About The Artist

I was born in Porto, Portugal back in 1947. Now I'm retired from my thirty-fifth-year-old job as a schoolteacher. Took a University degree in Germanistic Philology in Lisbon and at the same time dedicated my last 37 years to painting and my whole life to drawing.Paintimng in oils give me the chance to find myself and to exchange ideas with other artistswho share the same tastes and opinions. Being in Art is a gift that we all must cherish and develop. Along my career I have participated in many colective exhibitions in my country and one in Denmark last November 2010. Since 1986 I've allowed myself to show my works in 17 individual exhibitions around my country. Next November I'll have another individual one in Porto where I show paintings connected with the poems of one of our most prominent poets- Guerra Junqueiro. Its title Verses with paints. I've also painted all the countries I've visited so far- USA, UK. France. My works have been sold to the public in general and I also have given to some charity institutions in my country and in the UK. And I still go on painting... it's my life.
