I was born in the Azores islands and influenced by that environment I have

been drawing magical worlds and fantastic creatures since a very young age.

Latter I attended Art School for a period of three years however I decided to

graduate as an Architect.

Even though I was working as an architect by choice, those fantastic

creatures were screaming to get out.

So I finally decided to follow my passion and dedicate my full attention to the

artistic expression of my world.

Consequently my themes always revolve around Fantasy and Religion.

As a technique I use oil painting for its colour richness and jewel like effect.

At the moment I am working on an illustrated book based on my interpretation

of the Brothers Grimm Fairytales. This emerged out of my move to Germany

and my passion for German folk stories.
