He had his first training in the arts area at Tomás Cabreira High School between 1983 and 1985, where he was a student of Professor Aníbal Ruivo and painter Rosa Trindade. An autodidact artist, concerned with exploring all possible paths of art and who have for himselve, a personal concept of beauty. The universe of his painting represents, above all, a spiritual evolution. Through a free stroke tries to transmit to the screen movements and emotions, so that, we feel the living presence of its content. Always with the concern of acquiring new knowledge, has been using the most varied techniques since, the pastel, acrylic, oil, charcoal, watercolor, pen, graphite, obtaining very surprising results.
