Biography
Portuguese artist, born in Lisbon. He studied painting and architecture at the Lisbon School of Fine Arts (ESBAL). At the beginning of his art career, in the 70's, he was associated with conceptualism, his work showed very personal and erotic figuration. By then the metaphors were incarnated through animals. He used different kinds of artistic expression: painting, photography, film (Legs, Faces, Shadows), installations and video. From the 80's, he embraced the "return to painting" making this the centre of his activity. The work composed of different fragments was, for a long period, one of his characteristics.
