Portugal

Born in Portugal, the city of Guimarães in 1994, he is a figurative painter who lives and works in Porto. He completed a Master's degree in Fine Arts at the Caldas da Rainha School of Arts and Design (2023) and a Bachelor's degree at the same school (2016). Through painting and drawing, he works with a combination of archival sources, fiction and memory, looking for compositions that rewrite canonical images to imagine another subject. These themes are represented in a rich color palette, with an attention to light and space that gives the work a psychological depth and narrative. He has been exhibiting regularly since 2015, including the group exhibitions Fazer Arbítrio, Centro Cultural Vila Flor (2024); Hammer Time, Zaratan Arte Contemporânea, Lisbon (2023), Drowning Room, Cosmos CAC, Lisbon (2023), O Verdadeiro lado da Manta; a proposal by Sara & André at the Vila Flor Cultural Center, Guimarães (2022), PREMIERE at the Meymac Arts Center, France (2022), Sem Medo, Casa das Artes de Tavira, Tavira (2021) and the solo shows Os Algoritmos da Pintura at the Caldas da Rainha Arts Center (2021) Resistir a todos os traumas, Galeria Verso Branco, Lisbon (2019); also noteworthy are the artist residencies: Mascaras with Damian Ortega, Centro Botin Santander (2022) and Unrevelling the Myth, CAU Cortém (2021)
