I’m an artist based in Porto.
I think that my work belongs in the realm of fluid and chaotic motion that evokes a sense of otherworldly environments through the incorporation of motors and simple mechanics.
Combining sculpture, kinetics, found objects, energy, painting, and industrial materials, I aim towards the creation of mesmeric environments where artworks come alive in an enigmatic dance of disorder and harmony.
Each piece showcases an interplay of diverse shapes, materials, textures and light in a semblance of living organisms, they end up as a vehicle to a phantasmagoric wonder, by exhibiting involuntary behaviours that blur the lines of logic and perception.
The machines within the installations seem to have hidden souls, as if something is growing and evolving within them, waiting to be set free by the audience who is encouraged to witness this somewhat metamorphic process in a deeper level.
It's an invitation into the unknown, to go in and try to explore the complexities of the natural and supernatural world, to contemplate the forces that govern it.
