Description
Artist Introduction
Born in March 1976 in Normandie, France. He graduated Dentistry in Porto
in 2002 and started painting in 1994 during his university studies.
He exhibited for the first time in 1997 in the city of Porto. He practically
stopped painting between the years 2002 to 2013
creating only in a residual form.
He resumed art in 2014 with a special focus and the objective of
internationalizing within 10 years, a life project that will reach special
importance in 2024 with effective international exhibitions and intense
programming also planned for 2025.
He had painting studios in Vila Nova de Gaia and later on Rua Cândido dos
Reis in Porto.
He currently resides in Paris where he paints alternating with painting
seasons in his studios in Gondomar and Alfândega da Fé.
Permanently exhibiting at Sala Remondes in Pedroso (Porto district) and
Espaço Amora Brava in Viseu.
His work is represented in institutional and private collections internationally.
His paintings refer to a fantasy universe with narratives inspired by traditions,
folklore and legends from Portugal and other cultures for which he has more
or less affection. Daily life and more mundane matters also interfere in his
artistic process. As a rule, he organizes painting into series and collections
that are interconnected, with works belonging to more than one series.
He seeks a fresh, contemporary and museum expression with acrylics on
canvas or mixed media on paper in formats that range from large to quite
small to the point of calling them “miniatures”.
