My artistic practice is linked to the connection between Art and Life. Meaning and
representation of objects in a contemporary context, is what I have been focusing,
both my speech and work.

Participation Award - Acrylic and oil on canvas
Estava à toa na vida O meu amor me chamou Pra ver a banda passar Cantando coisas de amor - Oil on canvas
Setting the table - Receiving people for a get-together with some ceremony implies a more composed table, and some rules of etiquette must be obeyed. The first thing to do is to place all utensils spaced and geometrically aligned, which creates harmony and gives a more organized look to the table. Work developed between 2021-2022
Rest - Acrylic, Oil and collage on paper

"Instruction's Manual"

The project aims to the absurdity and irony. It is a guide-book-like that through photographs and text explains the viewer how to use six diferente objects that you can often find in bathrooms. The project was presented Jov'arte Bienal and was honored with the 1st prize.

“Objects of Afection”

Datum:
Locatie: Bairro do Talude - This is a self-built neighborhood mostly composed of families originally from Cape Verde. It has very few businesses, a restaurant, a bar, a “distillery”, and many farms created by the inhabitants. This is an impermanent territory, which is planned to be demolished in the future for urban re-planning
In samenwerking met: AMRT (Associação para a Mudança e Representação Transcultural) and NOVA-School of Business and Economics

PLAY (THE) GROUND is a multidisciplinary residency aimed at listening and exploring situated contexts. This summer we focus on the neighbourhoods of Talude and Quinta da Fonte as places of (im)permanence.

Family Dinner

Datum:
Locatie: Various locations
In samenwerking met: Artist Maria Peixoto Martins & Lenor Sousa

The table is set up with forks, knives, plates and glasses, heavy in body and soul. The proposal relys on some constraints that can inhabit inside any
household. It invites performers to have a meal, until the end, in silence
