Pinto lembranças de outrora |
Nasci na ilha
Terceira, Açôres. Emigrei para os Estados Unidos com 12 anos,
onde vivo no Estado da Califórnia. |
My fascination for drawing and coloring began when I was a child. A self-taught artist, I enjoy painting, for the most part in oils, nostalgic and cherished timeless scenes of Portugal. Painting brings me much joy, because it allows me to create and visually express what's in my heart, and it's a way to share my cultural heritage. Each time I paint, I experience happy thoughts as I re-visit the humble and joyful way of life of my childhood in Terceira. I paint charming villages, timeless windmills, the quaint and everyday life scenes. Ideas come mostly from treasured memories I hold dearly and a calling to express and share my thoughts and tranquil experiences; which reflect the love I have for the everyday simple and serene life as I was fortunate to live it. My goal is for my work to also touch your heart, and perhaps, remind you of a positive memory or a precious moment that you too hold dearly. |
