Born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1994 and raised between nuns, priests and the wonders of pre-surveilled internet, my work tends to approach attempts of documenting emotional landscapes through poetics of commonality. Since I got my MFA at HEAD Genève and set my studio in Lisbon my work has been focused on project by project challenges that with time reveal what is solid and coherent between them all: a genuine passion for the poetic metamorphosis of the banal. My first works were in the form of video and sound. As an original member of Rabbit Hole queer collective (regularly present at Galeria Zé dos Bois) the interest on gatherings and performative gestures led me into searching still matter and volumes on space, sometimes called sculpture, other times called companions.
