“... his painting reveals a search for signs, interior and
exterior, in constant dialogue between light and material,
between the voices of the soul and the almost carnal forms that
seem to inhabit some of his paintings as living and autonomous
organisms. Throughout all his work passes, in unmistakable
tones, an expressed wish or an uncontained dream of freedom
and harmony, which echoes in all of us.”
Awards: Vespeira award (Drawing-1997), Portugal Media: other, Pastel Style: surrealistic Subjects: light and color |
