Bio

Born in 1960 in Lisbon. Works and lives in Lisbon. Started capturing light in 1984. Believes that rust never sleeps, and that we should keep adapting, learning and evolving. Believes in the redeeming power of beauty. Believes that goddesses, muses and nymphs exist to guide the artist in finding a way out of the chaos of his internal labyrinth. Believes that artists should not be defined by the tools they use, but by their work and actions. Believes the artist’s creative fire is only kept alive when they immerse fearlessly into their unconscious. Believes that artists never retire, unless it is for a short while to a house in the woods. Has a double life. By day he lends his energy and knowledge to a training center. By night he drinks from the cup of creation and becomes an alchemist. Works in photography, both digital and analog, video, calligraphy and music.
