When I was 5 years old I started to think that I wanted to draw and paint for the rest of my life! After concluded my academic life, first as student of Graphic Arts and Design in the of Decorative Arts School "António Arroio" and later as painting student in the Superior School of Arts in Lisbon. I initiated my career as a “Art Director” in some Portuguese advertising agencies. During 25 years I developed the activity of creative advertising executive and also my qualities of ilustrador. My formation in Plastic Arts allowed me to improve my knowledge the level of the domain of the plastic materials, knowledge the level of the color, light, shade, volumes and also domain of the anatomy.
