I am an artist who lives and works in Porto. I was an only child and also the youngest of the children in the family. In my childhood I didn’t always have friends my age around to play with. This circumstance developed my creativity often leading me to imaginary places and invented games. All this background has influenced my art work in the sense that many of my paintings reveal unreal places and this happens naturally because imagination was present at most of my childhood games.

I started painting ( acrylic) in 2007 to fill up a deep need, which ended up being imperative, to develop a craft work using my gaze, my hands and the creative impulse as tools to express myself and communicate in a visual way.

I am interested in the observation of everyday life and nature and I try to recreate what I see and to share with people what thrills me through my art work. I use different techniques and materials (watercolour, coloured pencils, soft pastels, oil pastels, collage, drawing, mixed media), depending on the subjects that inspire me.

In 2022, I also started in oil painting and have been influenced by trips I have made to recreate some landscapes. In addition to my art work, I like listening to music, hiking, going to the seaside, travelling, reading, learning new subjects, watching films and series and going out with friends.
