I have a degree in Biomedical Sciences and
a master’s degree in Microbiology (1994).
But while I enjoy my baseline profession and verbal
communication, expressing myself through painting has always been a method I've
used to satisfy a compelling urge to create and a means of dealing with anxiety and depression. During this process, colors come alive and harmonize in a
ballet of lines and forms. Through a rhythm that is at times organic and at
times deliberate, emotions are conveyed, form is given, and magic unfolds. In that moment i feel alive and fulfield.
In 2003, I attended the Painting Course at the Faculty of Fine Arts of
Porto, which I abandoned due to my professional life demands. Nonetheless, I took several painting
courses with visual artists in the field. I have never stopped expressing
myself through painting as a cathartic and therapeutic process and I find
inspiration in the microscopic forms of Microbiology, nature, fauna and
feelings. I started with works in acrylic and oil. The passion for watercolor
set in later and currently oil pastel experience turned out to be a surprise! I immensely value the
ability to express myself through painting and it is in abstraction that I find
the greatest satisfaction.
