In essence, I see the world through frames: in my eyes, everything is a frame, be it an expression, a moment, a tear of light, a story to tell. Photography is my main vehicle of communication, transmission and artistic expression.

I was born in Lisbon in the early 1980s, and that’s where I lived, grew up, learned, unlearned, but most of all, where I became the person I am today. In 2016, I moved the address to Braga, where many transformations took place on a personal, professional, and above all on an artistic level.

I like to say that I am from Lisbon by heart and from Minho by adoption.

I like that my artworks win the stage without my shadow. The works I create have to exist alone, without my context, only in this way they make sense in their entirety, without deviations or prejudices based on something that has no place in artistic contemplation.
