Born in Canada (1994);

Raised in Portugal;

Studied Art in Portugal and Italy;

Currently working in London.

At first there was Imitation of gesture. Then Innovation.

In my individual journey, I am the myth maker.

The techniques, the materials, the surface, the

shadow, the volume or the lack of it, the colors or

the compositions, are not the priority. They are

merely a mental trip.

I’m motivated by the unknown, that’s why my

work begins unconsciously.

The unconscious is the body. I focus on the

movement. Only then can I cast an ideal

reflection. Powerful in its simplicity.

My method is simple. The process needs to be

naive in its initial stages, no knowledge required

or needed, the image needs to be found.

I choose the surface and the materials. I make

sure that everything is easily available and after

that the first layer is created with blind action.

Then I simply react to the possibilities that have

been given to me.

I am not original, I am purely reactive.
