‘Connected’ when a point connects to another point
Connection has always been one of the main themes of my work.
We are somehow all connected, directly or indirectly, consciously or unconsciously, although it's quite rare to really feel the connection with something.
When it happens it creates inspiration.
It could be a person, a place, smell, a word, colour, a picture, etc.
Sometimes these things recall a certain memory. They can go beyond time.
my hidden creatures
I’m the witness of lonesome creatures of mine.
My dearest cohabitants are extremely honest and sensitive.
They live in a dark peaceful place.
They are helpless but not hopeless.
They are ugly but charming.
Their twisted arms are looking for a cuddle and their tangled hair is longing for a gentle stroking.
The tears behind the smile, the silent cry.
They are mute but speak with their eyes.
I meet those creatures when I have the urge to draw. They are normally hiding inside of me.
Drawing always was a channel to connect with them. Sometimes I see them as visions, and sometimes they come out as figures from the lines I draw.
They exist hiding within my consciousness and are unleashed by the impact of waves of emotions. They are much more honest, sensitive, and intuitive than I am. I normally try to block the negative emotions or pain to keep my mind in peace. In reality I must be still feeling them. I suppose those ignored feelings emerge as images and make me recognize that they exist.
I live with them and they live with me.
As minhas criaturas ocultas
Sou testemunha das minhas criaturas solitárias.
Os meus queridos coabitantes são extremamente honestos e sensíveis.
Vivem num lugar escuro e pacífico.
Estão desamparados, mas não desesperançados.
São feios, mas encantadores.
Os seus braços retorcidos procuram um abraço e os seus cabelos emaranhados desejam uma suave carícia.
As lágrimas por trás do sorriso, o choro silencioso.
São mudos, mas falam com os olhos.
Encontro essas criaturas quando sinto urgência para desenhar. Eles estão, normalmente, escondidos dentro de mim.
Desenhar sempre foi um canal para me conectar com eles. Às vezes vejo-os como visões, e outras eles surgem como figuras das linhas que desenho.
Eles existem escondidos na minha consciência e são libertados pelo impacto das ondas de emoções. Eles são muito mais honestos, sensíveis e intuitivos do que eu. Normalmente tento bloquear as emoções negativas ou a dor, para manter a minha mente em paz. Na verdade, devo continuar a senti-las. Suponho que esses sentimentos ignorados surgem como imagens e me fazem reconhecer que eles existem.
Eu vivo com eles, e eles vivem comigo.

En geral chamamos a caligrafia japonesa
“Shodo”o que é o arte de escrever hiragana, katakana (letras japonesas) e kanji (caracteres chineses) com um pincel com a tinta china.
Eu chamo a minha aula de caligrafia "O-Shuji" porque foi o que eu
aprendi quando eu estava na escola primária e é a palavra que pode traduzir
literariamente "aprender as letras"
Lembro-me de que gostei da aula porque escrever com um pincel dáva uma sensação totalmente diferente de escrever com lápis ou caneta. Realmente terás muito cuidadoso com o movimento do pincel e a combinação dos traços. Aprenderás desde os traços básicos até escrever algumas palavras em japonês no ambiente relaxante e harmonioso.
Japanese calligraphy class for beginners and advanced.
We call Japanese Calligraphy “Shodo” it’s the art of writing Hiragana,
Katakana,(Japanese letters)and Kanji(Chinese Characters) with a brush in india
ink.
I call my calligraphy class for “O-Shuji” because it was what I learnt when I
was in elementary school and it is the word that can be literary translate
“learn letters”
I remember that I enjoyed the class because writing with a brush gave me
totally different sensation from writing with pencil or pen. You would actually
care about the movement of the brush and enjoy the combination of the strokes.
You will learn from the basic strokes to writing some words in Japanese in
relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
This group exhibition is called TWO or DOIS at RESTOCK Gallery.
Each artist presents two works separately or some sort of duality within one artwork.
It is a simple concept.
The intent of this group exhibition is to expose local artists and feature works from our collection.
