All fruit of his long career in the graphic area, now wanting to take a more personal and artistic level ...

Damião Vieira is that type of person who can be considered a worker of the arts - that is, the true artist. Although self-taught, he always had the privilege of depriving closely with the master painters, given his activity as a graphic arts technician linked to the artistic scene. From them he took advantage of the best of the teachings, without having to submit to the dogmatisms of the academy.
The artistic vein he has felt since the day he was born, in 1964, in Gondomar, in the district of Porto, took him to attend the Escola de Artes Decorativas Soares dos Reis, but circumstances of life never allowed him to enter a college.
From that time until today he has never stopped expressing himself plastically, having exhibited in the most diverse places and situations, following various styles and forms of expression. It was only in the recent years, however, that he gave voice to his intuitions and his natural creativity.
