification of the giant of Cabo das Tormentas, which sank the ships, described in The Lusíadas, by Luis de Camões. As he was "thrown to the bottom of the seas", the salty waters that bathed the confluence of the Atlantic and Indian oceans burst into tears, and he revolted in the form of a storm threatening the ruin of anyone who tried to bend the Cape of Storms, the alleged domains of Adamastor. The episode of Adamastor thus represents, in grandiose and moving figuration, the forces of nature, their opposition to the audacity of the Portuguese navigators commanded by Vasco da Gama and the prediction of the tragic-maritime history that would follow. The Lusíadas illustrates the overcoming of the Portuguese people on the fear of sailing in unknown seas, where this fear is synthesized by the figure of the giant. Monotype on paper The print is mounted with a 5cm passepartout, antireflex glass and framed with black wood, ready to hang. Shipped in a cardboard box.

What directed towards his work is a game of contrasts and physicality between overlap and transparency, seeking to hide and reveal in equal measures. This stratification process aims to show the corporeality of the two-dimensional work, highlighting each error and new direction taken, in order to remind us of the painting process. What drives his research is the curiosity to find the beauty hidden in everyday life, in the supports and pictorial material, and bring it to the surface, so that the viewer questions and appreciates aspects for which he, normally, would not give importance. His research and production are strongly influenced by Tachismo and Arte Povera, by the reuse and recycling of materials, ideas and concepts. Often, when using his own older works, reconstructing and making new collages from them, he is recycling both the physical item and the concepts behind these works. Began his artistic research in the Atelier of Painting of the Museum Alfredo Andersen, under the direction of Ronald Yves Simon, also attended workshops in painting, printmaking and photography . Participates, since 1999, of Salons of Art and Exhibitions Collectives and Individuals, being awarded six times.
