Around the Cat 210 X 190 cm, oil on canvas, 2022 

花园是一个研究项目，于2022年1月开始，目前仍在进行中。到目前为止，该项目由50多幅作品组成，包括绘画、拼贴画、照片和绘画，这些作品来源于历史主题的结合，这些主题主要与希腊和罗马神话有关，并具有多样的当代意象。风景和人物被用作探索这一相同前提的工具，在相互补充的同时创造了模棱两可的对话。从最小的草图到最大的画布，项目中创建的所有片段都是被同时处理，并呈现结果的，因为它们都是共同研究的一部分。

The Garden is a research project that started in January of 2022 and is still taking place. Composed of more than fifty works, so far, including drawings, collages, photographs and paintings, this project derives from the conjugation of historical subjects, connected mostly to greek and roman mythology, with diverse contemporary imagery. Landscapes and figures are used as tools to explore this same premise, creating ambiguous dialogues while complementing each other.  From the smallest sketch to the largest canvas, all the pieces created within the project are simultaneously process and result, as they are all part of a common search.

我学习绘画，在波尔图美术学院完成了文学学士学位，并在巴黎国立高等美术学院（École National Supérieure des Beaux Arts des Paris）学了一个学期。然而，在此之前，我学了三年雕塑专业，在那里，我学会了使用几种不同的技术，这些技术对丰富我目前的实践做出了显著贡献。

I studied painting, having completed a BA (hons) at the Porto Faculty of Fine Arts, with a semester-long stay at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts des Paris. Prior to that, however, I did a three-year specializion in sculpture, where I learned to work with several different techniques that have notably contributed to enrich my current practice.

从那时起，我逐渐意识到，对我来说，绘画是时代、文化和人之间对话的独特而永恒的媒介。它成为我持续研究的主要媒介，即使我继续探索其他媒介，并经常参与其他不同领域的项目，例如短片。

Since then, I gradually became aware of the fact that painting was, for me, a unique and timeless medium of dialogue between epochs, cultures and people. It became the main platform for my continuous research, even if I continue to work with other mediums and often partake in projects of other different areas, such as short films for example.
