Lisbon, 1970, holds a Master’s Degree in Multimedia Art (Audiovisuals) from the Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa, and graduated in Multimedia Art (Photography) from the same school.
Guest teacher at Escola Superior de Arte e Design – Caldas da Rainha (2015/2016 and 2016/2017) on the subjects of photography, audiovisual and multimedia project and digital drawing.
In 2015 participated in the raum: online art residence, and in 2017, took part in the ResArt Marvão artistic residency.
His concerns as an artist are largely connected to the human condition, namely our need/longing for transcendence; here, the object as a container of life, a mnemonic token, plays a preponderant role. His primary media are photography and video, followed by drawing; however, over time his work has been taking on installation qualities.
His work is represented in several private collections in Portugal, France and England, and in such institutions as Museu do Combatente, Galeria Artur Bual, Associação 25 de Abril, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian and Coleção Figueiredo Ribeiro – Quartel da Arte Contemporânea de Abrantes.
