About The Artwork

... This is a painting inspired by the behaviour of the current president of the Portuguese Republic, who mustn't be seen as inspiring figure but as a comedian in a moment in which the country would need, more than ever, responsible personages... What isn't the case —he lives for selfies and empty speeches. My goal is making people to reflect on serious politics when the world, in general, is crossing an hard moment because many politicians aren't prepared to rule, politicians that are just looking for status and a good life, no more than that. I usually work with oil on canvas or soft pastel on paper. In this case I used oil. Not for any special reason... It simply has happened. My normal "gesture" is there, once I only changed from theme. I worked it as a real portrait, although it mostly has been worked from imagination. That's the main difference. And even that I wanted to be precise on the style it would be impossible because no style, by itself, is enough for painting, completely, whatever...

Born in September 4, 1952, in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. My painting has as thematic universe the figure, the composition and the landscape, with no other objective beyond to register moments, people and objects which inspire me the capture; however, each work is itself a little story, a romance that I live along the experimentation. I'm not interested in creating, integrating or influencing any movement, given I look at the affinity between the author and his themes and the relationship between his thoughts and actions as the most important. Therefore, my concern is on improving my capacity for expressing my ideas, using the syntheses as a tool for recreate my visions and not as a kind of wrong conspiracy or as subterfuge, trying to respect the models' etymon, the reason of my involvement. The Naturalism is my starting point...trying to keep on reason and emotion together.
