I bring to life concepts and feelings that escape my verbal language, celebrating life and love, in all their forms, using shapes, scents, sounds and colors, as an inspiration.
I combine organic shapes and vibrant colors in multiple layers and strong contrasts, which convey depth and movement. I see my paintings as sculptures of myself, with all the contradictions and weaknesses of a human being.
At first, my process is chaotic, impulsive, experimental, translating and revealing the subconscious, without rules or limits. In the final phase I tends to abruptly change direction to find harmony in chaos, delimiting spaces and shapes, almost obsessively.
I am fascinated by the marks of time on materials, constantly looking for ways to replicate these effects in my stories. I love the beauty of colored traces levitating unexpectedly and leaving marks that enrich the story of each work.
Embracing mistakes is my way of finding beauty in imperfection.

Self-taught artist
Degree in Management and Marketing.
I have been painting for over 20 years, but only recently began to exhibit my work publicly. It was always an activity developed in a very intimate and reserved way, shared only with family and friends.
From an early age I cultivated a taste for all types of artistic expression. Parallel to my professional career in ​​Marketing, I always developed my creative side through painting, sculpture, pottery, using different media and exploring new techniques and materials, ending up dedicating my time exclusively to abstract painting. I currently work in a small studio inside my home in Estoril.
