Illustrate is to learn, is to discover and to arrive at a synthesis. But it is also recreate.

A magazine illustration is a supplement that helps you understand and which makes them more compelling content. In addition to becoming a most beautiful magazine. In the book, illustration is even more important because it explains, and sometimes says things that are not written.

I like to use pastel, color pencil, crayon, acrylic, oil, charcoal, collages and of course photoshop. Sometimes I mix the materials.

Between the reality and its representation pass up things. To a certain extent, I think I look the world like when I was a kid. I have a character who goes with me everywhere. It's my imaginary friend is a friend that is an idea, an idea that fits in reality, as if it were water. It is a good observer and is always in a good mood.

I love Almada Negreiros, Mário Botas, Paula Rego and Fernanda Fragateiro, all Portuguese artists. I also like Miró, Goya, Comès, Hugo Pratt, Oliver Jeffe
