He began his journey through the drawing and practice of watercolor. Fully dedicated to the activity since 1986, the year in which it began to participate in shows and prizes, and to exhibit regularly in the main art galleries of the country, exploring and adopting other supports, materials and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His first solo exhibition outside Portugal took place in 1995. There have been some National Prizes, collective participations and more than 50 solo exhibitions in Portugal and abroad. Over the years, the plasticity of his work has evolved towards an increasingly reflective and contemporary approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Latest Solo Exhibition: \u201cFloating Machines Series\u201d January 2019 at Bill Lowe Gallery, Atlanta, GA, USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of my work it matters the color, the trace, or no more than what is heard of them. It matters what they both say, when together or apart, present or announced, or no more than what looses them. It is important to speak of this life that stretches between two worlds, both new; of the former where we can no longer fit, the new where we stubbornly adapt. It is important to speak of this time, of this catalytic place where everything begins, again. It is important to be, to connect with the hands and the head, the certainty cured to the freshness of the becoming. And from this struggle is done the work. Figuration prevails, or abstraction reigns in defiance of the covenant. It makes clear the origin and in the next moment already wanders almost erratically dismantling the maternal mark in search of wider ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For we too are all this, both memory and invention, silence and noise, peace and discord. As a people and as an artist, I feel like this: in between, between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And my painting or what remains of it, thing or nothing, is no more than the visible essay of this being, of this being so. School orphan, wild and stubborn, is born and thriving on the sweet surfaces of the paper, in the tensions of a woven linen, worked stand, palimpsest care as if smoothing the place for a ceremony. One by one, single as the first, as accomplices as a child, are always the sum of what precedes them, ways to open to the next, pieces that do not altogether separate by any universal law. It is an exercise of mine, an intimate thing that makes me understand, in order to understand myself in this kind of delusion, so deliciously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solo Exhibitions (selection)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2023 Garden Gazing Series \/ The Arx London- London | United Kingdom<br>2023 Recent Works \/ Benjamin Eck Projects \u2013 Munich | Germany<br>2022 Cada Lugar II \/ Each Place II \u2013 Galeria S\u00e3o Mamede \u2013 Porto | Portugal<br>2022 Cada Lugar II \/ Each Place II \u2013 Galeria S\u00e3o Mamede \u2013 Lisboa | Portugal<br>2021 Cada Lugar I \/ Each Place I \u2013 Convento do Esp\u00edrito Santo \u2013 Loul\u00e9 | Portugal<br>2019 Floating Machines \u2013 Bill Lowe Gallery \u2013 Atlanta, GA | United States<br>2018 Home \u2013 Separated Land Series \u2013 Passevite \u2013 Lisboa | Portugal<br>2017 Mares \u2013 Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Ant\u00f3nio Pascoal \u2013 Aveiro | Portugal<br>2017 Separated Land IV \u2013 Galeria S\u00e3o Mamede \u2013 Lisboa | Portugal<br>2016 Separated Land \/ Agartha \u2013 Bill Lowe Gallery \u2013 Atlanta, GA | United States<br>2015 Separated Land II \u2013 Galeria de Arte Casino Estoril \u2013 Estoril | Portugal<br>2014 Separated Land \u2013 Bill Lowe Gallery \u2013 Atlanta, GA | United States<br>2013 Argonautas \u2013 Casa Museu Teixeira Lopes \u2013 Gaia | Portugal<br>2013 Moving Places \u2013 Bill Lowe Gallery \u2013 Atlanta, GA | United States<br>2013 Zwarte Koninginnen \u2013 Rainhas Negras \u2013 Amstelkerk \u2013 Amsterdam | Netherlands<br>2012 Remind 25 \u2013 Cosmopolis \/ Centre Culturel Europ\u00e9en \u2013 Nantes | France<br>2011 Remind 25 \u2013 Museu da Cidade de Aveiro \u2013 Aveiro | Portugal<br>2011 Ad Infinitum \/ Sil\u00eancio \u2013 Consulado-Geral de Portugal \u2013 Paris | France<br>2009 Invisible Shapes \u2013 Alphart Gallery \u2013 Lisboa | Portugal<br>2008 El afecto el Tiempo y el Rio \u2013 Fundaci\u00f3n Duero \u2013 C\u00e1ceres, Salamanca, Valladolid | Spain<br>2006 Ib\u00e9ria \u2013 Galeria de Arte Casino Estoril \u2013 Estoril | Portugal<br>2000 Parcours Imaginaire \u2013 Convent des R\u00e9collets \u2013 Cognac | France<br>2000 Parcours Imaginaire \u2013 Staff Centre, NATO Headquarters | Brussels | Belgium<br>2000 S\u00edtios da Mem\u00f3ria \u2013 Galeria dos Coimbras \u2013 Braga | Portugal<br>1999 Besti\u00e1rio \/ Touros \u2013 Enquadrar \u2013 Aveiro | Portugal<br>1999 Estudos para um Improviso \u2013 Galeria de Arte Casino Estoril \u2013 Estoril | Portugal<br>1997 Centro UNESCO \u2013 Porto | Portugal<br>1995 Sud \u2013 Royal Anderlecht Golf Club \u2013 Brussels | Belgium<br>1995 Colec\u00e7\u00f5es Particulares II \u2013 Staff Centre, NATO Headquarters | Brussels | Belgium<br>1995 Colec\u00e7\u00f5es Particulares I \u2013 Maison des Artistes \u2013 Anderlecht | Belgium<br>1991 Museu Regional de Sintra \u2013 Sintra | Portugal<br>1986 Galeria de Arte A Grade \u2013 Aveiro | Portugal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Group Exhibitions (selection)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2017 2\u00aa Bienal de Arte de Gaia (Invited Artist) \u2013 Gaia | Portugal<br>2015 1\u00aa Bienal de Arte de Gaia \u2013 Gaia | Portugal<br>2012 Sexto Sentido \u2013 Galeria 57 \u2013 Macao | China<br>2012 Kunstart 12 \u2013 Bolzano | Italy<br>2008 Artein, Art Madrid \u2013 Madrid | Spain<br>2001 5\u00ba Pr\u00e9mio Nacional de Pintura Ant\u00f3nio Joaquim \u2013 Gaia | Portugal<br>2000 MarcaMadeira \u2013 Feira de Arte Contempor\u00e2nea \u2013 Madeira | Portugal<br>2000 500 anos da Descoberta do Brasil \u2013 Curitiba | Brasil<br>2000 ArteSevilla \u2013 Feria de Arte Contemporaneo \u2013 Sevilla | Spain<br>1999 FAC \u2013 Feira de Arte Contempor\u00e2nea \u2013 Lisboa | Portugal<br>1998 2\u00ba Pr\u00e9mio Nacional de Pintura Ant\u00f3nio Joaquim \u2013 Gaia | Portugal<br>1997 1\u00ba Pr\u00e9mio Nacional de Pintura Ant\u00f3nio Joaquim \u2013 Gaia | Portugal<br>1997 Colectiva d\u2019Estiu \u2013 Galeria Marbell\u00f3 \u2013 Barcelona | Spain<br>1996 Printemps Culturel \u2013 Avignon | France<br>1994 Muestra de Arte Portugues Contemporaneo \u2013 Barcelona | Spain<br>1992 Sal\u00e3o de Aguarela \u2013 Galeria de Arte Casino Estoril \u2013 Estoril | Portugal<br>1991 Lisboa \u2013 S\u00e9c.
