Lives and works in Lisboa.

Graduated in Fine Arts – Painting, from the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon, in 2002. In 2003, completed a Master’s Degree in Theory and Practice of Contemporary Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid.

His work in painting spans multiple mediums, ranging from studio painting on canvas to the creation of painted art books in unique editions, as well as pictorial interventions in outdoor spaces.

These various mediums through which he has been expanding his artistic practice share a commonality in the use of previous images that serve as models for his painting. It’s a process of transforming motifs from our contemporary surroundings, taking into account an investigation of the extensive history of art. He aims to update major themes and genres that shape the rich tradition of painting.

Represented by Salgadeiras Arte Contemporânea (Lisboa), and by Galería Silvestre (Madrid).
