Artist Statement:
The complexity and the
multiple facets of the global
world are my main
fundamentals. Selecting and
manipulating images,
essentially from the press and
popular magazines, I try to
create a new suggested
reality, a new narrative, open
to the viewer.
Resorting to the realism of
the figures and the gestural
abstraction, the paradox, the
contrariety, the criticism or
irony, what I do is unfold the
reality, individual and
collective, which is common to
us, reconfiguring it in the
plan of the canvas.
Along my journey as a painter,
I have also developed ways of
communication with different
cultures, as well as other
areas, particularly the music
and their players.
Projects like "Written
Paintings" and "Pangea"
(vídeo, currently in progress,
involving entities and singers
from 26 countries), they gave
me the pleasure of
collaboration of Kepa Junkera,
Pauline Oliveros, Peter
Ablinger, Gianluigi Trovesi,
Robert Rich, Eurico
Carrapatoso, Amélia Muge or
António Victorino d'Almeida,
among many others.
