Born in Lisbon in 1979, this artist's early exposure to the Portuguese artistic community, including notable figures like Artur Bual and Paulo Ossião, fostered a deep passion for art. Frequent visits to artists' workshops enriched his understanding of various artistic movements, such as figurative, gestural, and abstract art. Although initially critical, he later embraced his own creativity, starting his self-taught painting journey in 2008. His works, characterized by vibrant colors and simplicity, depict dynamic life forms, imaginary cities, and evoke a sense of relaxation. Drawing inspiration from Plastic Artist Juan Genovés, he developed a unique style that blends powerful techniques with themes of human collectivity. His innovative use of mixed media adds a striking three-dimensional aspect to his pieces, making them exceptionally unique. His paintings, often filled with lively and colorful scenes, engage viewers with their technical excellence and emotive power. His works are known for their bright and colorful marinas and bustling cityscapes, recently enhanced with 3D elements to convey his energetic and joyful outlook. Through his art, he seeks to celebrate and question the essence of painting, recognizing its importance in our perception of reality. His pieces, rich in vibrant colors and dynamic forms, aim to provide a pleasurable experience akin to the tranquil and balanced art envisioned by Matisse. His art is featured in various private collections worldwide, captivating audiences with its passionate execution and gravity-defying elements.
