About
A little about myself...
I started learning Photoshop when I was 14 and started drawing when I was 4. Because of the lack of models, I used myself as a model, photographing self-portraits with my Sony Cybershot (digital camera).
One of the reasons I take a self-portrait is because I am the subject I know best, just like Frida Kahlo knew herself.
"I paint myself because I am alone and because I am the subject I know best." - Frida Kahlo
I express my own feelings, my pains, my dreams, my achievements, my desires, and everything around me.
Education and Awards
I studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon, I did Erasmus at the Academy of Arts in Munich, Germany, Multimedia Technician at EPMS and Photography Technician at IEFP.
I have already won awards and honorable mentions at an international level in the field of photography and fine art, among other honorable mentions and awards at a national level.
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
