Surrender #1 Sculpture

Contemporary Portuguese visual artist, born in 1976 in Viana do Castelo. My journey in art is deeply influenced by my academic and professional background in design. As a Master in Industrial Design and visual artist, I use functionality and objectivity—the fundamental pillars of design—as a starting point to create a contemporary artistic discourse that deconstructs these very foundations. Through synthesis, geometry, and references to industrialization, I explore the balance between technical precision and creative freedom. Sketches, three-dimensional models, and digital tools are the cornerstone of my creative process, allowing me to build a bridge between the physical world and my emotional, conscious, and unconscious experiences. Each piece is a reflection synthesized into geometric forms and symbols that, for me, embody the essence of nature's creation and the complexity of our existence. In my practice, I strive to harmonize manual production and technology, exploring abstractions that evoke balance, transformation, and a fresh perspective on our connection to the world. My goal is to propose a shift in consciousness, a change in meaning, or a renewed relationship with our surroundings. I invite you to explore these creations, where art becomes a medium for reflection, insight, and emotion, transforming geometric simplicity into a rich expression of ideas and meanings.
