About my pictures:
The roots of my artistic work comes from the knowledge acquired through a long experience, that pictures together with the aesthetic level, that is, the interplay of theme, format, colours, shapes, etc. are transmitting a message. They also reflect the inner world of those who create these images. Both the thinking, as well as the feeling of who creates artistic work, find their visible and tangible expression – sometimes more, sometimes less visible.
Pictures, and works of visual art in general, become a way of communication between humans beings.
This visual communication can take place at very different levels: more on the level of the "visible reality" – or more at the level of the "inner reality".
I call the first level, "outside view", the second "inside view". Consequently, the title of my solo exhibition in 2008 in the Convent of São José in Lagoa, Portugal was entitled "Exterior view – Interior view".
In my view, these levels are clearly distinct and require a different artistic language: The aspect of the "exterior reality" suggests a more objective representation; the theme of "interior reality", however, comes closer to more abstract images and design.
This distinction goes throw all my artistic work as a "red thread".
Another source of my artistic work is the fact that our whole life is shaped by the antagonisms – often profound – in nature around us, just as at all levels of human life. And in fact duality plays an important role: two different materials, two different supports play together, "interact", for instance in the "mirror-images" and the "horizon-images".
