This artwork presents a compelling interplay of color and form, capturing the viewer's attention with its dynamic composition. At the center, a bold, irregular white shape frames the piece, creating a focal point that draws the eye inward. This shape acts as a window or portal, hinting at layers of meaning beyond the surface. Surrounding this central form is an explosion of colors; deep blues and greens swirl in the upper left corner, evoking a sense of turbulent energy. These cool hues contrast sharply with the fiery orange that dominates the middle section. The orange seems to glow, reminiscent of a blazing sunset or an erupting volcano, providing a stark warmth that intensifies the overall effect. In the background, abstract brushstrokes blend together, merging dark grays and blacks with hints of green. This layered backdrop adds depth and complexity, suggesting movement and transformation. The textures vary from smooth to rough, emphasizing the artist's masterful control over their medium. The juxtaposition of organic shapes and vivid colors demonstrates an exploration of contrast and harmony, making this artwork a bold statement on the dynamic nature of perception and reality. The piece invites viewers to interpret its forms and colors, inspiring contemplation and emotional resonance.

Advanced Course in Visual Arts, AR.CO – Center of Art and Visual Communication.
Attended several courses related to visual arts.
Worked one year in an Artistic Residence in the studio of the sculptor António Júlio and, later, one year as Curator's Assistant in a gallery of Lisbon.
His practice primarily focuses on painting and installations. Drawing and sculpture with aluminum – the preferred material for working in three dimensions, also feature in his body of work. Building objects, using hands, tools and primary materials are an intrinsic part of his works.
In addition to the absolutely decisive contribution made by AR.CO – Center for Art and Visual Communication, the “All-Around" exhibition (Loures, 2015) is a positive turning point in the way it has influenced and structured his creative process and the execution of the projects that followed.
I am concerned about the individual's relationship with society.
It is in this context that I exist.
With some beaten path, I allow myself to observe in several directions, for a recent past or for the future still absent, where is what I am looking for, what has not yet happened. When I take a look at the past, I identify the social and personal nuances that have occurred and their direct influence on my work, and then, with anxiety, look for what comes next. In this process, I distance myself, criticize and try to evolve. Looking for more. Ever.
I am not a painter, I am not a sculptor, much less a photographer or director, but I am a little bit of everyone, I don't have a favourite area and this allows me to navigate as free as we all should be. I will not achieve perfection in either of these areas, I am as sure of that as I am sure of knowing that this is not what I am looking for, but I will do a lot in both, I will challenge myself a lot, I will provoke a lot ... as I always try to do.
With my work, I try to establish a contact between my reality and that of those who dedicate a few minutes of observation, and I look, of course, for the vanishing point that gives me the perspective of a differentiating dialogue for my artistic production.
In this society, the one I observe, super productive, is it still possible to be differentiating? ... that's the fuel that moves me!
