More about me
I am a person passionate about Art, precisely Music and Visual Arts.
From a very early age I felt a strong connection to Music, precisely to the groove regardless of the musical genre. As such, this continues to captivate me, making me a versatile and eclectic creative.
Obviously we all have our tastes and preferences, however I like to experiment with the experimental.
However I do not consider myself an abstract artist, conceptual perhaps, but above all, a creative that points to innovation, to sustainability for sure, with an eye on the imbalances of the world, on social divergences, creating a new way of making street art, with Pop Art notes, using new materials preferably with low environmental impact.
One of my greatest influences as well is due to Nature, to its biological magic.
Much of the work I do is obviously activist. How could it not be?!
I have also always been fascinated by the study of Man, wanting to know our origins, our cultural connections, customs between ethnicities.
It certainly influences me a lot for having Portuguese roots with Celtic influence and also African, from Angola, for the strong cultural mixtures.
I am patient and like to work on details, sometimes being a perfectionist. I have always liked to approach complex projects from a creative and unique perspective, making each piece authentic and even exclusive.
I am always trying to improve my techniques, expand my skill set, and find new opportunities to grow as an artist.
I try to participate in awards, being able to promote my work, likewise, create bridges with other similar artists and galleries that can appreciate my work.
