There is a small painting at home that I painted in oil with my mother when I was 5 years old. I never had any doubts that my life would revolve around the arts.

I had the luck to be born and raised in Moledo do Minho, and when I think of my childhood, the Bola da Nívea and the smell of seaweed are always present. I left Moledo at the age of 17 to study Fine Arts in Caldas da Rainha (ESAD.CR), I studied in Venice Academy of Fine Arts (Italy) as an Erasmus student and later did my Master's in Animation and Illustration (IPCA).

Amidst the comings and goings of life, I chose Porto to live, where I have my ceramic workshop and the sea next door.

I am a ceramist and stop-motion animated film director, I do illustration and set design, and through the intricacies of creation I dedicate much of my time to teaching what I think I know how to do.

Knowing that my ceramics and my films travel the world makes me feel very good, hearing people laugh when they look at my characters is my purpose. And knowing that you are reading this text fills me with joy: this website is the gateway to one of my most special places, in which I dedicate a lot of my time and that only grows thanks to those who, like you, visit it.
