Graduated in Fine Arts, multimedia, by School of Fine Arts - FBAUP - at Oporto city, and studied illustration and animation in Design Superior School at IPCA - Instituto Politécnico do Cávado e do Ave, Barcelos. Artistic Career: In my artistic journey, I try to explore as much as possible, a plurality of techniques that allow me to discover new and different ways of creation. The multimediality of things and the possibility of different forms of creation have always fascinated me. I believe that might have been the motif that led me to the art world. Therefore, in the area of multimedia, I always try to relate diversified plastic languages such as photography, video, sound, sculpture, collage, drawing and illustration which clearly define the determination of Contemporary Art through this technical multimediality.
